Short Shorts

Forget the chicken fillets, leave your wonderbras at home, this summer all eyes are on the pert and peachy booty, and what better way to showcase a pilates-honed bum than with a pair of teeny tiny cut-off shorts?

Our favourite celebrities have been racing ahead of summer’s most smoking trend by donning denims that are more abbreviated than ever before: see Kate Bosworth, whose hem is so high her pockets poke out beneath, or the always sassy Rihanna whose shorts are cut to reveal a flash of that splendid behind. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley shows miles of supermodel leg in her pretty flower-embellished ones, and Emma Watson and Zoe Kravitz go down the high waisted route – perfect for pairing with a cropped top.

Kristen Stewart draws admiring glances for her maroon choice – whether she was hoping for that kind of attention fixed on her derriere or not we can’t tell, but one thing is sure – wear a pair of tiny shorts like this and nobody’s going to be looking at your shoes. The one accompaniment you can’t go without? Lots of squats.
