Article Summary: Shorts that work at work reveal the most stylish and professionally appropriate ways to incorporate this summer staple into office-appropriate outfits without sacrificing style.

The keywords when it comes to wearing shorts to the office are: length and volume. Always remember to keep the length longer, generally hitting right above the knee ,as this length is flattering for most heights. When it comes to volume, think of the retro goucho cut as your best bet for cropped office attire. Making a big comeback this summer, the goucho style short is a modern way to ditch the long pant in the workplace and add some diversity to your wardrobe.

Some of our favorites include:

The DKNY Roxanne, $178.00
This high-waisted choice comes in an array of bold, fun color sperfect for pairing with your crisp white button down, a subtle statement necklace and a cute pair of flats.


The Rachel Comey Wayward Poplin, $380.00
This pleated-style coral goucho short is the perfect summer selection for work or the office company picnic.


Monochrome Board Short by Topshop, $72.00
If your looking for printed personality, this floral printed board short style is fun and beachy for the more casual office setting.
