HOW THEY DO: DRESSED UP SHORTS
When it comes to dressing up, right now we're all about being short and sweet. Today's lineup of celebrity style muses have us rethinking our night-out attire by substituting cocktail dresses with a pair of dressy, tailored shorts. The resulting looks is sharp, demure, and modest—not to mention seemingly comfortable.
Read on for what we loved about the styling strategies of each stylish star, and shop some dressy shorts recommendations in the thumbnails below.
JESSICA ALBA
Alba glammed up basic separates with shiny, metallic threaded shorts and pulle dher look together with a major statement necklace. We think she looked professional and polished.
SIENNA MILLER
Miller honed in on an opportunity to showcase her white shorts by framing them with black tights and a jacket. Try wearing a white embellished top with white shorts over black tights.
KATE BOSWORTH
Play with proportions like Bosworth did by pairing an oversized boyfriend blazer in a neutral hue with your shorts. When going bare-legged, it helps keep from showing too much skin.
RACHEL BILSON
We love Bilson because she proves that you don't have to be a leggy runway model to pull off shorts in the evening. Dress it up with a silky blouse and belt it with a skinny belt to show your silhouette.
AMANDA SEYFRIED
Shorts can have a sort of boyish connotation, and we like that Seyfried played that up by creating a sort of femme tux with a glitzy blazer and heels. When going for this look, go for solid black and find a tuxedo blazer with satin or embellished lapels.
