Finding a pair of flattering shorts you feel comfortable and confident in sounds easy but can often be a challenge. I personally love longer cotton denim styles which give you a bit more coverage and are breathable. Add a long sleeve shirt and you've got yourself an unexpectedly chic combination to wear in the heatwave.
This is what woman&home cover star Alex Jones did last summer when she gave her Instagram followers a house update wearing light-wash shorts. These were a lot like the classic Levi's 501 mid-thigh style and had frayed hems.
