I’ve been noticing a trend around Tokyo that has me envious — if only because I’m not sure I could pull it off. As the cooler weather inches in, I’m seeing boots, flat and to the knee with buckle detail (equestrian, very chic) worn with denim knee-length shorts.
Not just any old shorts, but lean, cropped jeans that finish just above the knee. They are a stylish alternative to either the classic capri or full-length jeans, certainly while it’s warmer and you can layer with camis or cotton shirts. It’s also a look which wears well with a tailored cotton jacket or a linen smock-style shirt.
Many jeans labels do a version of this style and, providing you are proportionally neat and lean toward a smaller build, I think this is very cute.
In fact the whole city shorts look is immensely popular; why not try a more tailored pair of linen or woolmix shorts to wear with tights and pumps or platforms? This works for a way more formal look than I would need, but gorgeous with the right boxier jacket and/or tailored shirt.
