If Pierpaolo Piccioli’s latest collection for
Valentino is anything to go by, it’s time to forget the notion that tailoring is limited to suits, blazers and trousers – or the office for that matter. The proof? These shorts. Whipped up in a blend of wool and silk, they’re cut to a wide boxy silhouette and topped with a self-tie belt. Take your styling cues from the runway and slip them on with a sheer voluminous blouse and vertiginous heels.
