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 with some stretch, they’re cut to a high-rise silhouette falling to a thigh-skimming length. Take your styling cues from the runway and slip them on with an oversized shirt and chunky ankle boots.
