Spring has sprung!
Spring has sprung! Shorts were a strong feature on the Spring/Summer 2014 catwalks, with designers including Michael Kors, 3.1 Phillip Lim and Isabel Marant which make them spring-summer wardrobe essentials and are a great alternative to dresses.
Short suits give a clean classic look to the wearer and can be worn separate or together. And if you don’t own a short suit worry not as we’re sure you own a few blazers and pair of tailored shorts. Opt for monochrome black or white shorts if you’re a newbie to this trend. Pair your tailored shorts with a blazer & shirt or blouse and voila you got yourself a short suit.
