I think it's a very cool, sophisticated, polished casual look. I could see wearing it for sightseeing, shopping, to a museum, etc. in the summer.

I can’t imagine wearing it during the day but maybe for going out to dinner on a cooler night. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tailored-shorts-matching-blazer#post-2110659 Wed, 01 Apr 2020 03:46:13 +0000 Jaime 2110659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes.

The shorts look much too short, too much leg to look professional to my eye.<br /> And if the office is hot, the arms will be way too hot wearing the blazer. But if the office has cold aircon, the arms may be good but the legs will be freezing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tailored-shorts-matching-blazer#post-2110644 Wed, 01 Apr 2020 03:12:23 +0000 Anonymous 2110644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look seasonally confused. If wearing shorts, the jacket seems too warm. The bare legs look too cold if the jacket is comfortable. I wore a hot pant shit for date nights. It was a light weight cotton with an unlined bomber jacket, so not very warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tailored-shorts-matching-blazer#post-2110607 Wed, 01 Apr 2020 01:38:02 +0000 Bijou 2110607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look, but it is not something that I could wear to work and Is too formal for my weekend wear. I have long pedal pushers that I wear on weekends which is a bit of a nod to this trend which I wear with a vest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tailored-shorts-matching-blazer#post-2110580 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 23:46:57 +0000 Anonymous 2110580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #5 the most-so of course it's Reiss! Think Reiss got me onto the neutral kick...<br /> But ditto to seasonally confused and where would it be worn- aside from fashion bloggers and IG? Ooo oo wait! It can be worn at home for (the unlucky people that have to do) teleconferencing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tailored-shorts-matching-blazer#post-2110490 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 18:38:57 +0000 Star (Lise) 2110490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with Barbara Diane, for me if it is hot enough for shorts it is too hot for a blazer.&nbsp; Looks good on others though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tailored-shorts-matching-blazer#post-2110475 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 18:09:20 +0000 Angie 2110475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES.

However if it’s shorts weather I’m too hot for a blazer. Looking forward to seeing your WIW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tailored-shorts-matching-blazer#post-2110426 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 15:34:14 +0000 LaPed 2110426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these are fun looks, especially the tonal browns in #3. I like the idea of lightweight summer blazers to elevate simple shorts-and-tees outfits. I do a less matchy, more casual version of this with a navy linen blazer and chambray linen shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tailored-shorts-matching-blazer#post-2110423 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 15:29:29 +0000 smittie 2110423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yah, good for a restaurant with friends or any night on the town.

Thank you for the culture.</p> <p><b>Vildy</b>, I definitely agree with you concerning the "when" such outfits could be worn. I would not envision such an outfit in my workplace, but maybe to go to the restaurant, …I really don't have a clear idea.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tailored-shorts-matching-blazer#post-2110414 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 15:00:17 +0000 Vildy 2110414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm right there with Joy in remembering the hot pants suits.&nbsp; I didn't wear them then, either.&nbsp; All the models look gorgeous, as did plenty of the hot pants suit wearers.&nbsp; For me, this is too coy a look-at-me look.&nbsp; What occasion is it suited for?&nbsp; If a person works in a country where shorts are worn by men for business, then okay, fine.&nbsp; Reminds me of a recent screen grab I saw of three news people - two guys with at least 3 layers on top, presuming they wore an undershirt with their dress shirt and sports coat/suit jacket and a women with spaghetti straps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tailored-shorts-matching-blazer#post-2110408 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 14:51:28 +0000 Anonymous 2110408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They remind me a lot of the Hot Pant suits of the late 1960’s, except the shorts were shorter and the often came with a bra top to wear under the jacket. A blazer with dark denim or white shorts might work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tailored-shorts-matching-blazer#post-2110402 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 14:32:26 +0000 Keturah 2110402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually have a pair lol! They were a $4 Target clearance special several years ago. Since they’re heavy polyester they’ve worn well. But they’re showing wear now—some snagging on the side of the thigh. I’m eager to recreate them by copying them and sewing a new pair. Otherwise, i may hunt for a new pair. They have 3 soft large pleats at each side of the waist. They feel very 40s to me even with the shorter inseam. I haven’t run across a pair like them yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tailored-shorts-matching-blazer#post-2110401 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 14:28:29 +0000 Aurore 2110401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Murph11</b>, that RL look is precisely the first one I noticed and saved in my inspiration folder… ;)</p> <p><b>lisa p</b>, <b>runcarla</b>, oy yes, longer shorts with a safari jacket would look so great <i>and </i>sound wearable!</p> <p><b>keturah </b>I hope you'll find those shorts!
