Look 2 of my new monthly style series, "one piece, three ways", was a no brainer for me, shorts! Short suits are a fun twist on the pants suit that is really on trend this season and I am LOVING IT! I found these trouser shorts on banana republic's clearance sale two years ago. Now I know that, depending on your field, wearing shorts to work could be risqué. As you know I am a higher ed professional in a school of architecture so I can "get away" with wearing shorts, given the creativity of the field I work in. I was bold enough to pair these shorts a week ago with an oversized, double breasted blazer and no one blinked an eye. I do think fit has a lot to do with what is office appropriate, these trouser shorts are high waisted, wide legged and hit the mid-thigh. They are fitted where they should be (at the waist) and loose where they should be the thigh. It is perfect! Now if the length makes you a little nervous I have included a few longer options below. Keep scrolling to add pieces to recreate this look
Style Tip: If you are bold enough to try this look in the office pair it with an oversized blazer that hits just above the middle of your thigh, its all about proportions.
