Trend Alert: Denim Short Shorts

Wed, 04/02/2008 - 8:00am by FabSugar

As the weather gets warmer, look to denim short shorts to cool off — and show off — those marvelous gams. Denim shorts have made yet another comeback this Spring with a variety of styles — not all reminiscent of Suzanne Somer's days in Three's Company. Dress them up with some fierce heels or downplay those sexy stems with a pair of flat sandals. Oh, and don't forget to strut like the D&G diva to my left.

I blame the ever-talented and gorgeous Erin Wasson for this tiny trend (pun intended). I love the look, and when worn with the right shoes, they make your legs look miles long!

A little tip: you may want to have a nice color to your skin so that you don't see too many imperfections. I use self-tanner mixed with sunblock, even in the summer, to help hide them.

I think shorts are a necessity in a hot humid louisiana summer! Love them. I just got a pair of J Brand cuff shorts and they are PERFECTION!

Being bottom heavy, I have never attempted to wear short-short. It would be very wrong in my part.

i dont have the legs or bottom for short shorts, though i do equally love my legs and bottom. the thought of wearing shorts that short just makes me imagine my backside and thighs getting stuck to sweaty plastic seats ::shudder::

So cute! I like wearing shorts with wedge sandals or heels...they make the legs look so long, which is nice when you're on the shorter side like me.

I love short shorts, and even though I have a big bum and short legs, I rock those short shorts! I do however have a problem with women's shorts getting shorter and shorter, and men's shorts getting so long that they're practically pants!

I totally bought the Old Navy ones last week in dark denim... they were on sale for $15!

Taadie, good point! Shorts this short are just uncomfortable, sitting. How much better, and classier, to wear regular length shorts or a nice dress?

I'm excited that shorts have come back in style. I love them with heels. I don't think I've worn denim shorts since high school!
