A FEAR OF SHORTS<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019ve regretted the lack of summer weather this year \u2014 our family holiday in Somerset could have used at least one hour of blue sky \u2014 but it brought a hidden blessing. No shorts.<\/p>\n A few years ago I got rid of all the shorts in my life.<\/p>\n Yes, they are the most comfortable and practical clothing for hot weather, but shorts \u2014 like headbands, mini-skirts and Peter-Pan collars \u2014 have an age limit, and I realised I had passed it well over a decade earlier.<\/p>\n I had also stopped being able to find a pair I liked or that suited me. Chino shorts? I just can\u2019t.\u00a0<\/p>\n Denim reminded me of Daisy Duke, khaki left me feeling like Indiana Jane and I have neither the thighs nor the audacity for cycling shorts.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Shirt, \u00a3170 and shorts, \u00a3110, cefinn.com; sunglasses, \u00a3125, cubitts.com; jute bag, \u00a355, aspiga.com; flip-flops, \u00a315, prettylittlething.com<\/p>\n CHIC YET COMFY<\/span><\/p>\n Anyway, I\u2019m now facing a sudden week of scorching last-gasp summer and I have solved my shorts dilemma.\u00a0<\/p>\n I have found a pair, and a\u00a0way to wear them, that is comfortable, practical, but also chic.<\/p>\n Loose-fit with an elasticated waist \u2014 almost boxer shorts but suitable for daywear \u2014 they are everything I have been looking for: light and airy, and comfortable.\u00a0<\/p>\n And if you\u00a0wear them right, they\u2019re effortlessly elegant, too.<\/p>\n GO FOR MATCHING SET<\/span><\/p>\n So how does a grown woman wear shorts?\u00a0<\/p>\n This is where the\u00a0co-ord comes in: matching sets are a sophisticated way to wear something that is anything but sophisticated, taking the humble shorts a long way from the idea of men\u2019s underwear.<\/p>\n And the end-of-season sales are the perfect time to invest.\u00a0<\/p>\n You\u2019ve got today and tomorrow to pick up a set before what looks like being the best weekend of the year weather-wise.<\/p>\n NOW SHOP THE TREND…\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n uk.maje.com<\/p>\n <\/p>\n uk.maje.com\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n riseandfall.co<\/p>\n <\/p>\n riseandfall.co\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n withnothing<\/span>underneath.com<\/p>\n <\/p>\n withnothing<\/span>underneath.com<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sporty & Rich at\u00a0<\/span>net-a-porter.com<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sporty & Rich at\u00a0<\/span>net-a-porter.com<\/p>\n
