VALENTINO

High-rise wool and silk-blend shorts

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 high-rise silhouette falling to a thigh-skimming length. Take your styling cues from the runway and slip them on with a sheer voluminous blouse and vertiginous heels.
