Right now we find ourselves in the most magical time of year, also known as shorts and hoodie season. Whether you're taking a twilight stroll or it's simply a windier-than-usual late summer day, the shorts and hoodie combination is one that will keep you comfortable and stylish until we reach peak winter.

I've thought a lot about why a hoodie and shorts look so great together and have come to the conclusion that it has to do with evoking both a "ready for anything" spirit as well as a casualness that lends itself to more confidence. And, as many know, confidence is the secret ingredient to all style maneuvers. Plus, there's the fact that most sneakers (in fact, almost all) look better when worn with shorts.

By combining these two equally great clothing options, you can unlock a new plane of stylishness. But let's face facts: There are a million different shorts and a million more hoodies, so we've helped break down which ones to wear based on different styles you may be into: from the monochrome and minimal to colorful patterns and combinations. Check out the picks below:

Isn’t every color neutral technically? Regardless, pairing this shade of grey with moss green is a nice way to step into fall.
