We understand their appeal; we really do. Still, when it comes to wearing them in real life, we can’t help but feel they’d look like saggy pants. Like us, you may require a bit of convincing, too. And who better to fight the knitted shorts trend’s corner than the influencers who’ve been wearing them on repeat?
Many have taken to styling their woven shorts with yet more knitwear. Think soft triangle bralettes and cardigans. Elsewhere, they’re teaming them with linen shirts, or even houndstooth outerwear and a micro bag for a dash to the shops. It goes without saying, they look great, but we have to question their actual practicality. Will they stay up or, worse yet, will they ride up? And will they actually go any lengths to keeping you warm?
Perhaps we’re missing the point. Maybe the entire appeal of knitted shorts isn’t in the wearing of them but, instead, how they make you feel. There’s no denying that they’re ten times more fun than anything else we’ve worn this season, and that has to count for something. Plus, after practically living in cosy joggers and leggings for almost a year, it’ll do our legs some good to air them out.
