Summer is finally here! You've pulled out all your shorts, tanks and flip flops...but now you feel like you have two separate scenarios going on in your closet- a work wardrobe and a summer wardrobe.
Did you know there are many summer staples that can be worn for both aspects of your life? Here are a few examples:

Shorts:
Coveting the tailored shorts trend but haven't made the investment yet because you aren't sure you can pull it off? Well here are some tips on making those shorts office appropriate, as well as an idea of how to incorporate them into your weekend wear as well.
- Be sure the fit and fabric are appropriate. Avoid shorts that are too casual looking, for example denim shorts, baggy shorts or those with large cargo pockets. Details such a pleating and cuffs help to add a sophisticated element, especially when worn slightly loose and not too form fitting.
- Mind them hemline. Shorts should be no more than 3 inches above the knee. Or do the finger tip test- place your hands straight down by your sides. Your shorts hemline should be no higher than where your fingertips land against your thighs.
- Its all about balance. Whenever showing skin in one place be sure to cover it in another place to be office appropriate. Shown here with a blazer, giving upper arm coverage to balance leg exposure.
- tailored shorts are a great investment because they can also easily translate into an effortless weekend outfit, as opposed to casual summer shorts that can only be worn during personal time.
 Button Down Shirt: - Pull out that old crisp white wardrobe staple and give it new life with colored cropped dress pants that are perfect for summer.
- A more casual silhouette and fit that pairs well with jeans can also work with tailored pants when dressed up with the right accessories and shoes.
- Dont be afraid to go clean in all white and use your accessories to add in some color or print.
 Soft Pants:- The key to making drapey soft pants a part of your work wardrobe is to pair them with polished shoes and accessories to dress them up
