If you’re in London (like me) you might have felt the temperature rise a teeny tiny bit over the past couple of days. Just enough for that ‘omg-I-have-nothing-no-wear-in-summer-‘ thought to creep in. You know the one? Well with that in mind let me introduce you to the boyfriend shorts that will make my summer. They are from the New Look Inspire range that’s doing pretty well in the plus size holiday style department at the moment.
First up the shorts are actually really true to size with a little stretch but not much. I’m wearing a 24 and I thought I might have to go to a 26 because they are quite thick looking (and you never know with jeans right!?) but the 24 was perfect. They are available in sizes 18 -26 and I guess the boyfriend design makes them a little roomier than normal. The button was a little stiff but other than that they were really great size wise.
They really are a trendy pair of shorts in my opinion. A great length for me so just above my knee (I’m just uner 5″6), a light denim colour that goes with everything from pastels to prints and a little worn effect which is always a fashionable statement. They are also super comfy which is obviously a bonus and sorry but it needs to be said, if I can wear shorts and feel good and forget about the dreaded chaffing of the thighs, I’d much rather do that in summer then fight with a summer skirt.
I didn’t get a picture of the back of the jeans (bad Hollie!) but the shorts have 2 large back pockets. I love pockets. Everything is better with pockets! I also wanted to show you this gorgeous necklace I got for 50p from the plus size clothes sale I went to recently. What a bargain and perfect for the summer.
Is your summer wardrobe starting to send you secret messages asking for a little revamp?
