Fashion people love fall, but they often struggle with the idea of having to put away some of their warm-weather fashion staples. One such staple is the stylish shorts they've been wearing since spring. Thankfully, there are endless ways to seamlessly incorporate shorts into a stylish fall outfit rotation. I recently rounded up a variety of looks from some of my favorite fashion follows on Instagram for inspiration on how to pull this off.
From denim shorts to boxer styles and a biker option, I found a great range of looks that fit a variety of personal styles and occasions. Each pair of these shorts is made fall-ready thanks to key pieces like elevated sweaters and classic outerwear, as well as an array of cool shoe styles. Keep scrolling to check out and shop eight chic transitional outfits that will carry you into the next month or so in style.
