Wear this to Work Tomorrow: Shorts in the Office!

YES, you CAN wear shorts to the office. Unless your dress code specifically says you can’t wear shorts, then don’t try it. But check your office dress code. Don’t come emailing me saying you got sent home because I said you can wear shorts to the office…lol.

But in theory, shorts CAN work in the office (ok—*some* offices) provided they meet certain criteria: they need to be longer in length, dressier in fabric, and be cut more generously (i.e. no tight-up booty shorts, please). I also highly recommend balancing the shorts with something like a long-sleeve blouse—nothing too form-fitting. You don’t want to too much skin out at the office—unless you work somewhere that allows excess skin out (heyyyyy). And then for shoes go for something dressy of course—anything too casual can throw off the office-vibe of the outfit.

Note about these Outfit Idea posts: I use Polyvore to create them and only use clothing that doesn’t have models wearing them and that are visually appealing. Sometimes the exact item isn’t available or is SO super ridiculous expensive. I’ll always put the exact item when available in the widget, but I also include other similar options—if the exact item isn’t available, please shop from similar items. I also try to include options in different sizes and price ranges when available.
