If these A-list wardrobes are anything to go by cropped denim shorts are about to make a comeback. This time around they’re not reserved for festival or holiday wardrobes either – teamed with a chic tailored jacket and a pair of new season boots or clogs they’re perfect for that just polished enough, laid-back cool that Alexa works so well.
