Never Short on Style
Seems we've got a touch of the Bollywood fever—suddenly, crazy-patterned sari shorts look good enough to make us stop wearing cut-offs. (Welllll, almost.)
New on the shelves at Holt Renfrew, these brill silk shorts are made in collaboration with the reworked-vintage boutique Preloved. They're miles away from patchworked khaki, though, and thank the gods for that. Sourced from local clothing recyclers in the GTA, the variegated and multi-ethnic prints (think ikat, think paisley) differ from short to short and store to store. Depending on your body/style, wear them at the natural waist or lower, to emphasize hips in—let's just celebrate stereotypes here—a belly-dancing kinda way. —Sarah Nicole Prickett
