Emma Roberts Rocks A Sweater & Shorts Look

If there's one thing I love about Emma Roberts, it's her knack for pulling off on-the-go looks with ease. Roberts wore a textured sweater and jeans shorts for a winning outfit that she posted on Instagram, with a caption that illustrates even stars run late for work every now and then. But juggling bags and skipping showers certainly didn't take away from this actresses style. She looked trendy as always in this ensemble.

Even running out the door, Roberts landed a sweater and shorts combination that is perfect for a spring to summer transitional style. She gave her white, textured sweater a summery feel by pairing it with distressed jean shorts, showing that a classic summer staple is always good to have on hand. Her disheveled hair looked like it was perfectly styled in that bed-head way as she posed for a rushed Instagram photo.

From beanies and graphic tees to statement sunnies and plaid shirts, Roberts always manages to elevate any laid-back look with her accessories, and this time was no different. With green juice and brown bags in hand, her stand-out extras were her sunnies and her high style backpack. Perfect for a day out with the girls or running to work, these elements are what brought the outfit to life.

There are as many ways to pull off the sweater and shorts combo as there are people to wear it. To really pull this look off, opt for a lighter sweater and add accessories that are appropriate for the season.

Tuck it in and roll up the sleeves

There's no need to sacrifice style when its hot out. Roll up the sleeves on your sweater and tuck in the bottom to feel the breeze and still look great.

Add summer graphics

Pineapple print is totally in this summer, so opt for a seasonal print that will make a long-sleeved topper seem warm-weather appropriate.

Crop it!

Long sleeved crop tops may seem redundant, but its the perfect way to pull off the spring time sweater.

Layer things up

Layering is the perfect way to go from day to night without overeating (or freezing your arms off). Grab a sweater and tie it around your waist for when the night gets chilly or use it as a beach coverup during the day.

Keep things light

Opt for a light sweater to nail the look without breaking a sweat. The more textured the light sweater, the trendier the outfit.
