The Exact Length of Shorts Fashionable Girls Are Wearing Right Now
When it comes to fashion, Alexa Chung is always on point. The ever-stylish It girl was recently seen in New York City's vibrant Lower East Side, sporting what can only be described as my ideal urban safari outfit in various shades of green. It carries a hint of preppy charm, a touch of ruggedness, and is impeccably refined. The standout piece of Chung's ensemble, perhaps surprisingly, is a mid-length pair of shorts. They offer a refreshing alternative to the ultra-short style without straying too far into Bermuda territory. As I am not as leggy as some of my favorite style icons, these mid-thigh styles can be easily adjusted to flatter my petite figure. Clearly, years later, I am still influenced by Alexa Chung. So I searched for a selection of shorts that fit the Goldilocks criteria: not too short, not too long, just right. Continue scrolling to explore this curated selection in various fabrics, including classic chino, denim, and linen.

Massage rollers, anti-cellulite creams, rare trips to the gym – most women have tried everything, yet by evening their legs still throb, the swelling doesn't go away, and the skin loses its tone.
