Shorts seen to be the latest trend - - they are all over the runways and fashion magazines. Maybe it has something to do with it being 100 degrees outside! (Especially if you live in Vegas like I do.) Yes, it's a cool 100 degrees on a good day. So the question becomes where and when are shorts appropriate?
Can shorts be worn to the office and to go out at night? The answer in short . . . it depends. Take a look around your office; is it a creative place? Are jeans allowed? If so, you could get away with shorts but you will definitely want to dress them up. Shorts worn in the workplace should be of nice fabric (no denim) and they shouldn't be worn any higher than 2 inches above the knee - more of a walking short style. You will also want to complete the office look with a tailored jacket and heels. Not the super high heels, though; a medium heel of about 2 inches will "work" nicely. And absolutely, positively no flip flops or tennis shoes!
For the evening, you can always go shorter and show off a little more leg. Choose light, fun colors. Light colors will tend to make the leg look longer. Try turquoise or yellow to step out onto the town. Pair them with a metallic top for a great fun and dressy look. Another suggestion is to pump it up a bit with a playful platform heel. That will really elongate the legs. But as always, the key is balance. If you are wearing a low cut top or that dressy metallic top, then you don't wear those show-stopping heels at the same time. So choose one area or the other area to show off. Then dance the night away!
