Putting it together:
- The shorts should fit loosely, sitting at your hips and hitting just above your knee—so shop for them in the men's department (women's styles tend to be too narrow). Add a vintagey, weathered leather belt to ensure a perfect fit.
- Voluminous tops in girly fabrics like eyelet or colored silk will give this look a nice balance. For an even dressier effect, try a drapey, sexy tank.
- Make the most of your legs by wearing heels. Pick tough, strappy styles in natural colors like chocolate brown or cognac—nothing too ladylike or delicate.
