I love knitting cables, but there are only so many thick, cable-y sweaters one can wear. Bombshell Shorts takes those same addictive, challenging cables and puts them in a new place – on your booty! A covered elastic waistband means they’re comfy, but belt loops keep you classy. These shorts will look hot with boots and tights or knee socks, topped with a vest or blazer. Bombshell Shorts takes your booty from Summer to Fall in vintage-inspired style.
