A Short Work Week

A suit with matching shorts is really only for sartorially savvy men like Nick Wooster. But suiting shorts on their own? I can definitely get on board with!

It's a little outside the norm and not really appropriate for the traditional office, but if you work in a creative or non-conservative workplace, give these a try! It's as if you couldn't take the heat of Summer and decided to cut your wool pants off just above the knee. Polished but breezy. 

Here's a styling tip: Like dress pants, you should continue to wear them with oxfords but ditch the socks (or opt for loafer socks). Stick with a button down shirt, with or without a tie. It's not the kind of short you wear with sneakers and a tee.

Shake up those Suits in your office and wear something modern! The Otter sure is...

P.S. It's also a great look for daytime weddings and brunches. Just sayin'... What do you think? How would you wear the shorts?
