When that hot sultry summer arrives we reach for those shorts of all kinds, sizes and materials. Are shorts the only option?

Wonder what to do for the occasions when shorts are not appropriate? So the fashionista looks for alternatives which would serve here well without denting her style. There are three styles which keep the style quotient high.

Harem pants, are an exotic option, covers the thundering thighs and skinny legs to beautiful legs, hanging from the waist in elegant style. Can be worn with tunics, vests, waist length tees, halter tops – printed or solids – whatever your creativity invents. They are generally crushed cotton but can be silk, hemp and other environmentally friendly material. They are an excellent Summer wear as they are roomy provide proper ventilation. They come in all colors imaginable and easy on the pocket too. To dress the feet gladiator high heels, flat ballerina shoes, Indian and Egyptian shoes call Mojaris will add great oriental flavor to your outfit. The jewelry should be large but minimal – just a large neck piece, earrings or armlet on a sleeveless tunic will flash you up!

Jodhpurs are another immortal of fashion, they are voluminous yet the skinny look but here please make sure your are leggy and you are in perfect shape, as they are voluminous about the thighs and base but get tighter or skinny towards the ankles. Its accentuates the fat or flabbies – so please avoid it if not in shape. They used to be worn with embellished jackets – but they also look great with simple buttoned down shirts, t-shirts, tops, tanks with pumps block heels, etc. Doesn’t everything one wear look good when in great shape. Jodhpurs are generally khaki or beige in color so wearing a contrasting color would look great on it.
