Blooms of Boyfriend Shorts for Spring

We could have guessed that after a winter long of boyfriend jeans, spring would bloom the 'boyfriend shorts' trend! The look is meant to be baggier and loose which means, if you've shred some pounds and still have old denim laying around, pull out your fabric scissors and cut to the trend!

True Religion's Riley Boyfriend Fit in their River Boat wash is one of my favorite boyfriend looks for the spring.

Joe's Jeans Loose Rolled style is rugged and distressed, just like your boyfriends jeans! 

Ann Taylor LOFT has a great boyfriend short that I like to consider "loosely feminine." Interpretation: just enough slouchy boyfriend look without going too off course from your feminine style.  

Target makes the trend oh-so-affordable with their Mossimo style in a vintage wash. For only $19.99, you won't even blink to give this look a try!

Jean Paul Gaultier for Target

Leading couture designers continue to trinkle their way down into quick-fashion ready-to-wear houses by offering more economical and affordable lines for the average consumer. Roberto Cavalli and Jimmy Choo designed lines for H&M, and Zac Posen is nearing his launch of affordable sportswear under the name Z Spoke.


Target's, 'Target Boutique' famously does the same. We have seen fashion flashes at Target from Isaac Mizrahi, Stephen Sprouse (popular for making Louis Vuitton's graffiti prints famous), Mossimo Giannulli, and Cynthia Rowley.  Now, French Haute Couture designer, Jean Paul Gaultier, joins the list of icons this season with his interpretation of wallet-friendly fashion.

 

Looks include belted trenches, leather moto jackets, swimwear, printed dresses. 

Sport a funkier style with tattooed leggings and draped tops. 

Flirty Rebel? Perhaps. With the combination of a Spanish sundress and tattoed sleeves, you could say just that!
