Can you wear shorts and boots? These 5 transitional looks prove yes

Right as we were getting ready to pack our summer clothes away for good and plough full force into the autumn winter season, another heatwave has made an appearance and with it another round of confusion over just what we should be wearing right now. If you’re not ready to say goodbye to your summer shorts just yet, I’ve got good news for you, because the latest look I’ve been obsessing over allows you to keep your shorts firmly in play while also staying prepped for any weather changes that may arise. Enter shorts and boots season, the perfect transitional outfit for whatever the day has planned.

If you’re wondering how to style shorts and boots together, there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, avoid ankle boots no matter the length of your shorts. Rather than elongating your frame, they’ll cut across your leg creating an awkward and unflattering fit. Next, think about the proportions of your outfit. Longer length shorts look great with knee high boots for a statuesque look while, when wearing short shorts, you can afford to show some skin and opt for a calf length style. You’ll also want to consider the heel height to ensure your boots don’t just look great but offer the perfect comfort level too.
