Nothing wrong with that. I'd just keep the weights close when it comes to styling pieces together but my motto, if I love my look, it doesn't matter to me what "they say" because who are "they" anyway? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shorts-with-jackets#post-1167722 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 15:11:17 +0000 Mo 1167722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea. &nbsp;I'm not a big stickler on seasonally confused, unless it's very extreme. &nbsp;I think a walking short 'suit' of a sort is a great look.&nbsp;</p> <p>Think of it this way, skirt suits are completely mainstream. &nbsp;Shorts are about as much material on you as a skirt, and about the same level of warmth or coolness. &nbsp;It should follow that they would be a great stand in. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shorts-with-jackets#post-1167588 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 10:13:14 +0000 jurocha 1167588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am seasonally confused and proud! Well, I've been slowly warming up to trousers this year, having up to now been a convinced short shorts and high boots wearer. Year around. Here are some of the looks I've pulled off on Austrian autumn &amp; winter weather:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow">Leather shorts + booties or tall boots</a>. The favorite version - even among fabbers - was the one with tall boots. When temperatures drop, this outfit receives either a black wool coat that hits me slightly above the knees or a cocoon dark grey coat that hits me mid-thigh as an outdoor layer.</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-outfits-from-salzburg" rel="nofollow">Train travel outfit, with wool shorts and tall boots</a>. Not shown and as an outdoor layer is a navy polyamide coat (military details &amp; cut) that hits me slightly above the knees.</p> <p>(And a spring time <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-de-bombshelling-shorts-and-bombshelling-them-all-over-again" rel="nofollow">bonus</a> here.)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shorts-with-jackets#post-1167552 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 06:17:14 +0000 Greyscale 1167552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the shorts with jacket would be great. I wear that look sometimes. California is so mild that all sorts of seasonally confused combos make perfect sense here - I focus on coordinating the fabric weights or textures rather than worrying about whether shorts and a sweater is inherently weird. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shorts-with-jackets#post-1167540 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 05:48:19 +0000 Deborah 1167540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharon, any excuse for more booties lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shorts-with-jackets#post-1167521 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 04:58:10 +0000 Sharon 1167521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's good to hear, Catnip. Living in such a temperate climate, I sometimes wonder if my idea of what is seasonally appropriate is a bit skewed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shorts-with-jackets#post-1167516 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 04:45:01 +0000 Catnip 1167516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here in NYC we often wear walking shorts in the winter.&nbsp; I unfortunately don't have any currently, but if I did I would wear them with tights, boots and a blazer or jacket of some type.&nbsp; Of course I would not wear them in today's weather... snow, sleet and freezing rain.&nbsp; </p> <p>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shorts-with-jackets#post-1167510 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 04:36:43 +0000 Sharon 1167510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I like the way your thinking, Deborah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shorts-with-jackets#post-1167505 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 04:28:52 +0000 Deborah 1167505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally I love the look and if I could make it work for me I would wear the look myself. How about some cut out boots that are trending...that would perhaps lessen the seasonal confusion? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shorts-with-jackets#post-1167503 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 04:26:22 +0000 Sharon 1167503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been amusing myself this morning constructing a winter lookbook from what I have in my closet already. It has been surprisingly helpful in allowing me to identify the silhouettes I am attracted to,&nbsp;which of my clothes I truly love and which pieces are super-versatile. I may take some photos and post them for your amusement at a later date.</p> <p>Anyway, I have a pair of high waisted, tailored black shorts that I have been wearing for smart casual occasions recently, usually with a dressy short sleeved top. Since Brisbane does not get very cold, I was thinking I could continue to wear them with a jacket and maybe some boots,&nbsp;especially if I am wearing them at night when it is a bit cooler. And then I thought that maybe this would look horribly seasonally confused. What are your thoughts on shorts worn with jackets (or indeed any long-sleeved top)? </p>
