Shorts are undeniably one of the most worn fashion item over the summer months. It’s hardly surprising, though, when they not only keep you cool but also manage to look really polished. Not everyone is a dress person, and shorts provide a great alternative on those warm-weather days, and even worked layered up into autumn. The only problem is whereas a dress is an all-in-one instant outfit, shorts take a little more thinking about what to pair with them. If you can pin down a few easy combinations, though, they can be just as effortless to throw on in the morning.
