How to Wear Shorts and Stay Classy

Rule #1: If your shorts could be called "hot pants" or evoke the word "booty," save them for the beach. Young celebs like Miley Cyrus and Rihanna step out in super short shorts, but it's not a trend most people can or should get away with. Shorts can be cute on a date and even office appropriate, but should always fully cover the derriere and upper thigh. Choose pretty prints, solids, or stripes in a substantial fabric and relegate your favorite cut offs to the weekend.
