I’ve seen these written up as a million different names–silk shorts, tap shorts, flutter shorts, etc…but I’m going to go with my favorite for the purpose of this post.
Tap shorts are basically a slinky, satin-y pair of shorts that look like a dressed up version of your favorite Summer staple. At first sight, these looked a little too much like silk boxer shorts but this pair from Urban Outfitters made me change my mind and give them a second look.
I think they look super cute with the ruffles but I think I’d even give this pair from F21 a chance–I saw them on a girl in Philly and she looked adorable in them! She was wearing them out and I like them as a fresher alternative to a short skirt or a dress! There’s something very 70’s retro chic about them!
What do you think? Will you rock these tap shorts outside of a dance studio?

I like the shorts with the higher waste. I’m not sure how I feel about the one you have featured in the post… it reminds me too much of a squart…which reminds me of 5th grade. But I love some of the examples you posted at the bottom of the post!
Yikes… I’m not a big fan. I was skeptical of the romper trend, but caved and bought a strapless short onesie for my Bahamas vacation next month. But the silky shorts? Eh… it looks too much like pj’s.
I think they look super cute and would be a nice fashion statement. But I don’t like wearing super short things so I really can’t participate in this trend!
I love them!
what do you wear with these?
