We love a dress as much as the next girl, but it’s always nice to have a warm weather go-to that feels a little less girly. Which is why we can’t wait to start wearing the new city shorts that were all over the runways for spring. The hemline hits between the mid-thigh and the knee, and the fit is loose but structured, making them perfect for everything from the office to an evening out. Read on for three great ways to style them.

Work Appropriate
For warmer days, opt for a chic white-on-white combination for the office. Instead of heavy trousers, switch in a pair of lightweight tailored shorts like these.
Style It With
Pair cream shorts with a white shell and oversized tailored vest for a work-appropriate look. Finish with burgundy nails and a luxe tote.
Weekend Wear
Opt for fun, brightly printed shorts to take you from brunch to errands on the weekend.
Style It With
A paper thin sweater, slide-on sandals and a bright bucket bag are no-fuss pairings that allow printed shorts to take center stage.
Eveningwear
Stand out from the sea of skirts and dresses by choosing a pair of sleek, black tailored shorts for your next evening out.
Style It With
A fringed clutch and tuxedo jacket look sophisticated with metallic accessories like these pave hoops and delicate sandals.
