Shorts are one of the hardest garments to wear well. Even as a stylist, I’m sometimes left in a state of clothes fog when I’m going for a legs-out ‘fit – mainly when the dress code is on the formal side. But, over the years, I’ve learnt some easy-to-follow rules which help to beat the bare-legs anxiety when the mercury’s on the rise.
First of all, you should cater for your body shape. For instance, if you’re someone who never misses leg day, avoid slim shorts which could end up looking a little Starsky & Hutch. Instead, perhaps try a pair of wide-leg Bermuda shorts. Or, if you’re on the shorter side (like me), shorts with a shorter inseam which fall just above the knee would look best. Either way, there’s no one-size-fits-all policy so it might take a little trial and error before finding the perfect pair.
