Since long shorts are available in sleek, dressy, and chic styles, you can wear them as perfect alternatives to dressy pants, especially if you’re working in a creative or casual office. The silhouette of long shorts is generally flat fronted, straight, and tapered through the thigh though waist pleated versions with wider legs are also stylish. The great thing about them is they look clean cut and classically modern compared to traditional dress pants you usually wear with a crisp shirt and structured blazer for a corporate look.

To channel your playful vibe, you may pick some bright or lively shades of your shorts like yellow, hot pink, mint green, cobalt blue, bright red and such to uplift your mood in the morning walks. You may pick a brightly or pastel colored top like a knitted sweater, graphic tee, tank top and such for a more artistic statement. However, picking colors of your printed shorts to match with your top and coat looks more polished and coordinated.

Since long shorts are knee-length, they will be a perfect match for your sexy tops like a bandeau top, crop top, sheer top, and lace top. To avoid showing off your midriff too much, pick a pair of long shorts in a high waist style to keep your sexy look tamed. They are more practical than a mini skirt or short dress, and substantially more covered than short shorts and cutoff shorts that can make you feel more secure and comfortable on your street looks.

To polish your edgy vibe, opt for clogs, mules, boots, with or without studs over classic pumps and dressy shoes. Shades of black, white, and burgundy seem edgier and fiercer than cheery and lively shades of pink, blue, and red.
