Long Shorts Are the Perfect Transitional Pieces

Long Shorts Are the Easy Way to Take a Little Summer Into Fall

September 5, 2019

By JJ Rankin

We all go to great lengths to make our fall wardrobes trendy yet practical. Well, this season the easiest way to update your closet is with a polished pair of shorts. No, we’re not talking about the ever-popular bike variety. Think work-appropriate versions that look just as good with a sweater as they do with a blazer. While dad-approved cargo shorts were summer faves, tailored long shorts are better suited to cooler temps. You can pair them with something unexpected like a minidress or knee-high square-toe boots. Or play it safe with a crisp button-down when you’re headed to the office. And you can wear them long into fall. Ready to stock up? Here are the coolest long shorts around.
