who wears short shorts

With the warm weather quickly approaching (although it doesn't exactly seem it on days like today), it is time to start looking at some serious spring styles. It will come as not surprise that shorts are a huge fashion statement this season, but not the super short cut-off Jessica Simpson style from last summer. (A trend which, might I add, seemed to fall apart faster than Nick and Jessica's marriage.)

This season the fashion world is looking at something a bit different. In a season where basically anything goes, and there is no one style that is so "out" it will make people cringe, shorts are quick to follow suite. Long, short, spandex, cargo, kakki, denim, board, Bermuda, cut-off and military shorts seem to headline for the season, but really, you simple can't go wrong.

Urban Outfitters does a great job at promoting this new style, showcasing numerous ways to wear different pairs on their website's homepage.

The season also promotes layers, so don't worry about incorporating them in even one of your winter outfits. Just be cautious not to get stuck in the cold weather with nothing BUT denim Bermuda shorts and a pair of ankle boots- don't forget that spring has not yet officially sprung.

So go shopping as the new styles are just budding for this summer's must-haves, and don't be afraid to try things on. Whichever style of shorts fits your body the best is the pair you should go with- because whatever it is, however crazy it may be, I can almost guarantee you'll see it strutting down the runway in an upcoming spring fashion show.
