As we all know, shorts are on trend for this summer. Day time, night time, knee length, short shorts, different fabrics the list goes on... And yet, it is the most often heard complaint, "but I am too old/fat/pale/scarred to wear shorts."
At StyleGuideCT we all say 'rubbish' — there are definitely shorts for everyone, you just have to pick the right ones for you.
So we sent Alex out to the stores to see what she could find for people who are looking to include the essential khaki shorts in their wardrobes this summer:
1. The top pair from Country Road at Woolworths have great fabric and length and are an affordable price of R349. They are available in navy, charcoal and black if you are looking for more.
2. Studio.w at Woolworths are R225 and great value for money. "Tried and tested" these are a fantastic fit and comfortable. Only available in this colour right now but keep an eye out as they are sure to come in black later in the season.
3. These ones at Mango are a great pair of knee length shorts, available in this colour, navy and black for R250.
4. These locally designed Alexandra Hojer pair are a much shorter version but we couldnt resist including them. They are also available in black and a denim stripe (dark denim wash with white pin stripe) at R650 each.
