I’ve been on a major shorts kick lately (as seen here, here and here) for obvious, temperature-related reasons. Since they are my pièce de résistance at the moment, I’m on the hunt for more polished pairs that can play the part from daytime hangs to after dark soirees. I’m obsessed with these for their suede detailing and darker wash that can certainly go the distance, plus they are a welcome change from my go-to cut offs.

I shot these photos while I was in London in the courtyard at the V&A Museum, which I highly recommend visiting should you make a trip. I’ll be sharing more of my favorite London spots next week, but until then I’ve rounded up more dressy shorts for your shopping pleasure. Just add a black top and go!
