3. The White Vest Top

A high contender to become the new go-to basic, the white vest top is essentially replacing the plain white tee as the sleek and modern update to both casual and formal wear.

In our opinion, we think this top together with black trousers is the perfect everyday look.

This versatile number's even been spotted on celebrities like Bella Hadid and Kaia Gerber which we believe is a definite seal of approval.

A great way to style these long trouser shorts is by incorporating them in a co-ordinated short suit set.

Another tip on mastering this long trouser short trend is to add a touch of personality to your outfit – be it with a statement shoe or a cool new pair of shades you've been loving.
