Simple styling is what we need when it's boiling hot and it doesn't come much more no-fuss than a pair of timeless white shorts. The neutral colour and breezy shape make them a useful basic and Zara Tindall has shown that they're an elevated alternative to blue denim.
She wore a pair of PAIGE shorts on a boat trip in Australia last year and styled them with a basic white vest top. The outfit was minimal, monochrome - and incredibly chic. If you haven't found a pair of flattering shorts for summer yet, there's still time, and wide-leg designs are worth considering.
