How to wear the long shorts trend taking over New York Fashion Week

While New York’s long, warm summers mean that it’s still bare-leg season in the Big Apple, there is only one way to flash the last of your holiday glow this September – according to NYFW showgoers – and that’s with a below-the-knee short.

What’s all the fuss about?

Ever since Bottega Veneta dropped their sold-out leather Bermudas as part of the spring/summer 2019 collection, fashion editors have been obsessed with the unlikely glamour of baggy, unisex shorts. Essentially, these are what the industry would refer to as a ‘unicorn’ – an achingly on-point luxury fashion piece which, on the street, looks like you haven’t tried hard. Let’s also not forget that longline shorts – we’ve similarly spied of leg-skimming tailored pedal pushers (thank you Prada spring/summer 2019 for the inspiration) – are immensely flattering. Consider these the autumnal styling update for the barely-there sandals you invested in this time last year.

Okay, who’s wearing these longline shorts?

Everyone – but MyTheresa’s buying director Tiffany Hsu stands out, with capri pant suiting (note the waist-cinching leather belt); while Dutch influencer Linda Tol pairs her toffee-hued Bermudas with a trench coat, for elegantly contrasting hemlines.

How do they style it?

Think upscale, rather than skater. Your most straight-forward cue comes from Moda Operandi’s fashion director Lisa Aiken, who wears her capacious leather Bermudas with a relaxed white shirt and heavy-duty chain necklace. If you’re more about the pedal pusher, our advice is to dust off another Fifties classic, the prim cardigan: the retro pairing is fast becoming fashion month’s preferred street-style look.
