suited short.

Traditional party attire appears to have taken a twist. Most fashion-forward stars have started to ditch the glitzy dresses, worked on their already slender pins and slinked into stylish cocktail shorts. More often than not paired with a crisp blazer and some dazzling accessories, a modern take on YSL effortless girl-meets-boy vibe is hot stuff. Contrasting tailored looks paired with easy relaxed loose hair and natural make-up, this is evening wear with a considerable difference. Looks like the fan tan needs to be bought in abundance as we embrace the cocktail shorts and modernise wardrobe staples channelling a polished, simple yet seemingly thought expensive look...
