While those will always be in style, we've seen a recent spike in popularity when it comes to biker shorts and Bermudas. Yup, that to-the-knee silhouette is back, and we won't leave you hanging when it comes to styling advice. All of the shorts here (even your distressed jeans!) should be worn with proportional pieces that are true to your taste, and we're breaking down the basics as we introduce you to each category. Whether you're a tomboy who's all about the resurgence of the nylon gym short or someone who's inspired by all things vintage, and you love the paper bag look, there are outfit ideas and shopping options for you here. We've even come up with a few challenges for you to dabble in. Like, why not attempt to wear your go-to cycling class bottoms with a pair of kitten heel sandals? It's the Summer, so have fun with your look and don't just stick to dresses and skirts when there's a wide world of shorts out there for you to experiment with.

It's up to you to find the right pair for your shape, the proper length, and some inspired styling, which will change from year to year. Your pick can be lived-in and loose with distress, cuffed like Iskra Lawrences below, or bright white for pairing with sophisticated blazers and boots.

But now it seems like the comfortable stretch bottoms come in every colour and print under the sun. While it's easy to keep things playful and sporty when you're in biker shorts, challenge yourself to jazz these up with a blazer or a pair of heeled mules instead of your sneakers.

You can draw attention to the knee-length silhouette with the help of strappy shoes or quirky socks. Our biggest advice is to keep things proportional. If your shorts are on the longer side, try a romantic, fitted shirt or crop top, and if your shorts are relaxed, turn up the surfer vibes and tuck an island button-down into the waistband.

The idea is to keep your look professional, but fresh. Even if you're in standard pinstripes, you can still pile on the jewellery and rock boots instead of an expected pump. Push up the sleeves of your matching blazer to show your shorts off a little more, especially if you love a leggy moment.

Well, that day has come. This Summer, those surfer vibes also come by way of baggy shorts that you can feel comfortable dressing up with blazers. If you like something a little more structured, there are plenty of imitation leather board shorts with a drawstring to help you achieve the same look. Either way, you'll feel refreshed in these light, movable bottoms.

You can keep things vintage inspired with neutral colours, kitten heels, and a leather purse, or work with a breezy blouse and espadrilles on holiday.
