It's sweltering out. That's not news because practically everyone in the country is dealing with just the first of many heat waves set to strike this summer. It's not even the Fourth of July and it already feels like mid-August. While these blistering temperatures may have caught you a bit off guard, we want to make sure you're prepared for the rest of summer. So we've put together the definitive shopping roundup of office-appropriate shorts.

Now the term may sound like an oxymoron, but there are indeed pairs that will be accepted by your company and your coworkers. Naturally, it's always important to check with HR since what works for one workplace may be out of place at another. You want to look for what we're affectionately dubbing "suit shorts." Basically, bottoms that are meant to be paired with a suit jacket or vest. That's not to say you can't rock them with a professional-looking shirt. You can totally style them like you would any office-ready pants or midi skirts.
