How to Wear Shorts For Fall, Because Yes You Can

Just because Summer is coming to a close doesn't mean that we have to leave our shorts in the dust. Sure, we're nearing puffer jacket season all too quickly, but as we start to layer up for the brisk Autumn weather, we're still keeping out leg-baring bottoms in constant rotation — at least for now. The trick is proportions, whether that means opting for your shorts in a more Winter-friendly wool plaid, layering up on cosy cashmere knits, or throwing a blazer or leather jacket into the mix. Whether denim for day or silk for night, consider the street style looks ahead as inspiration for keeping your shorts in your go-to wardrobe for months to come — and our favourite Fall-appropriate shorts that we are shopping now.
