Snag the four hottest runway inspired trends in summer bottoms
for a price you can afford: high-waisted shorts, two-length
skirts, wide-leg pants and maxi skirts can be your means to
fashionably frolicking shorside or strutting down city streets
as the summer heats up.
High-Waisted Shorts
This summer, a high waistline will no longer be associated
with the horrid "mom jean" fashion faux pas. Grab
a pair of high-waisted shorts that won't hide your feminine
figure like the denim mom wears, but will instead cinch your
waist and elongate your legs. Pair either style (scalloped
or paper-bag) with a tucked-in button down
or sheer blouse, and flats to acheive a retro look.

Two-Length Skirts: Short...or
Long?
This innovative new cut allows you to have the best of both
worlds in a single skirt; it fills the void between mini and
maxi. Short in the front and long in the back, the hem exposes
enough leg to allow flirtation yet provides coverage in the
back for a more adult, conservative look. Pair with heels
and watch either the longtail or
sheer skirt work wonders on legs made magically
longer.
