Who wears short shorts?

We wear short shorts!

The folks over that New York Mag’s The Cut are reporting today about a disagreement between Joe Zee of Elle and Marie Claire’s (and It Books’s) Nina Garcia.

The topic:  Shorts in the workplace.

Joe Zee: “I love the shorts trend.”

Nina Garcia: “But short shorts, for the office, I still don’t think it’s okay.”

Nina, darling, I adore you, but I am afraid that I will have to respectfully disagree with you on this one.  I’m a huge proponent of shorts in the work place.  I don’t see the difference between wearing shorts and wearing a skirt.  It’s especially more exciting for the men folk, whose clothes are already markedly more boring that our female colleagues, to be able to show some leg from time to time around the office … or anywhere else.

We’ve seen some great shorts already this year.  I love where they are going with this.  Thom Browne put together one of my favorite looks.  Though in almost all of these cases, i feel the shorts could be shorter.

These Calvin Klein shorts are quite cute.

And while I might draw the line at wearing this to work, you can believe I’d love to get my gams in these Dolce & Gabbana precious little pants.

Sadly for these models, none of them has legs as good as those seen below.

Moral of the story: If you got it, flaunt it.  Wear the damn shorts to work.  Sorry, Nina.
