The perfect denim shorts

Coco Chanel once said: "Fashion fades, only style remains the same."

These profound words strikes a cord with many a female, who with determination search for that perfect red lip, those denim jeans that fit like a glove and the little black dress that will serve as a go-to outfit for various events on their social calendar.

As time passes, trends really do fade, (how quick did we see the colour blocking phase explode then disappear on the fashion radar?) but certain items will remain a clear necessity in our wardrobe.

While at first it may have been classified a trend, the denim shorts have survived through fashion adversity and has become a must-have for many of those going for a chic look.

But if you're searching for a perfect pair (one that can look grungy, classy or casual depending how you style and accessorize your look) the going is tough on the online shopping world.

Sizes run out, the fit is different to what's pictured or after a few washes the denim fades.

Alas my fashion lovers, I can't help much with this. But what I can do is show you some lovely finds I have stumbled upon that may help you along your path to finding the perfect denim shorts.

High-waisted @ Miss Selfridge:


This pair of shorts from Miss Selfridge will be a winter and summer winner. The good thing about Miss Selfridge is it caters to petite sisters like myself by stocking size 4. Their quality items makes up for the steeper price tags. If you're not from the UK though, I do warn that at times their shipping takes a bit longer than online retail UK giant ASOS... but if you're looking for an exclusive item that you won't see walking down the street; it's probably worth it.

Boho chic @ The Iconic:


The Iconic is an Australian online apparel store which offers a serious selection of brands and styles. But I won't lie to you, their selection of denim shorts is scarce. Even worse if you're looking for a petite size. But where they lack in selection, they make up for in quality. This pair of Boho style shorts are cute and would add a bit of quirk to any outfit.

Cute crochet @ Topshop:


For a pair of cute summery shorts (which could easily be turned into winter shorts) head down to Topshop online or in-store. Topshop has a great range to choose from at hip-pocket friendly prices. Think $50+ mark. Again, shipping does take a bit longer than usual because I think they source their items from their UK stocks. So if you're not from the UK bear this in mind if you're ordering online.

BONUS, Ebay find:


Distressed denim? Check. High Waisted? Check? Low price? Check. It's amazing what you can find on Ebay if you know where to search. These shorts (for a gobsmacking AUD $22.95) are from an Australian seller which ships internationally. My tip for the day, at the risk of sounding a little bit cliché; Get on it!
