If people can wear their fur lined boots (like UGGs) with denim shorts in summer heat, they can certainly style their shorts to be practical in freezing cold. And so it’s happening right now in NYC!
We see fashionistas here and there wearing their tiny distressed denim shorts over thick hosiery or leggings to brace for cold weather. The look is edgy, cool and layered, albeit it is not entirely universal and not so easy to pull off.
Naturally, there are plenty of celebrity examples. Jennifer Aniston posed for photographer Alexei Hay for September 2009 issue of Elle Magazine. She wore What Goes Around Comes Around (WGACA) Vintage Denim Shorts [sold out, was $95] over dark hosiery.

Katie Holmes experimented with the trend early enough. We first spotted Katie wearing PRPS Ladies Cuffed shorts [sold out, was $326] in Los Angeles in April 2009. Later, in May 2009, Katie layered her PRPS shorts with black cropped leggings.

Kate Moss, who is one of the biggest fans of shorts, won’t give up wearing her favorite garment in cold weather.

Did Kate Moss’ pal British singer Lily Allen learn a thing or two from Kate? Look, its same shorts – different day!
Denim shorts can be layered with patterned hosiery or better yet with dark or black monochrome tights or stockings. Below, we put together few links to the products that will help you to rock the shorts over hosiery trend this fall.
