Terrified of the bike shorts trend? Thankfully, there are chic alternatives for a more forgiving summer go-to.
In loose fits and fluid fabrications, shorts can still be a style to turn to as the temperatures pick up.
Designers such as Alexa Chung, Margaret Howell, Rejina Pyo and Preen by Thornton Bregazzi have put sensible shorts back on the fashion map.
For SS19, they need to be high-waisted, tailored and a short length to elongate your legs.
When the weather gets warmer a short suit is a cool alternative to a pant suit, especially if you wear the blazer open with a white tee underneath.
Oversized blazers paired with coordinating loose-fit tailored shorts are this summer’s power suit.
Think Julia Roberts’ in Pretty Woman; Vogue recently named her character, Vivian Ward, as one of “10 throwback movie muses who are totally on-trend for SS19” citing her “sorbet-coloured city shorts with boxy blazer”.
Earlier this month Victorious actress Victoria Justice rocked the trend in the form of a Kate Spade shorts and a blazer combo to attend the Pimlico Race Track, in Baltimore, Maryland.
Get the look for less at Asos with the Y.A.S stripe tailored blazer and short co-ord.
