The combination of shorts and blazer is not yet a classic but soon should be. Together these flattering wardrobe staples cinch your waist and show off long legs, and are versatile enough for work or play.

Lax dress code? Lucky you! Keep this look office appropriate with longer shorts and clean, crisp neutrals.

Experiment with this season’s trendy brights with complementary colours for casual and chic weekend style.

Up the sex appeal for a night on the town with leather micro shorts and a metallic blazer.
