Is there nothing better than short pants when the temperature is high? We agree. We’ll tell you here how you can style them and still look dressed up.

Shorts, cycling shorts and the like are must-haves for the summer, because who likes to squeeze into long trousers when it’s 30 degrees? When the keyword shorts is mentioned, we still automatically think of casual leisure outfits or beach looks, but not of the office or chic evening wear.

Admittedly, shorts are a no-go in some professions, but if you’re lucky enough not to be subject to an overly strict dress code in summer, we’ll show you here how you can combine them and still look serious and dressed. And if you can’t show up at the office in your new favorite pair of shorts, you might unpack them for the next event or elegant dinner…

Shorts: How to style them for the office, a chic event or an elegant dinner

Bermuda shorts

Bermuda shorts are making a comeback this summer and are a safe bet if you’re feeling too naked in hot pants. The pants are characterized by a medium length – they usually reach just below the knee and are therefore well suited for a more chic occasion. For the office, it is best to opt for finer fabrics or the pleated style. With a chic tie-neck blouse or a blazer, the look looks grown-up. High heels visually stretch the leg and conjure up a classy going-out look.

Short power suit

With a classic trouser suit in the short version, a wow appearance is guaranteed. The look looks dressed and gets a touch of coolness with the shorts.

Bright colors such as blue, pink or orange are particularly trendy now. With sneakers, it’s suitable for everyday use, loafers, on the other hand, look serious and filigree sandals with heels are great for the evening.

culottes

The legs of the culottes are cut extra wide, so you can’t tell at first glance whether it’s a skirt or trousers. Alternatively, there are also so-called skorts, which look like a skirt from the front but have trousers incorporated. Wrap details, asymmetrical cuts and bright colors are particularly stylish.

During the day you combine the trendy piece with sneakers or flats, in the evening with high heels and a blazer.

Cycling shorts meets business
