Hot pants fill a pretty specific niche in your wardrobe: the smallest, sexiest denim item you can wear out in public without something layered over it. We love Topshop’s pink denim Moto hotpants, and their latest styling feature provides 5 ways to wear these babies in case you’re debating whether you can rock them this summer (hint: you can).

Swedish model & blogger Karin Bylund shows us a different way to rock acid wash shorts this summer—rather than frayed edges or a small cuff, she folds up her denim for a mega-cuff that creates a slimming effect on the legs (not that she needs it, but some of us do!) and a bit of a different, dramatic approach to summer dressing. We’re digging the wash, too.
