I like shorts with boots, especially with tights, for cooler weather. I had a pair of black silk Bermuda shorts that I wore everywhere, including the office, with black opaque tights and booties, loved the look.

I completely agree, about 4” of the shorts should show beneath the blazer, cardigan or overshirt. I also like wearing a 2” or so block-heel or wedge sandal with my shorts to visually lengthen me. I’m about 5’4” and a rectangle shape (my short torso leaves no room for a defined waist), so I find your styling tips really helpful. I like my legs, so I wear shorts of almost any length, but don’t like the shorter ones completely covered by a top layer.

I love your blazer collection, particularly the beautiful blue gingham one you're wearing. Such great information in this video. At 5'1" am not a fan of oversized blazers, although I discovered if I purchased 3 sizes down on my normal size 8, I can just about make 'em work - as you say, better suited to cooler weather though. Also not keen on ankle booties, which I feel create a horizontal line that makes me look even shorter, even in a neutral tone. Bike shorts are for biking I feel.

Jamie, i love all your outfits! We have the same body type (rectangle) so i love your channel for all the inspiration i get. I don't understand why people don't like the booty's outfits! I really like (and wear) shorts with ankle boots. However, i always try to wear them with tights, and try to colour coordinate them. Like... I wear a black blouse with black tights and grey/black or dennin shorts and black ankle boots. Or camel/brown t-shirt/blouse with linnen shorts and brown/beje boots :) And the list goes on and on :) One of my fav shorts are white, and i wear them with a dusty pink shirt and dusty pink bootys (without tights in the cool summer days!) :D Really love them!!

Enjoyed this content, Jamie. I love how blazers are having a moment right now - they're such an easy way to class up more casual pieces for so many environments! I'm now considering wearing mine with shorts (never tried!). I think you said that your denim bermudas (the light, NON-distressed pair) were some you already owned. Do you recall where you bought them? I'm looking for bermudas just like that (non-distressed) that are light wash, straight, close to the leg, but not hugging the leg. If you recall or you've seen some lately, please advise!?! Thank you! ~Kristin. Edited to add: Just noticed the very last denim pair from ON that you linked at the very bottom of your list! I hadn't scrolled down far enough. Thanks for providing that possibility!

Thank you for the styling tips. The visual for the booties is very effective. I thought all the outfits (the yes ones) worked well. I can see where blazers can work with air conditioning (here in the desert-CA). Even to drape the blazer over the shoulders indoors in a movie theatre for example could work too.

It doesn't get as hot here as where you live, but we can get weeks of 85-90 degrees plus high humidity. The only way I would wear a blazer is inside, as air conditioning is usually too cold. Personally, I prefer skirts and dresses to shorts, but can definitely see a blazer, tshirt and denim skirt combo looking great. 🙂❤

I think there are two issues with the nude ankle bootie outfit: 1. Too many colors- white, blue, mustard, grey, nude. They’re mostly neutral but that’s just a lot of colors in one outfit, I usually stick to 1-3 hues of colors (but I don’t count having different values of the same color hue in this number, like you have two values of grey in the blazer because you rolled the sleeve- the blazer is a lighter grey and the cuffed sleeves are a darker grey). 2. Too many horizontal line breaks- shirt into shorts, blazer hem, cuffed sleeves of the blazer, shorts hem, top of booties. I think the shorts hem could be a lot closer to the blazer hem (like 2”) and that would solve this issue. Also, the contrasted color white frayed hem on blue shorts adds even more width to the horizontal break at the shorts hem, so I would swap for non frayed hem shorts or you could do white shorts with frayed or non frayed hem (no line break because it is white fraying on white shorts). The outfit doesn’t work that well with the darker brown shoes but that’s only because the horizontal line break is more noticeable due to the larger contrast in value of the color of legs vs shoes. Edit- how I would wear this blazer, denim shorts, and ankle bootie outfit is I would keep the blazer w cuffed sleeves, wear a white top underneath, white denim shorts that are 2” longer than the blazer, then keep the nude ankle booties, and swap the purse for a nude/beige or white purse with no additional colors. This way you have 3 hues in the outfit - grey, white, and nude.

I know it seems popular to mix things up these days. I’m usually open to that, but the ankle boots and shorts don’t seem appropriate. I mean would you wear knee high boots with shorts? Well, I guess some would. In the summer, I don’t see people wearing blazers unless part of a work outfit. I usually just see tops, shorts, and sandals or sneakers. I like the look but I don’t see it on the street. I realize a lot of things are meant for younger people, but I still like to see what’s trending and try to incorporate when possible. I enjoy your videos!

Although I think the outfits looked nice on you, I am in the no-shorts-with-blazers camp….if it’s so warm that I need to wear shorts, I won’t be looking to add a blazer. However, I do love blazers…can you do a vid on wearing blazers with skirts and dresses? Something definitely more non-traditional than the 80’s skirt-suit? I’m also looking for fun ways to dress work casual (no jeans) now that I need to go back into the office (bleh)! Thanks for doing these videos, appreciate your advice!

I recently bought a white blazer as well as a black one. I haven't been able to bring myself to wear either more than once because I guess I'm not used to incorporating them as part of my style. Right now, it's way too hot to wear anything but a light, breathable top so I'm definitely not wearing them! I don't like the look of ankle boots with shorts. They just don't look right, in my opinion. I purchased these elastic bracelet-like metal thingies on Amazon that are specifically made to hold sleeves up and they worked well when I tried them.

For me, the issue with the denim shorts + blazer + ankle boots is that it's like the outfit is confused what season it is! 😆 Shorts = summer; booties + long sleeves = fall, winter, or early spring. I had the same feeling when I tried any kind of long sleeve tee with shorts. 🤷🏼♀️

You really deserve to show your legs, so shorts and blazers are great. Show that butterfly! It is super cute. I don't like the picked pants though. Above a certain age (yr 2 of highschool) one should not wear distressed or frayed denim imo. 3 inch inseam for up to say an 80 yo is OK, but NO frays. And the biker short is strictly for inside a sports school, not even for cycling or running outside. It looks like undies, because they are undies. Here in Europe we can cringe at over-the-knee cargo-shorts wearing American tourists, shorts should be short, but sports wear is another extreme side of the spectrum that is a no go for normal city center attendance.

The boot would look best with a skort instead of the shorts. For some reason, the booties with shorts cut off the leg length.

Maybe it’s an age thing? 🤔 1) It’s not so much the outfit but the ankle boots themselves. I’ve never felt they were very flattering. They just cut the leg off in an odd place. Although I think the light colored ones with the heel worked well the distressed shorts were a little too casual for my taste. 2) Biker shorts just feel really casual compared to a blazer. (To me) I don’t think I’d wear biker shorts unless I was working out. Again it’s probably an age thing (I’m 54). Something things just feel a little odd to me. 😬

I don’t like the cycling shorts outfit, but then I don’t like any athletic or athleisure clothes, except for when engaged in sports or exercise. I know it’s popular, but I’m not a fan of mixing athletic clothes with more formal day clothes, like the ubiquitous blazer over sweatshirt look. It never looks elegant or classic, my style.
