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.

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.
