Zendaya Knows the Exact Shorts Length to Wear This Spring

As much as it pains me to admit it, I think my days of wearing short shorts are over. I will, however, reflect fondly on my many trips to buy them at American Eagle in high school. Not only do they practically guarantee chafing, but they’re not exactly made for sitting in Ubers in 85-degree heat. Plus, as a 30-something, I feel like short shorts only feel right at the beach—and I don't spend much time at the beach! Therefore, I'm excited to explore other length options this spring and summer.

Enter Zendaya. After the Oscars and ahead of her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in Los Angeles this week, the (supposedly) newly married actress wore a Moschino blazer, blouse, and shorts along with white Christian Louboutin heels. What's that I see? Are Zendaya's knees fully covered by her shorts? Praise be! Her baggy, long shorts are so cool and practical. Zendaya's pair sits just below her navel, but you can't go wrong with either high-rise or low-rise Bermuda shorts right now. Scroll down to shop the trend for yourself.
