Conciliatory matters, sharp cuts and exposed legs. Shorts lead the double game of sophisticated and casual. Small instructions to follow to wear the short pants in the rules of the art.

The micro-shorts

Without doubt the most daring declination of shorts. A XXS length worn close to the body, which is encanaille in its denim version with projecting cuts and frayed borders. A look so destroy, which one attenuates with a discreet top like a white shirt or a round-neck T-shirt. More weighted, the micro-shorts cotton fabrics or bohemian inspiration, allows more freedom: top tank top, camisole top, V-neck T-shirt ... Be careful not to fall into vulgarity.

Bermuda Shorts

Featuring a midi length, predominantly retro, and an androgynous appearance, the bermuda seems difficult to wear. Error: this piece, drawn from the men's locker room, adapts to all styles. Resolutely sportswear with a marcel and white sneakers , rather bohemian with a high-necked boat neck and sneakers , or preppy-chic with a white shirt and sandals. Another option is the denim bermuda , cut in an old Levis 501, whose highly vintage look fits perfectly with the current silhouettes. And, for the big nights, it is mixed with a cropped top and a beautiful pair of heels to play down its old school side.

The culottes

Certainly retro, the culotte skirt , a stylistic compromise between the skirt and the shorts, is at the top of our summer wishlist. High waisted, accentuates the vintage style with a mid-thigh length that is modernized with a cropped top. More daring: combine with a bra, which is tempered with a waistcoat vest.
