I mean, of course they’re for summer — we don’t tend to wear shorts much in winter. Although I do recall a time (not that long ago) when there was a trend for wearing denim cut-offs with tights. I fully bought into that, I have to say. But I’ll try most things once.
I’ve done a few shorts styling posts here and here, but I thought it might be useful to have a stand-alone article featuring some of the best pairs still available — just in case you haven’t found your perfect pair yet.
