Shorts trend

Nothing says summer like a pair of shorts and luckly they are a must-have this season. The great thing is, that you can use them for any kind of event this summer. No matter what shape you wear, the freshest way to wear shorts this season, is with tops that hit at the hip – whether wearing them at work or for a night out. Pair them with boots, stilettos or gladiators... anything goes. You'll also find shorts in the menswear department. Take a look at Dolce & Gabbana ss09 and Missoni ss09.
