H&M Shorts.

I normally prefer easy shorts to fussy skirts, but comfy cut-offs will only take a girl so far. Enter H&M’s brand-spanking-hot shorts [hm.com for stores], and even non-girly girls can go the distance.

A higher waist offers the flirtatious sophistication your denim blues lack while the flashy acetate and viscose material solidifies the pair as after-dark attire fit to rival any A-line, bubble, shift or wrap. Velvety red and creamy pink trim supplies interest to the embellished shorts that is edgily trendy, given the color combo’s traditionally clashing nature, and the retro vibe ensures you’ll still radiate the sweet [if not innocent] charm skirts and dresses typically convey.
