To wear shorts or not in your forties and beyond?

It is a question that comes up often when I’m styling clients. My advice, if you don’t mind showing off your legs, wear them! There are plenty of options that are chic and age appropriate. So again, yes go for it if you feel comfortable and like wearing shorts. No reason not to.

I appreciate a “throw it on and go” piece like this Collar Tie Waist Romper by Treasure & Bond. The navy shade is befitting for us over 40. It’s lightweight with enough leg and arm coverage. I paired the romper with the Paily slide sandal from Dolce Vita. You could also pair this piece with sneakers for a more casual vibe. The straw tote from BTB Los Angeles is fun and it zips to protect your valuables.

So many pieces in my closet are from Vince. Tops, bottoms, dresses, even some of their shoes. I love the understated luxury of the brand, the cuts and simple styles.

The belted and cotton twill shorts from Vince are comfortable and roomy. I paired them with the Bea Ruffle t-shirt by Veronica Beard to elevate the look. And please, do not miss the close-up of this Perry Bombé Canvas Mini Crossbody Bag linen crossbody by Tory Burch.

With this look I paired the Vince cotton and twill linen shorts with a beautiful floral print blouse by Vince too. Again, the textured silk of the blouse elevates the outfit in a casually elegant way.
