Summer Staple: Denim Shorts from Gap

Denim shorts are most definitely a Summer staple and Gap have a fantastic selection of them at the moment.

I particularly like these Gap 1969 destroyed sexy boyfriend shorts.  The ripped detail makes them a bit edgy, almost with a rock-chick vibe!  They will go with anything, so can be worn casually with a vintage t-shirt and sandals  in the day or dressed up with a sparkly top and heels for night.  They are perfect festival and beach wear too.  If the ripped look doesn't suit, there are non-ripped versions too in different colours.

This week with Grazia magazine, which is only £1 this week, there's 30% off at Gap with a code inside - so definitely worth getting if you're planning on shopping online or in-store at Gap!  And, of course, if you miss this offer, there's always the 15% off if you sign up for their emails.

The Low Down: Printed Skinny Khaki Trousers from Gap

Fun prints and patterns are everywhere this season and cropped, cotton trousers are a great example of this trend.  They are perfect for the changeable Spring weather and look fantastic!  I would team them with a plain, sleeveless blouse and some flat pumps for effortless daytime chic.

Gap have a really great selection of these 'mini skimmer khakis' on sale at present in a range of contemporary prints.  My favourite is this blue and white chevron pattern which is on-trend but subtle.  Mainly cotton, with a bit of elastane for stretch, they will allow for coolness in all senses of the word!  Available in sizes 4 - 18, they have been reduced from £34.95 to £16.99 in certain sizes and patterns.
