Very helpful.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lisap - I really like the idea of wearing a blazer with these shorts. It might be a good solution for an event where the weather is milder or might cool off and&nbsp; I don't want to wear pants or a dress with jacket/sweater (which I never seem to get to look right).</p> <p>Smittie - great idea to wear wedges with these. I have a couple of pairs which haven't been getting a lot of wear.&nbsp;</p> <p>delurked - so I think these are pretty TTS.&nbsp; I am usually between sizes so I went up in size in the white ones and down in size for the black ones with predictable outcome; I think I may order the smaller size in the white to see if it might work.&nbsp; Yes, pretty slim through the leg. They have just a touch of "sheen" so they look very polished.&nbsp;</p> <p>For those of you playing along at home: the size 8 measures 15.5" across the waistband, the hips are about 20" and the rise is 9.5"</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-shorts#post-1893805 Sun, 25 Feb 2018 15:58:13 +0000 Jane 1893805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are good shorts! Looks like they will be a good find. I don't wear smart shorts, but I think I would wear them socially too and not for formal wear.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-shorts#post-1893800 Sun, 25 Feb 2018 15:29:52 +0000 Suzanimal 1893800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do not own dressy shorts but I've been looking for the right pair for me for years. *sigh*<br />If I had a pair, I would wear them a lot and depending on your lifestyle and style, in general, you'd be surprised at how much you can wear them. Personally, I'd wear them socially. Like kkards said above, nice but not formal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-shorts#post-1893785 Sun, 25 Feb 2018 13:23:55 +0000 kkards 1893785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i'd wear these for times when i wanted to look nice but not formal, like dinner out with friends... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-shorts#post-1893776 Sun, 25 Feb 2018 12:07:59 +0000 Cardiff girl 1893776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are lovely shorts,but then I m biased as I own 2pairs like this .I find them really versatile in the summer months,can be dressed up ordown and are never inappropriate like shorter shorts can sometimes be.They look very nice with wedges or flats and I like to wear a more fluid top with them to contrast with the slim cut if the leg.A camisole with kimono style topper is also a nice look.Hope you enjoy wearing them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-shorts#post-1893774 Sun, 25 Feb 2018 10:44:15 +0000 Katerina 1893774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are lovely! I don’t wear dressy shorts, but this thread makes me tempted, thanks for starting it.

I would wear nice tops and cute low heeled sandals with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-shorts#post-1893741 Sun, 25 Feb 2018 02:12:22 +0000 delurked 1893741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve eyed these. I think they look pretty versatile, but you’d need to decide what you prefer when you want to look dressier. Did you need to size up in them, and also, do they run pretty slim through the leg, or looser? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-shorts#post-1893739 Sun, 25 Feb 2018 02:05:14 +0000 rachylou 1893739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to have a shorts suit.

They’re the only shorts I’ll wear in “public”, on the street, and at work. (I’ll wear shorter ones at the park/beach.)</p> <p>I really like a wedge heel or block heel with them. Loafers would be great.<br /> Refined flip flops would work.</p> <p>Leather white sneakers might work, but I’m not sure.</p> <p>For tops, you could do any sleeveless one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-shorts#post-1893700 Sat, 24 Feb 2018 23:15:19 +0000 Anonymous 1893700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have a look at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://">lindsaynicholsnewyork.com</a>&nbsp; and their instagram account. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Back in the day, I would wear these to work with a matching jacket &nbsp;A younger me would wear them today for work in the summer with a &nbsp;more modern cut of jacket (see website above) and block heeled sandals for work. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-shorts#post-1893695 Sat, 24 Feb 2018 23:02:53 +0000 BrieN 1893695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all!<br />So I purchased these lovely Bermuda shorts from Nordstrom; they've arrived and they are dressier than I realized. They are great -- very nice woven material, beautifully cut, not-see through (although I'd love some confirmation on that!). But I'm trying to figure out when I would wear them. I keep thinking if something is dressy enough for these shorts, I would probably want a dress instead? (although dresses are hard for me to find for sure).</p> <p>Do you own dressy shorts?&nbsp; Do you wear them a lot? What kinds of events? What kind of weather do you have where you live?&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks </p>
