Boardroom or Boardwalk, how high should one aspire?

Boardroom or boardwalk?

When it comes to wearing shorts, how high should one aspire? I mean I am a new convert to wearing shorts to work. Altho I must admit that I err on the side of nun- like modesty since my two favorite pairs are just about 1-2 inches slightly above knees. Both black in colour and one has cuffs which according to some fashion experts give it a twist of formality and the other is just straight and very flattering. I wear it mostly for casual dining on girls night out and yeah, even on a date and for work sometimes, I team them up with short and long jackets.

But I would like to know some opinions about an article I read in the STAR metro on sunday ( 4th may 2008) about suitability of wearing shorts to work . The ones that they refer to as “shorts” are about 3 inches from the butt down and a good 6-7 inches from the knees and it is recommended that if in industries that allows for self expression and creativity, a pair of shorts in tweed or wool , with cuffs or without , it is okay . I am not quite sure about that , what do you think? I am dying to show off more of my legs in the boardroom, after I tone ‘em and give ‘em a good shave ( and no , you do not smell sourgrapes here) lols:-).

  1. No.. I mean… yes? for certain types of career..
    My friend who is working for Roxy-Quiksilver, he wears boardshorts to work - and definitely, there is nothing wrong with it.

    Some of them can’t even accept formal skirts which are about half feet above the knees, can they accept shorts then? I worked for a lawyer before, and I was wearing the formal skirts in the length I have mentioned, and the lawyer who constantly showed off her cleavage told me that ‘it’s not sweet to wear a skirt in the length’.

    You see, they can’t even accept formal skirts which are much longer than the shorts.

  2. Ha!Ha! Funny, yeah more decent to show off cleavage than the legs right!
