Wearable Fashion Trends 2: Sporty Chic

Shorts are making the move from casual day to everyday with tailored designs. Skip the flip-flops and try wedges for a polished look. Shorts aren't just for the beach anymore.

Runway: Shorts are having their moment in the fashion spotlight this season. But these are not the casual styles you normally reserve for the gym or beach. Nor are they the denim Daisy Dukes that Jessica Simpson was sporting in her steamy "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" music video. Made from luxe linens, crisp cottons and silk-lined wools, these shorts are turning up at parties, restaurants and even offices. See the stars that have recently favored this leg-baring trend..

Reality: Satisfying a sporty side was shorts in any length imaginable. Depending on the coverage you want, there's short shorts, skinny long shorts, cropped pants, ankle pants and a shortened version of the cargo pant. The most popular was the modern version of Bermuda shorts. They are this season's perfect replacement to pants. Ending right at the knee they quickly replaced cropped pants in popularity." (Fontera)
