Winter shorts replacing the mini

I whole-heartedly support the reprise of short shorts with thick black tights. It seems like a trend that's been around forever but recently has become slightly more popular. Gwen Stefani wore some to the Waverly Inn in New York City and Kate Bosworth was spotted sporting the style at the Fendi show on the Great Wall of China. I have also been known to wear rather short shorts with extra thick black tights and my friends have never stopped loving them.

They're so much easier to wear than a skirt, you skip the risk of revealing more than you intended. I think you have to be careful not to wear them too short (à la Sienna at the Factory Girl premiere) and they must be worn with thick tights (especially if your legs are as lily white as mine).

Here are a few of the best pairs currently available on the High Street. See after the jump for details...

Sequined mini shorts, Topshop: £35 | Grey wool shorts, Uniqlo: £14.99 | Black with gold belt, Dorothy Perkins: £12 | Denim high waisted, FCUK: £50

This is one trend I just cannot get into. Something about tights with shorts just turns me off so much!

Could you please post some pictures where this trend has been done well... or point me in the direction of some links? I'd love to see how the look could be structured. I have shorts... I have tights... but I have no idea how to wear them, and need some ideas!
