It’s only March and for most of us our geysers have gone off, fan speeds have increased, ACs are getting serviced and refrigerators have water bottles again. I wonder what’ll happen in June.
Basically, the weather is getting hot and it calls for shorts. But in India, leaving your house with your knees showing is still frowned upon. How many of you are picturing awkward stares from neighbourhood aunties right now? A show of hands, please!
Metros, autos, and even cabs, I’ve tried all forms of public transportation to save myself the looks but I guess, some things don’t change. Well, to hell with them! Life is short, just like your shorts should be *wink*! Here are eight badass shorts we’re rooting for this season. It’s summers vs the bummers.
1. Spring Fling
Not just colour, but a colour overdose is what this Spring is about. And these ‘happy’ shorts are just what you need to beat the mid-week crisis. Pair it with a crisp white shirt to college and with a bralette for your vacay.
Price: ₹ 1,790. Buy it here.
2. Dramatic White
Whoever says white is boring doesn’t know how to wear it. These shorts with a ruffled hemline are all the drama your outfit needs this season. And, hey, another reason to wear white sneakers!
Price: ₹ 2,399. Buy it here.
3. Boho Chic Bow-Wow
We’ve seen tassels on our jewellery, on our bags, on our flats too, but never like this on our clothes. Wear with a basic tee and a longline shrug for Coachella-like #OOTDGoals! Transform into a boho babe with a headband (yes, they’re back!)
Price: ₹ 1,499. Buy it here.
4. The Paperbag Waist
There’s a new waistline in town. The inspiration behind it will leave you bizarre but more on that later. It’s called the paperbag waist. After making its way to our pants, even shorts are spotted with the upcoming trend. Pair it with a either a fitted or a cropped top for easy-breezy feels.
Price: ₹ 1,188. Buy it here.

Coloured denims are a thing now and we couldn’t be happier. These mini distressed shorts in pink are made for Wednesdays, aren’t they?

7. Black Always
A pair of black short shorts are a wardrobe must. And now that H&M is online (yay!) how can we possibly not have these basic babies delivered to our doorstep. Perfect for those ‘shorts and t-shirt’ kind of days.
