One item that's been making an appearance in all the major stores are - not surprisingly - denim shorts. From local brands like Folded and Hung to the fast fashion names like Mango - shorts are definitely the story for this season.
Even in Greenhills, there is no shortage of shorts. I think there were more than 20 stalls selling shorts of different incarnations, and the best of the lot were in this stall called Raspberry.
The first pair is this Aeropostale overrun which is a nod to the "boyfriend" trend that seems to be all over Greenhills these days. The length is just right - not too skanky and not too puruntong - and the cuffs are a nice touch. The belt loops are big enough to accommodate a guy's belt to complete the "boyfriend" look. This is the type of shorts that can shift from a plain white tee to a floral blouse to a chambray shirt to a blazer.
Then there's this pair from an unknown Korean sounding brand. It's got most of the positive traits of the above mentioned pair, but it's made of softer denim which makes it lighter and cooler. And given the temperatures we're having, lighter and cooler are definitely the order of the day.
There's a bit of discrimination in Greenhills, though. They're loaded with shorts for girls, but when I asked about shorts for guys, they didn't have any. I've been looking for a new pair of shorts since my Abercrombie cargo shorts are already way, way overused. I went to Structure and they also didn't have denim shorts for guys there.
Looks like finding shorts for myself won't be as easy as finding them for my sisters. Now that's another story.
