Shorts are not traditional fall attire, but they can be a great slightly unexpected piece to wear in that season regardless. Short skirts paired with fall elements are a relatively frequent sight, but I think shorts work just as well.
With a Knit
This type of outfit follows the same principles that the short skirt and knit outfit does. Just replace the skirt with a pair of shorts and youβre good to go. A great way to take this further into fall is to add a pair of tights for some texture and a pair of over-the-knee boots for warmth or just because they look good.
If it speaks to you, Iβm wearing:
Mustard sweater, similar here, here and here
White shorts, similar here, here and here
White tights, similar here and here
Brown tall boots, similar here, here and here
With a Long Sleeve Blouse
This is not quite the same as wearing shorts with a knit since a long sleeve blouse has a dressier feel. You can make this look more fall-appropriate by adding a fun pair of tights and a pair of boots. In this case, I offset the dressiness of the blouse with combat boots.
I must admit that I had this post prepared for a while, but forgot to post it so this look is too light for me to wear with the current weather conditions. Hopefully it’s still warm enough where you are, and if not, you could always modify it by replacing the lace tights with a thicker version.
If it speaks to you, Iβm wearing:
Lace long sleeve blouse, similar here, here and here
White shorts, similar here, here and here
Black lace tights, similar here, here and here
White combat boots, similar here, here and here
Thank you for reading. Be kind. Be you.

November 7, 2018 at 12:32 pmSuch nice ways to extend the wear of your shorts outside of summer! I like adding a cosy knit to my shorts in early autumn or spring, it’s a nice way to stay warm! π
Hope that you are having a good week so far! Another hot day here, but I had the day off to enjoy it π

November 8, 2018 at 6:49 pmThese are both lovely ways to wear shorts during Fall! I love how the shorts look with the knit and over the knee boots. I would probably wear it like that with some tights.
