"After yesterday&amp;#x27;s Best Dressed Reader, Janice, gave us yet another brilliant example of how to make shorts look chic, I got an email from a reader named Caroline that said, &amp;quot;I love her look, and all of the other shorts looks I&amp;#x27;ve seen lately, but I still have no idea how to pull it off myself. Any advice?&amp;quot; When shorts first came back around last summer, I was stumped. They hadn&amp;#x27;t been cool for a very long time--in fact, the last pair I remembered wearing was pleated, khaki, and circa 1997--and I couldn&amp;#x27;t quite figure out how to incorporate them into my wardrobe again (something told me the Aeropostale graphic Ts--sleeves rolled up!--and bright red Keds wouldn&amp;#x27;t look quite as good this time around). I bought a pair anyway, because y&amp;#x27;know, I can&amp;#x27;t resist trends and I love a good wardrobe challenge, and they sat in my drawer unworn for a few weeks.

When you&amp;#x27;re putting outfits together, treat your shorts (dressy or not--this tip works as well with Chloe&amp;#x27;s scalloped silk pair as it does with worn-in denim cutoffs) like they&amp;#x27;re your favorite skirt. Would you wear your favorite skirt with a blazer, platform peep-toes, and a cute clutch? Then wear your shorts with that (Beyonce did! And 70% of you thought it was a Do). Would you wear your favorite skirt with a sexy flowing top, loads of fabulous jewelry, and an embellished sandal? Then wear your shorts with that (this Best Dressed Reader did, and the &amp;quot;How cute!&amp;quot; comments came rolling in). Would you wear your favorite skirt with a crisp white blouse, a sophisticated belt, opaque tights, and the perfect pair of pumps? You get the idea. What do you think, ladies? Does this little bit of advice given you the confidence to finally try out the new dressy take on shorts? Have you been rocking yours to places you&amp;#x27;d never have expected?
