Finally found the perfect pair of cut off jean shorts just as the temperature starts to drop? Prolong the seasonal shelf life of your favorite shorts by pairing them with tights throughout the fall. Also, dark tights can help conceal little flaws and will allow you to wear those Daisy Duke denims with confidence.

Styling Tips:
Pair the shorts with weather appropriate pieces like blazers, jackets and scarfs.
Match your shoes to your tights to help lengthen the leg line a little.
It is adviseable to stick to dark and neutral colors for best styling results.

Don’t put those short-shorts away just yet, keep them out and wear them all fall…
I Dare You!
