Analyzing the new spring summer collections of clothes is impossible not to notice that the leading positions occupy the knee-length shorts. Moreover, the designers did not stop too much on a certain length. You can opt for shorts the length of which do not reach the knees and designs which basically comes down to the ankle.

Speaking of these, we must not forget that they are the very universality, practicality and classic, so it is not surprising that the main colors designers have opted for are gray, white, black and beige.

Wide-leg shorts and culottes
A great popularity has also wide-leg shorts (knickers) and A-flared models that resemble by shape a skirt. We know that initially, these garments were part exclusively of the male wardrobe, and only later they began to be worn by women as well.

Example of such shorts designs can be seen and admired in Emporio Armani, Emanuel Ungaro, Fendi, Jason Wu, Ji Oh, Les Copains, Emilia Wickstead, Temperley London clothing lines.

Look how original plastic black shorts or blue cellophane designs look! We can say with confidence that these legs will definitely attract eyes of others.
