Who Wears Short Shorts?

Shorts are the new leggings, or so it seems. Wear them now with tights and when the warmer weather appears ditch the tights and show some leg. This season they are anywhere from modest to daring, with a lot of silhouettes featuring a mid to high waist and a cuffed leg. Take note: bike shorts are no longer limited to be worn while cycling. Layer them underneath mini skirts and shorter shorts. I like how the lace trim peeks out and adds a bit of cheekiness. Denim shorts are still a big hit with rolled cuffs or destroyed hems for that added 90s grunge factor. Oh and I mustn’t forget about silk shorts with lace edges (think lingerie) which are more risque but can be very sexy chic when done right. So ladies, when it comes to wearing shorts, the more leg the better!

Sparkle & Fade Bike Short Approx. $30 CAD

Great post! I’ve been loving tailored shorts with cuffed legs and slightly retro detailing lately–I keep wanting to buy more pairs.

Thanks Lisa! Glad you like it =) And yes, I keep wanting to buy more shorts too. I definitely love wearing them with tights. I want more tailored shorts w/cuffed legs and wouldn’t mind a billowy floral pair either!

Those lace bike shorts are so cute, like a summery version of winter’s patterned tights.
