If bicycle shorts are still enjoying the resurgence they received last summer (that's right friends, we're stuck with the trend for at least one more season— although who am I kidding, I love it), then the newest spring/summer trend hitting the scene is the long, denim short (or bermuda shorts). Love 'em or hate 'em, this is the reality we are currently living in. If you fall under the latter category, however, consider this: you only need to shave half as much leg when wearing them (think of all the time you'll save!), and you'll never, ever need to worry about exposing anything you'd rather remain hidden from plain sight... bending over during the warmer months never felt so freeing. 

Not convinced yet? Let's discuss the styling options. You can go all crop-top-docs-and-a-preppy-blazer like I did to pretend you're some kind of 90s French girl (is it working?), keep it casual with a neon sweatshirt and sneakers (my next vision for these shorts) or dress them up with heels, a chain belt and a satin top for a night out. See what I mean? Versatile. Also crucial to remember here— comfortable. These shorts really do have it all.
