1. Topshop Moto Acid Pink Cycling Shorts

Price: $68.00 at us.topshop.com
It’s all about coloured denim this year. Everywhere you look, designers are embracing a rainbow of denim colours. These ones come in a bright acid pink colour and have a slim leg with frayed trims. These longer length shorts from Topshop take their cue from the popular Christopher Kane ones, but are a much more affordable alternative.

2. J Brand Denim Stretch Denim Shorts

Price: $170.00 at net-a-porter.com
Finding the right pair of denim shorts can be quite a mission, and longer length styles are perfect for working a casual look. These ones are made from faded stretch denim and feature five pocket detailing and rolled cuffs. These shorts would look great worn with a basic white t-shirt and leather sandals.

3. Dorothy Perkins Aqua Chino Knee Shorts

Price: $35.00 at us.dorothyperkins.com
Summer is all about dressing in colour, and these longer length shorts are a stylish choice. They come in an on-trend aqua colour and have a fuss-free design. Wear them with a loose button-up blouse and bejewelled sandals for a chic daytime look.

4. Topshop Longline Bermuda Shorts

Price: $64.00 at us.topshop.com
Basic black shorts are a staple for any wardrobe. Choose one in a longer length style like these Topshop shorts. They are baggy throughout the leg and feature pleating at the front. Wear these with a basic singlet and wedge heels for an effortlessly stylish look.

5. Junya Watanabe Asymmetric Twill Shorts

Price: $445.00 at net-a-porter.com
These longer length shorts have a very contemporary and fashion-forward design. I wouldn’t expect anything less from a designer such as Junya Watanabe. What really sets these black shorts apart is their asymmetric hem. Emphasise the design of these shorts with a statement top and shoes.

6. Topshop Moto Cyan Stripe Cycling Shorts

Price: $64.00 at us.topshop.com
Stripes never go out of fashion. Incorporate them into your look this summer in new ways such as these striped shorts. These longer length shorts have a slim fitting design and feature a blue and white striped pattern. They’d look great teamed with a camel coloured t-shirt and strappy leather sandals.

7. 3.1 Phillip Lim Drawstring Leather Shorts

Price: $795.00 at lagarconne.com
You wouldn’t usually expect leather to be used when making longer length shorts but these hit the mark. They have a lambskin waistband and have side seam zippers. They’d be perfect for working a relaxed, boyish silhouette. Pity these stylish longer length shorts are way out of my price range.

There are a range of different styles of longer length shorts to choose from this summer. Denim is always a popular choice, but other fabrics such as leather give the humble short a contemporary twist. What do you think of the longer length short and is it something you’ll be wearing this season?
