Just in time for Coachella, these shorts will show just the right amount of leg if you want to swap out your regular cutoffs and are looking for a little more coverage. The fashion set has already taken claim to the trend, and it’s easy to see why: Edgy and comfortable, the longer shorts can juxtapose any outfit regardless of what you wear—you’ll be the coolest girl in the room.
