Brands like Miu Miu and Dolce & Gabbana collectively agree that pants are optional these days. Instead, consider hot pants or itty-bitty shorts the bold and fashion forward alternative. For those who crave a daring approach to style, this controversial short provides an exciting way to spice up your winter outfit rotation. All you need are the said hot pants paired with thick tights in place of traditional bottoms. To round out your winter ensemble, incorporate cozy, toned-down pieces, such as a wool coat, cable-knit sweater and tall boots as seen above.
