JORTS ARE (STILL) TRENDING – HERE'S HOW TO STYLE THEM

One summer colour that isn't going anywhere anytime soon is butter yellow – plus, the shade is a cute contrast to classic faded or mid-blue jorts. Tap into it by styling your jorts with a ribbed vest and you're ready for all your summer plans: festivals, brunches and afternoons in the park. Cement the look with simple flip flops and summer’s number one accessory: sunglasses.

For an 'fit that gives off-duty cool girl, choose Bermudas. These baggy jorts are perfect for casual plans, but can just as easily be taken from day to night with thong kitten heels or mules. Balance out the loose fit with a slimline top and opt for low-profile trainers like PUMA's Speedcat Ballet Novas in a complimentary colour palette. Any jewellery will complete the look – this silver bangle will pull it together (see how it matches the trainers' metallic accents) but fit the off-duty vibe too.

Nothing says 'holiday' quite like a fresh white pair of jorts. They work for day and evening, which means less packing and more room in your suitcase for souvenirs. For the perfect golden-hour outfit, try adding some colour with your top. Style the look with sandals – a flat thong pair give comfort and cool factor – and statement jewellery.

The rule of thumb when you’re styling statement pieces is to keep the rest of your look simple. These striped jorts come in standout shades of biqsue and brick-red, so keep the rest of the outfit low key with block colours. Low key doesn’t have to mean boring, though – Lauren by Ralph Lauren's denim shoulder bag gives the look a fun vibe without overwhelming it.

The definition of jorts may be 'jean shorts', but if adidas decides to bring out a sporty style, we’re going to sit up and pay attention. You can go full track-and-field mode with this standout snake-print pair by wearing them with a classic tee and a track jacket – or you can add a little high-low asymmetry with a feminine top, as we have with this knitted style. Athletic accessories like a stretchy hairband will accentuate the look.
