words on jorts
remember when everyone had a Hollister denim skirt and it was the most coveted and versatile piece in your seventh grade wardrobe? So do we. It was right after the sticky-heart-shaped-body-crystals-for-dance-parties phase and right before the double Lacoste phase and we can all agree there have been better documented days in our fashion histories, which is why we've been a little sad to see the reemergence of this tattered look with the jean shorts fad of late.
Mostly, we see girls pretty much the same age we were when it was popular running around with some bottom butt cleavage hanging out and maybe it's an evergreen trend for the young teen (ugh) but it seems like it's making a bigger stamp too.
What happened to the projections of a sleeker, chicer young woman? What about the tailored, polished projections for 2012? Here's to hoping they pop up for 2013 and we outgrow sloppy jorts once and for all.
A good jort on the other hand, like this Isabel Marant look, will always be welcome in sunny SoFla. We get it, it's hot. So's this chick. Take a style cue and recreate this Almost Famous appropriate look with a print on print jort that leaves the legs a little room to breathe and falls a few inches below the crotch hem.
