Get Shorty – Showing off Your Legs this Summer

With a three-month heat wave predicted for the UK this summer (where have we heard that one before!), there’s going to be plenty of opportunity to show off those legs and catch a healthy tan. To make the most of the rare, glorious British climate, a few pairs of women’s shorts are going to be vital. Shorts are one of the most versatile and comfortable fashion items in anyone’s wardrobe and this year the variety is greater than ever. With a fair few sunny days on the way, we reckon you’re going to need a few different pairs of shorts to keep things fresh. Here are our top picks.

Denim Shorts

Denim shorts are a top trend every summer and are brilliantly easy to style for a casual or dressy look. These Zaira denim shorts encompass another hot fashion trend of the summer – lace – and feature silver studs and frayed fringing for a great bohemian look that can be styled with anything from crop tops to going out tops and flat sandals or wedges for any occasion.

Cut-off Denim Shorts

You can certainly never have enough pairs of denim shorts and some comfortable cut-offs are a summer wardrobe essential. The dark-washed out denim look is easy to dress up or down and the lace effect on the back pockets gives these Rooney shorts a unique look that can be completed with a wet-look crop top, some black platform boots, and some big sunglasses.

 Floral Shorts

Floral patterns are on-trend for summer 2014 and a pair of these black Kelly floral shorts will be brilliant for long summer walks and days at the beach. The elasticated edge makes them comfortable to wear throughout the day and night. Finish off the look with some simple flip-flops and a brightly coloured oversize handbag.

 Studded Hot Pants

No summer wardrobe is complete without a couple of pairs of hot pants to create that chic look. These black studded Frankie hot pants feature a worn and ripped design that is sexy and stylish for both day and night. For the day, pair these women’s shorts with some wedges and a crop top, and change into a bodysuit or blouse for the evening.

High Waisted Disco Shorts

Now that you are well stocked up on denim, you can change things up by going for a pair of hot high-waist Reese disco shorts. You can get these shorts in red, pink, blue, and yellow – all of which look great during the warm summer days, and hot when paired with going out tops and heels for nights out.
