BLOG: 19 pairs of shorts that aren't super short denim cutoffs.

Dear Nicky, where can I buy denim shorts that won’t show off my bum cheeks? Thanks, Melissa.

Ah Melissa, you’ve nailed the number one issue facing women over the age of 25 today. Well, you know, aside from body image, politics, housing affordability, catfishing, avoiding dates like this and THIS, the cost of living, and the holy grail of beauty: flawless skin (you guys? Stop looking, it’s here).

But seriously, what’s with all the short-shorts? When did denim cutoffs begin to resemble underwear? Where is all the fabric hiding out? When did it become acceptable to show one’s bum cheeks in public? And how old do I feel right now?

Alas, this season’s hemlines are climbing higher up the leg than ever before. Thanks to celebrities like Miley Cyrus, Rihanna and Cara Delevingne taking their ‘shorts’ to a whole new level bum cheeks have now become the new black.
 But don’t despair, we’ve hunted down 19 pairs of shorts that will keep your underbutt and modesty in check.
