Sexy Shorts: H&M Red High-Waisters

I ADORE short shorts. Love 'em. Believe it or not, they flatter almost everyone, as long as you pick the right size, stay well away from hot pants (dancers only) and make sure you do the sit down test before buying so there's no fabric strain on the thighs.

I am a huge fan of these H&M cotton ones. Yes, they look almost terrifyingly brief, but they provide excellent coverage, they're sufficiently loose around the leg to allow for comfy sitting and a bit of swagger, and the high waist makes the most of every shape while conveniently covering up whatever you had for lunch.

They come in navy blue as well, but I love this red. Team them with a low-key vest or t-shirt, chuck a jumper in your bag for later and you're ready to go. Mmm. Get involved.
