Can you wear shorts to work?

Vogue thinks you can! We don’t think wearing shorts to a corporate work environment would fly to well here in Africa but if you are brave enough to wear them here is how according to Vogue:

  • Wear them with a clunky high head
  • Keep them long – no short shorts
  • Well tailored – no sloppy shreds

We also want to add ways to keep the look professional:

  • Make sure all of your other outfit elements are strictly business. Wear shorts with a blazer for example
  • Wear pumps rather than flat sandals

Here are some of our favorites.
