The skimpy denim cut-offs were made famous by Catherine Bach on hit Eighties TV show The Dukes Of Hazzard.

Model Jo Price, 50, says: “I like to wear shorts but mainly for the beach and pottering around in the warm weather.

“For me to wear a really short pair they would have to fit right, for me mid-length is the best as they can look really smart.”

Stylist Abby McHale scours the High Street for the best offerings that will suit you at any age.

LADIES WHO LUNCH

Blouse, £18, Peacocks; shorts, £60, Jigsaw; shoes, £39.99, Pull and Bear; bag, £26, Next

CREAM denim shorts are a great introduction for those who may not have tried this style before as they can be dressed up or down.

Jo says: “I love the colour and the design is between smart and casual, the elasticated waistband is also handy and they feel like a good fit.”

FESTIVAL FASHION

Crochet top, £79, Warehouse; T-shirt, £3.99, H&M; shorts, £36, River Island; boots, £34.99, Deichmann; bag, £9, Primark

IF you want to cover a bit more of your leg then longer denim bermuda-style shorts like these are a great option. Pair with boots and crochet top for the perfect, easy go-to festival look.

Jo says: “The length on these is really cool and they are really comfortable and true to size.”

DENIM shorts don’t have to be blue, these burnt orange shorts scream summer and the turn up-style edge are great at balancing out your proportions.

HEAD to the beach in a pair of denim shorts and you can’t go wrong and the frayed detailing at the bottom adds an extra bit of oomph.

Jo says: “For a pair of cut-off shorts these are really comfortable and don’t feel really short and are a really good shape too.”

Blazer, £50; cami top, £20, both River Island; shorts, £45, Warehouse; heels, £59; Oasis; bag, £26, Next; earrings, £4, Peacocks; necklace, £24.99, Pilgrim

DENIM shorts aren’t just a casual look, with a black pair instantly making an outfit more chic. Pair them with a blazer to feel slightly more covered and heels elongate your legs.

Jo says: “I like these with a pair of heels. It’s different, and the blazer adds a smart edge.”
