Get Shorty!
I’ve always been a bit of a tomboy so wearing little girly skirts has never really been a staple look of my summer wardrobe. The threat of a sudden gust of wind creates a highly embarrassing situation unless of course I’d been blessed with pins that would make Elle Macpherson jealous (I can confirm this is not the case) otherwise I’d welcome any surprise breeze. Most of us however panic and grab as much fabric as humanly possible with both hands (which ironically seems to happen while walking past a group of builders!)
So how glad I was to see so many shorts on the high street this Spring/Summer, a pair for everyday.. Linen & cotton style’s that team with pumps, ballet shoes & espadrilles. Silk & laser cut shorts wear with heeled sandals and peep toe shoe boots to give maximum impact and I love the versatility that a pair of shorts can give, the term “dress up or down” absolutely applies to shorts and since the tailored city short burst onto the high street 5 years ago the reinvention is continuous as this seasons laser cut silk over fold designs prove. So as always we’ve picked the best of the rest with our mini WRUW rundown selection….
