The Long Short is a strange beast. Part board short, part culottes, part trousers. They are the kind of piece that seems hard to wear but actually you will find them so comfortable and that they go with loads of pieces you already had. I love them with a chunky knit or a sweatshirt, but they also work well with shirt or  a cropped jersey top. They also work really well as evening wear.  To me it’s a very grown up look not a trend, I’ve had one pair for ten years and still wear them.
