Leggings seem to have found a permanent home in New York City. But, what about the recent trend of wearing shorts over tights? Though I am usually very opinionated when it comes to fashion as to whether something is socialite or not, I am quite conflicted when it comes to the concept of wearing shorts with tights. Throughout spring and fall when the weather is often unpredictable and neither warm nor cold, the shorts/tights combo is an excellent way to incorporate summer and winter clothing in the same outfit. If you get caught in the rain, boots can really compliment this look.
Lately, I have been seeing numerous New Yorkers sporting this trend. While some fashion moguls who sport this style are some of the chicest people bound to turn heads as they strut down Fifth Ave.’s shopping meccas, others look sloppy and inappropriate in this controversial combination. For this reason, I have yet to take the town dressed in such an unlikely union. However, seeing that this is an excellent way to make the wardrobe transition between spring and summer, you may see me wearing denim over nylon very soon.
