We all love shorts for a number of reasons. 1) They are outstandingly practical in our hot South African summers. Without them most of us would’ve fainted from heat exhaustion.
2) They pair well with everything- tops, t-shirts, bikins and jerseys.
3) Their is a style of shorts to suit everyone.

But PLEASE, clothes were designed to cover you, and not to show of all your assets, if you get my drift. So caution, be wary of how high they rise. Don’t just look at your beautiful smile in the mirror, do a little swirl and see the other side of your body.

So until winter comes out to play, enjoy all your shorts! (Although tights still make shorts rather wearable in the cold months).
And if you are really keen you can even make your own ombre shorts!
All you need is a plain coloured pair of shorts, some eye-catching fabric dye, and some inspiration…

Here are some pretty kick-ass shorts, combining trends of ombre, studs and grunge to get those creative juices flowing…
