Shorts with heels can be very sexy and feminine – would you do it? If you’d consider, here are a few rules to abide by: Toned legs is (very) helpful ~ at least use a lotion with shimmer to give the appearance of more tone Shorts with a bit of sway are more sophisticated ~ tight, too short or cut-offs look young and not-so-classy For dress up, leather shorts or shorts with shimmer are great ~ opt for a heel
