Types Of Shorts
Since there is an insane variety of shorts in the market, we’re going to break it all down for you by dividing everything into three categories, i.e.: Fabric, Length and Latest Trends.
Fabric:
There were times when the only type of shorts worn and sold was made out of denim. While we all love denim, the sight of only denim shorts induced a lot of monotony. But now, since all the old trends of the 60s, 70s and 80s are fusing with the latest trends of athleisure and sports luxe, shorts are been made in a number of different fabrics. Let’s look at some of the more prominent ones:
Denim
: The classic, ubiquitous denim shorts are still here but a thousand times better than the boring old ones. We’ve got denim shorts which are cut off, rolled hem, printed, checked, striped, printed at hems, distressed, boyfriend fit, lace hems, scalloped hems, and fuzzy hems among others. Lace
: These shorts with intricate lacy patterns are perfect for fancy days. Lace shorts add a beautiful, feminine and chic twist to every outfit. A pair of high waist lace shorts is an extremely versatile and classy item to style. Cotton and Cotton Blends
: Cotton shorts are a lifesaver when it comes to summer heat and humidity. Cotton shorts, though comfortable are just as chic as any other pair of shorts with their huge range of variety like: flared, high waist, printed, embroidered, checked, striped, ombre, abstract and tropical.Silk and Silk Blends
: The vintage silk shorts trend is coming back again. When it comes to delicate, classy, and stylish no other fabric says it as well as silk. So if you want to flaunt your legs while feeling every bit like a lady, there is no better choice than silk shorts.Linen
: The eco-friendly and luxurious alternative to cotton, linen is a huge rage in the fashion industry right now. Beat the summer heat in a pair of linen shorts, which not only absorb moisture much better than cotton but also look extremely structured and sophisticated.Corduroy
: Equally rugged and retro, corduroy shorts are a perfect option when you want some nice texture in your wardrobe. Derived from the Fustian fabric, corduroy acts a perfect alternative to velvet for summers. Suede
: Suede is a soft, thin, pliable fabric with a velvety finish. Suede shorts and skirts have been very popular lately. Beat the heat while still looking very pretty and feminine with a pair of high waist scalloped end suede shorts.Leather
: Leather shorts have been around forever due to the whole ultra fashionable, biker chic vibe they channel. A classic pair of leather shorts can elevate any look and give it major edgy vibes.
Length:
According to the length, shorts can be divided into four broad categories. You can totally choose your ideal length as per your sense of style and comfort.
Booty shorts
: Booty shorts or the short shorts, these are extremely short and tight. They can have a low or an extremely high waist. They can be styled for sporty, casual and even elegant occasions. Booty shorts have also been featured in the runway collections of Prada, Anna Sui, Baja East and Moschino. Bermuda shorts
: These sleek cut, elegant shorts reach almost up to the knees. Once a part of menswear, Bermuda shorts have been very well inculcated in women’s clothing. They were featured in the collections of Ace&JIg, Beyond Closet and Escada.Classic shorts
: As the name suggests, the classic shorts sit between the thighs and the knees. These shorts, combined with blazers, blouses and jackets remain suitable for both formal and special events.Knee length shorts
: Knee length shorts with their clean cuts and impeccable structures have returned in the mainstream fashion. Perfect for when you don’t want to show much skin, knee-length shorts can be styled for a variety of looks like elegant, business chic, smart street style, and much more.
