Marine Fringed Tweed Shorts

These high-waisted shorts with darts are influenced by both preppy style and rock 'n' roll. The black tweed and raw edging on the thighs mean they are neo-bourgeois-inspired, while the flared design from the mid-thigh flatters your figure and makes your legs look longer. The delicately pleated inset belt highlights the waist in a feminine and elegant way. Paired with a silky top in a bright colour, they shake things up with a touch of deceptively sensible glamour.
