Multiple outlets report that celebrity stylist Angie Smith recommends styling this summer’s shorts trend in a way that works “at any age.” The coverage focuses on a shift away from shorter, denim “hotpants” styles associated with more revealing coverage. Sources say those “tiny, denim hotpants” are out, while a different category of shorts—described as a “smart, city-short” look—has returned. The articles link the renewed popularity of this style to earlier fashion cycles, with one account noting it was prominent around the early 2010s when the stylist began working. Overall, the reporting frames the trend as favoring a more polished, urban-appropriate silhouette rather than a highly exposed style. The sources present the advice as general fashion guidance attributed to Smith, emphasizing that the recommended approach can be adapted across different ages.
