I’ve always loved tap shorts because they’re comprised of elements I love: good fabric, comfort, and unique style.
It’s hard to wear them, though, and not feel like a five year old getting ready to go to bed. So comfy! They’re loose and sit on your natural waist, so they require very little fussing or adjusting. The flat front is very flattering (better than pleats) and they look just as good with bare legs as they do with tights.
Perfect shorts? Probably. They can be used in so many different ways – here are two of my current favorite pairs, dressed up and down! (Everything is under $50 – woohoo!)
