With the weather warming up, try these contemporary ways to wear denim shorts …
It needn’t be roasting for you to move into wearing shorts. Belt a long style, that hits just above your knee, and you can wear them with a long-sleeved T-shirt or even a lightweight knit.
On the flip side, a shorter hem line works well for the city – just make sure you style it differently to the beach. Swap flip-flops or sandals for ballet flats and balance the shorter style with a long-sleeved blouse.
We loved the cuffed denim trend for jeans, so why not try it for shorts, too?
As for classics, we love true-blue shorts teamed with a fail-safe basket bag.
Accessorise with a hairband for a dash of ladylike elegance.
In footwear, a statement ballet flat – think: a pointed or squared-off toe – will elongate your leg.
You can also trade blue denim for white for an ultra-summery feel. Pair with a gingham printed top for perfection.
