Between seasons, it can be difficult to put together a transitional wardrobe that won’t leave you sweating or shivering.
This is where the short city comes into play.
Tailored to fit the definition of smart casual, they come in hearty colors and versatile materials, from linen to synthetic leather.
Unless you have a strict dress code at the office, urban shorts are perfect for hot days when you still need to look presentable.
And beyond 9-5, they look great dressed for happy hour, with a matching blouse, crop top, or tailored jacket.
We’ve rounded up some of our favorite picks at a mix of prices, which we anticipate will sell out as well.
