If you’re not sure how to best make the look work, we’re here to help. The trick is in choosing the right shorts for fall and pairing them with pieces that help make them pop.
Shorts with tights: At work
You might not think you can rock shorts and tights at the office, but we’re here to say you can! The key is to choose a style that’s more structured and a material that can hold its own against tights. Pair with a tailored blazer, understated accessories and simple but stylish heels for an office-friendly fall look.

Shorts with tights: For date night
Since date night is all about dressing to impress, you can get away with adding a little more edge to your look than you might with a work outfit. High-waisted shorts with some sparkle make a great building block for a seasonally-inspired outfit. Adding a fitted tank, denim jacket and heeled booties makes the look perfect for meeting your man at your favorite date night spot.
