LONDON, June 20 — As the mercury rises, it's time to make way for summer wardrobe staples such as lightweight dresses, mini, midi and maxi skirts, and shorts. Shorts, in fact, are set to be a fashion must-have this season, landing in a host of fabrics.

For some fashion inspiration, check out Joans Smalls, Chiara Ferragni and Josephine Skriver, who've already been seen sporting the season's hottest styles.

Leather for Chiara Ferragni

The Italian influencer and entrepreneur — who shares looks every day with her 16.8 million Instagram followers — picked a pair of black leather shorts for a chic and casual style. Ideal for summer, these shorts have a high waist and a relatively loose cut, with a wide belt nonchalantly tied for a laid-back vibe.

Chiara plays with contrasts, matching the shorts with a white asymmetric crop top, and accessorises the look with a Chanel cross-body bag in candy-bright colours.

Ripped denim for Josephine Skriver

The Danish model Josephine Skriver rocks a summer look par excellence, perfect for the beach or by the pool. Here, the model matches a leopard-print bikini top — one of the season's hottest must-haves — with high-waist denim micro shorts.

Bonus points for the ripped-effect denim, which is bang on trend. As for accessories, the model keeps it simple with a single bracelet. — AFP-Relaxnews
