Holiday Party Countdown: Ideas for Outfits 3
Today's Holiday Party outfit idea brings you a few ways to style this season's dressy shorts. Dressy shorts are a fun alternative to skirts, and you can style them differently depending on whether you add tights or leave legs bare. Proportion is key to this look - wear tops that have a little more volume to balance out the slimmer short style. Also, we recommend a shoe with a little more coverage than a strappy sandal. You can still go with a stiletto and/or platform, but go with a cage heel, or ankle boot. This will also help balance out the entire look. Finish off with some chunky jewelry and a clutch and you've got yourself a chic holiday party outfit.

Not sure if I'd feel comfortable in shorts for an evening out.

Michelle, totally understand! You can always wear shorts with a pair of tights to help feel more covered up. They also help in the cooler fall weather.

I was hesitant about evening shorts at first, but just wore some with tights to a work party. I paired them with a little blazer and booties. I was happy with how it turned out and didn't get any stares like I thought I would! :-)
