While the weather this summer might not be the best, that doesn’t mean we can’t start planning for that three-day heatwave that will inevitably arrive at some point over the next few months… right? Right!
No matter if you’re planning a summer staycation or an exotic holiday abroad, a fabulous pair of shorts is an essential for every summer wardrobe.
If you’ve been keeping on top of the style trends lately, then you might have noticed that many of the shorts you’ll find in the shops these days are somewhat lacking in the bum cheek area. While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with these cute short-shorts, sometimes you just want to walk outside and not have to think about the bottom of your bum peeking through while you’re saying hello to the neighbours.
That’s why we’ve scoured the internet and found five pairs of stylish shorts that are sure to keep your bum covered all summer long!
