We already know that
REDValentino is a pro at fashioning fabulous concoctions from taffeta and tulle, but the Italian label proves its hand is just as deft when it comes to quieter – but no less polished – styles like these shorts. Cut from sleek cotton-poplin with a hint of stretch to it, they're shaped to a relaxed, high-rise fit and pressed with neat pleats, making them fit for dressier occasions, too. We'd add heels and one of the label's puff-sleeved blouses.
