It seems modern women are already used to any, even most extremal kinds of cloth, appropriated items of male wardrobe resolutely and borrow things from any epochs and any nations. Nevertheless, there’s a thing in female wardrobe, which is still on the edge of common passions. Strangely enough, there are shorts.
On the one hand, this is a very comfortable and practical cloth for summer hot weather. On the other hand, for some reason, it causes bigger negation, than, say, miniskirt, although they have quite similar style. And all the same shorts penetrate into, say, a business woman’s wardrobe with great difficulty, and are traditionally considered an attribute of youth fashion.
However, this stereotype is completely unfounded. And a simple fact is a confirmation to it: in most collections of leading fashion Houses there’re certain variations on the subject of shorts. This summer season is no exception. Even such followers of classic elegance, like Lagerfeld, Givenchy, Hermes or Collete Dinnigan couldn’s avoid this craze.
So you should forget prejudices and listen to your inner voice, appealing to get maximum pleasure from your image. First of all, let’s turn to such strange (for some representatives of fair sex) combination, like shorts for business wardrobe.
Yes, really, many bosses categorically refuse to accept such choice of their subordinates. Well, ok. However, if your boss is rather loyal, or you are a representative of a creative profession, or may be still spend time in a lecture hall, or travel a lot - then your choice in this hot summer is just fated.
Moreover, you’ve got a good choice. For example, DKNY present shorts of black flax in male style with small cuffs, Collete Dinnigan - cotton khaki shorts, but not in actual safari style, but rather in sports one; Lagerfeld, Loewe or Luca Luca - white elongated, with chaste middle width.
 
By the way, white shorts - are a pink of elegance and this season’s hit, although, of course, someone may consider them unpractical. But white color itself cannot be practical in principle, however it makes a woman feminine in some special way, that’s why many people like it.
If you are still inclined to wear shorts on work, you need to remember several simple rules. Firts of all, length should be knee-deep or one palm upper knee, but not shorter. Secondly, you should avoid bright colors: choose actual beige, khaki, terracotta, white or black. Thirdly, combine shorts with things you usually wear with trousers or skirts. These are classical white shirts, light romantic chiffon blouses with flounces and ruches, knitted polo-shirts, slinky short-cut coats or jackets-bolero.
 
But one thing is simple: shorts are just irreplaceable outside of work this summer. And here you should risk, even if you’ve never worn them. No matter which trend you prefer in your usual life, today you’ll definitely choose shorts in this style. Say, BCBG presents very romantic things - of thin materials, volumetric, with cuffs. Satin ribbons, tied in big bows, suit them wonderfully instead of belts.
 
Chanel, Lagerfeld, Luca Luca, to the contrary, present elongated and very tight slinky shorts. They look great with long, loose shirts, long cotton knitted jumpers worn outside, blouses and tops with numerous frills and ruches. Naturally, it’s better to combine such shorts with shoes without heels - sandals. High heels can visually distort proportions of your figure.
This season the most popular length of shorts - is in upper third of hip. On the one hand, this is quite decent, on the other hand - rather sexual. This length is so universal, that it looks good with any used materials (denim, flax, silk, jercey, satin) and any color spectrum. Moreover, such shorts can be combined practically with any things - from glamourous satin blouses to erotic tops-corsets.
 
However, there’re two peculiarities in this fashionable season. Thus, many designers offer very short shorts, which rather resemble pants - bikinis (Alessandro Dell’Acqua, D&G, Fendi, Just Cavalli, Ribeiro and others). It’s clear, that this is first of all a beach vacational variant, but it looks quite pretty.
 
Another peculiarity of this season is shorts with a high waist-line in retro style. Most likely, you won’t be able to determine the exact period of such shorts - may be forties, may be sixties. However that may be, such shorts (with any length) look very feminine, however they require an ideally flat belly from you.
In general, some people consider, that wearing shorts requires ideal state of legs from a lady. However, today few of us can boast of it. And this doesn’t mean at all that owners of not so ideal shapes should deny themselves such pleasure. It’s enough, if your legs are just well-groomed, with smooth healthy skin, after high-quality procedure of depilation, with suitable shoes.
