Hot pants are hotter than ever, making an incredible comeback on the runways for Spring/Summer 2009, from the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, Hermes, Stella McCartney and more.
These shorts are so short, they’d be better off worn as undergarments, yet they are designed as street-wear and debuted in the ready-to-wear collections. If you’re feeling brave enough to dawn these dinky duds, just beware that people will probably look twice; not because your hot pants are hot, but because they’ll be wondering if you’re sporting diapers.
