Shorts that Will Take You into Fall, Plus Our Cowboy Boots Winner
Don’t forget to enter our Hazel & Harlow necklace and t shirt giveaway! Tomorrow is the last day to enter!
So, here in Florida we’ve got a couple more months of shorts wearin’ weather to get through, but those of you lucky enough to be experiencing a cool down definitely don’t have to pack away your shorts! Consider rockin’ them with some tights! They’re a fabulous alternative to a skirt. Don’t mind me…I’ll just be sitting here in Tampa…jealous that you get to sport tights. I’m afraid that I would pass out if I tried to put on a pair right now. HA!
Wearing shorts over tights is definitely not a new style concept, but I thought I would throw it out there since I tend to forget about it myself. I have a gorgeous pair of tweed shorts that totally didn’t make it out of my closet last fall. For shame! I, in fact, posted about this “trend” last winter and still forget to try out the look myself.

It’s already too cold for shorts where I live! 🙁 Maybe with some tights, though. I do love the Theory and Forever 21 ones.
I used to rock this look back in 1990 (ish). I was so thin. *sigh*
this is a cute but really bold look that I’m not sure I have the courage or the body for
i’m way jealous but SO excite for Jaime!!
i need to find out if i can wear shorts with tights at work…i hope so!!
Cute! Not sure I could pull if off with a 30 (+5) mom body, but I do like all of these!
Yeah…I’m not sure I’m brave enough to try this look. So cute, though!
Okay, so I sported short winter shorts, tights and heels on my very first date with my hubs…Jan.1993. And, I still love, love that look! Not going to be sporting it now, just because of my age, but it’s so cute!
Congrats, Jamie! 🙂
OMG I am SO EXCITED!!!!!! Thanks Ladies! I will email you shortly 🙂
PS: Obsessed w/ the sequined shorts here!
love these shorts!
The sequined number has my name written all over it!!
As you know, I JUST got into the whole shorts thing… not sure if I could give it a go for winter… maybe with tights and boots though!
Thanks for such a fun chat on BlogFrog! So glad to have “met” you! Umm can I just say that shortly after the chat ended I traipsed over to H&M and Forever 21 and spent $$$ on clothes & accessories? BUT one of the items was a camel colored blazer!! YAY!
Congrats to Jaime!
LOVE those Ella Moss shorts! Stunning.

I quite like shorts and tights although I never worn them in our winter. These shorts would be perfect for it though.
I haven’t been brave enough to rock this in the past but definitely want to try it this year… perhaps for a fun night out 🙂
I haven’t found a cute pair of dress shorts on me in a while. I hate my thighs, so they have to be the oh so perfect length, or I’ll hate them! Not too short and not too long!
Those sequin bloomers are so mine! Heading there right now! We are going to a wedding on NYE and while the ceremony will be traditional, the reception is going to be a big party- so these might be a contender for the night! xoxo
Love shorts & tights! I don’t think I can pull it off but it’s really cute. There’s a really good chance we’ll be wearing shorts on Christmas Day!
I thought I’d do tights w/shorts last winter & it didn’t happen. I have issues w/leg & footwear. Me no likey. I think if I put the tights over the shorts, on the hanger, it’ll happen.
Yay for the boots winner. That’s so cool.
All cute shorts! I just don’t look good in them myself. Boo to me!
Congrats to Jamie.
I am still clinging to the shorts and short-sleeved gear as long as possible, but will have to face cold reality soon enough.
I {heart} booties with short shorts & black fishnets…super sassy 🙂
That’s a cute look, but you’re right – it’s too hot in Florida for it. Congrats to Jamie!
haha yes I must do this! congrats to the winner! 🙂

Congrats to Jaime!
love this look – esp with a pair of leggings and a cute pair of high heels or boot-wedges!!!
I am so jealous! This was the best giveaway ever!
Those Ella Moss shorts are just too too cute! Love this post–except for the fact that I didn’t win…oh well, maybe next time 🙂

I love that these shorts will carry us into fall 🙂
Just DYING for the nude booties in the fourth picture. Love this trend for fall!!
Cuuuute! shorts are tough! gotta find the perfect fit without looking too old lady!

Love the concept of tights with shorts. Here in southern CA we also are not ready for tights just yet but I can’t wait. I love the sequin one but probably won’t wear it enough to justify the price. I have been lusting after a cord pair from VS but hoping F21 would bring a cheaper version soon.
I love the idea of shorts with tights but I’m always too afraid to try it myself. That last picture is so chic and cute though..I might have to throw caution to the wind and try it this fall!

Nikki from A Haute Mess is selling a killer leather pair over at her blog!

i love the forever21 shorts = ]
Congrats, Jamie.
I’m afraid the shorts, even with tights, wouldn’t be a good look for this northerner.
Hmmmmm… love the look… but not pour moi
I think I need a nice new pair of shorts for the autumn, to wear with tights. All these look so cute.
Well, they are all fabulous! Love shorts with tights.
Congrats to the winner.
Have a great day!

Congrats to the winner!!!
I often forget about the whole shorts and tights thing as well, I really want sequined shorts haha.
I love all the shorts you chose to feature here! Congrats to Jamie!
I am so gonna try and rock this look this fall….but I am in TX so it will be “a minute” if you catch my drift!
Congrats to lucky lady Jamie. You better WERK those boots!!!!!
Hi there-fabulous picks, really love the khaki colour ones!! x
I have a love affair with tights that began when I was a little girl and just never went away. I love them with skirts especially, but I think I’ve been neglecting the idea of pairing them with shorts. It looks SO cute though! I’ll have to give that a try now that the cooler weather is just around the corner. Thanks for the inspiration!
I am ordering a pair of those Forever 21 shorts right now. Those are SO CUTE!
I just ordered more tights yesterday from We Love Colors. Amazing stuff! Go see!!!

i LOVE the ella moss shorts
loooove the shoes in the first one…i might need some black booties now.
Love that sequined pair! Not sure I’m into the whole shorts with tights trend, but it does look good on some girls!
Love the sequin shorts!!
I have vowed to sticking to wearing shorter shorts. They just look so much cuter than bermudas which I think age those of us of a certain age 😉 You’ve got some excellent choices, and with tights – looks fabulous — congrats to your winner *wipes away tears*
I love the shorts with tights trend! Any way to extend the wear of summer pieces AND cover up my pasty legs!
these are all so adorable. i would like to wear some of these cute shorts with tights for fall. and congrats to jaime! she has a great blog.

I remember my mom saying something negative about shorts over tights being tacky and because of that, I have a hard time with the look, even though I tend to defend “tacky” things as redeemable. It’s just one of those deeply ingrained kinds of things!
Um, I NEED those Theory shorts! They’re perfect.
I am super excited to wear shorts this fall! I’ve never done it before but this year is the year. I love the look with black tights 😀
