What: Shorts
Which: Shorts are a big trend for summer. Scary isn’t it?. For those with sexy legs you can toss on short, cuffed shorts in any colour you want. Denim looks great too. For the rest of us there are serious guidelines. You can wear shorts to the knee but they need to be narrow. The short, baggy look works with fabulous legs but please ignore any bloomers stopping at the knee. Go for high waist, darker flattering, understated colours and stiff fabrics. You don’t need anything flapping around: your thighs do that for you.
Why: Because shorts are a great alternative to trousers when it gets hot. Because they are more casual than a skirt and a little more hip. Because shorts are not as sexy as a mini. Because they look cool that’s why.
Wear: With killer heels, with monster heels, with Alien heels. These shorts are a fashion item and not for wearing on Safari. Wearing shorts with flats is outrageously tricky for anyone who is not a mutation of the species (i.e a model). Wear with your favourite sharp shoulder blazer. Wear with a tank and a zip sporty jacket. Wear with a sequin tank or a blouse. Wear with body lotion and fake tan.
