The Surprisingly Chic Short Shorts We Recently Discovered in Cannes.
Short shorts often receive negative attention, likely due to the immediate association with hot pants and denim cutoffs, neither of which are particularly sophisticated or easy to wear. While hot pants can be fun and cutoffs offer convenience, they don't quite exude polish. However, not all short shorts are the same, and there is at least one style that defies the unfavorable perceptions commonly associated with this category of bottoms. If you haven't guessed, I'm talking about drawstring shorts, especially those crafted from linen and poplin. And it’s official: chic short shorts have now been approved for the Cannes Film Festival.
The Cannes Film Festival has captured our attention this past week, showcasing street style and red carpet fashion as prominent figures in the fashion and film industries gather on the French Riviera. Notable attendees include Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal, while Jennifer Lawrence and Natalie Portman have opted for Dior, and Bella Hadid has favored both new and vintage Saint Laurent looks. Another standout is Daisy Edgar-Jones, who was seen arriving in a Gucci poplin ensemble featuring the aforementioned luxurious short shorts trend.
Daisy, known for her role in On Swift Horses, chose to rewear the embroidered white cotton shirt and matching drawstring shorts she previously donned in Gucci's recent Lido campaign. She completed her breezy, upscale outfit with strappy white heeled sandals, a straw top-handle Gucci bag, and sunglasses. Edgar-Jones’s choice of short shorts is simple and easy yet chic and exudes an expensive look, meeting all the criteria that other tiny bottoms often miss. Follow her example and shop the shorts trend below.

How fashionable women in New York are styling drawstring shorts: Shay mirrored Edgar-Jones's style, pairing her white drawstring shorts with a flowy white blouse. She added a splash of color with a burgundy mini tote. Courtney Grow embraced color even more, teaming her white drawstring shorts with a sporty red anorak and popular mesh sock flats from The Row.
