I never thought I'd say this...

I am loving the draped shorts trend. I remember wearing culottes back in the day and I cringed at first when they came back around. Now the trend is morphing into some kind of tap pant/culotte hybrid and the more I see them the more I think I need a pair for my own closet.

These Tibi ruffle shorts are feminine and versatile. I'd wear these with a tank top and sandals during the day and at night I'd pair them with a poof-sleeve blouse and sky-high heels. At $240 they aren't the cheapest pair you can buy but how can you argue with silk crepe de chine?


These shorts have a similar look to the Tibi pair but at a much friendlier price. Personally, I'm not crazy about shelling out $70 for polyester, but these are still very cute.


Must...have...these...shorts...SOLD OUT?! To the mall, post haste!


Yes, these are polyester but they are under $50 so I can live with it.


Last but not least, a denim option. How cute are these? At $30 they are even cuter!

What are your thoughts on draped shorts? Hard to wear or hard to pass up?
