When it comes to warm weather staples, obviously there’s hardly anything more quintessential than summer shorts. While throwing on a pair of denim cutoffs might be a no-brainer, in today’s post I would like to show you other options – I’m talking about options you could even consider wearing to your 9-5.
Let’s start with the first look which involves a pair of checked Bermuda shorts. Simply put, the key to “wearing shorts to work” is all about the length – so all hail to the resurgence of Bermuda shorts! The particular pair in this outfit is obviously my current obsession. High waist, over-sized cut (personally I would steer away from form-fitting Bermuda shorts as they are way less forgiving) and pleated details all contribute to making these shorts extra flattering. To complement the semi-casual vibe of this look, I chose a polo shirt to pair with the bottom and finished with a sleek blazer. The check-on-check situation just adds more sophistication to the entire outfit.
I would call the second look an elevated version of your good ol’ t-shirt and denim shorts combo. These high rise belted shorts in ecru are so versatile that they just go with basically anything you can think of in your summer closet. As this is more of an outfit for weekends, I went with a basket bag that is perfect for the season. The kitten heels help to add a little bit height without sacrificing comfort, but you can absolutely opt for your trust-worthy sneakers or flat sandals instead if you feel like it.
So – what do you say? Ready to up your game of summer shorts? FYI, I’ve rounded up a few of them at the end of this post. See if there’s anything you like!
