But can you actually wear a short suit to the office? It depends on your corporate environment. In an anything-goes, casual sort of workplace, feel free. If your office is in that squishy middle ground \u2014 not quite stuffy in terms of dress, but not wildly creative either \u2014 choose a suit with shorts that end at or close to the knee.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Those of you bound by a strict work dress code may need to limit your shorts suit escapades to other occasions. It\u2019s a sophisticated, yet approachable choice for a casual lunch with colleagues, for example, or for an impromptu dinner date. You could even try this style for a shopping trip in the city. Add some very large sunglasses and someone might even think you’re famous.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Accessorizing the shorts suit<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The shorts suit is easy to accessorize with a statement necklace, and you can easily transform its vibe by pairing it with either a pair of sneakers or low-profile wedges.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You can also make the most of the ensemble by selecting coordinating pieces \u2014 a matching blazer and a pair of tailored shorts is flawless, especially with a simple white tee or a camisole underneath. But if you feel a rush of heat, you can easily remove the blazer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
