Short shorts are not just to be worn on beach and gardens, they look chic enough on evenings too to be compared with mini skirts. They may not be for everyone, but they are great for those blessed with model like legs. Pair them with a long sleeve blouse or jacket to complete the up market look.Feeling an urge to grab these shorts? just click here

For the rest of us who think they are mature enough (usually over 21's) for short shorts, long shorts are the sophisticated option. They not only look good, but are also helpful for those with heavy or unshapely thighs.

At Ralph Lauren, long shorts were high waisted, loose fit and cuffed. They were paired with trench coats and polo necks, creating a timeless, easy to wear, sophisticated look.

This is a look that is not meant just for models and celebrities! Such loose fit shorts are comfortable and allow any kind of figure to fit into them, but if you are choosing high waisted then make sure you haven't got a big bum. Otherwise high waisted are good for short women or women with short legs. Pair them with polo necks if you have long and thin neck and you are not bulky or else trench coats do the trick.Eager to get one? It's just a click away

You don't need to be a certain fashion type to fit into this trend as it includes a range of looks from preppy school girl to sophisticated women.

So make a salute to stripes (choose vertical or horizontal stripes depending upon your height and built) or go dotty for spots this year.
