Classics should be high quality items that flatter your body and will survive over time. Higher quality clothing will be more expensive however are worth the investment because they will not need to be replaced as often as those that are a lower quality.

Show Your Knees
Your shorts should hit no longer than your knees. If you have major reservations about exposing your knees, then compromise by having the short hit mid knee. Any person looking directly at you will not be able to see your knees.
Don't Overexpose
If your boxers are showing out the bottom of your shorts, they are too short. Your shorts shouldn’t be any shorter than the top 50% of your legs. Aim for having 75% of the top half of your leg covered. Anything shorter starts looking like your Dad’s shorts from the 70’s.
And a few more tips…
Khakis are Keepers
Nothing beats a simple khaki short in the summer. They go with everything. Wear a flat front or single pleat style on the golf course. A cargo style short is easy and works for casual days and nights.
Plain to Plaid
A plain short is easy, but a plaid short can be a stylish way to add print and color to your summer wardrobe. Buy at least two shirts to wear with your shorts so you have options to mix and match. A canvas belt paired with polo or well fitted t-shirt looks effortlessly stylish.
No Jackets or Ties
There is no occasion that would give you reason to wear a jacket and shorts or a tie and shorts. Any situation that is dressy enough to require a jacket or tie is certainly formal enough to also require pants.

A punch of color. Bright, bold colors are everywhere this spring. We are excited to see the pendulum swing from monotonous grays and blacks to vibrant hues such as electric blue and sunshine yellow. Color blocks of contrasting colors like chartreuse and magenta prevail for warm weather, but pair your brilliant colors with more muted or soft colors like taupe to tone down the look now.
Modern white. White is everywhere this season. Keep the look fresh with tailored pieces that are simple, yet sophisticated. Create a white-on-white monochromatic look for added drama. Pair your white tops with dark denim while the weather is cool and gradually transition to the white pant suit for spring.
Bell bottom pants. Spring is all about 70’s glamour and the bell bottom pant is a staple of this era. Wear your bell bottom pants with tailored button-ups and fitted jackets. You’ll see an abundance of white denim and dress pant styles this season that can be paired with loose and sheer tops for warm weather.
Striped Tees. Nautical stripes scream resort wear, so choose stripes in orange reds and bright blues to keep your look less predictable. Layer your stripes under winter essentials like a fur vest and cropped jackets now and show them off with racerback tanks and loose fitting tees for summer.

Top Knot Braid. Take your hair and braid it in a reverse French braid from the nape of the neck to your crown. Gather the ends and secure in a knot at the top of your head. This is definitely a style for long hair and looks best messy.
Big Sultry Waves. Perfect for long thick hair. Wind one inch pieces of hair around a 2” barrel, leaving ends out to keep the look playful. Add a shine serum to the ends to smooth and add shine.
The Chignon. It looks effortless and it is. Pull hair to the nape of your neck with a soft part. Secure with a ponytail and fasten with pins. Keep the look soft by curling and teasing hair prior to putting it back.
Side Braid and Pony. Curl hair into loose waves with an iron. Then, simply pull your hair to the side and begin a soft braid. Don't make the braid too perfect, it should be loose and soft looking.
Work. Keep your look professional while fighting off office chill with a printed cardigan. We are loving leopard print because it is classy but still very trendy. Cardigans that hits mid-hip will lay better than cropped versions and will keep your look from being too sexy. A thin leather belt will draw the eye up and complete the overall look. Add conservative heels and accessories and you are ready to take on the world.
Weekend. For a casual weekend look, pair your black dress with a classic jean jacket. Take the look one step further by adding a rugged leather belt. You can find great options in the boys' section at practically any thrift store. Throw on your favorite casual flats or riding boots and you’ve got a look that doesn’t sacrifice style for ease. Avoid this look if you LBD is silk or has sequins or shimmer on it.
