Yes, you can wear shorts to the office. But how?

Can you wear shorts to work? If your office dress code is the laid-back modern sort, the short answer is probably yes. If you can wear a T-shirt rather than a shirt, or a dress without tights, if jackets are optional, then yes, you can wear shorts to work.

But that doesn’t answer the question. Take me, for instance. The Guardian offices are pretty much dress-code-free. There is absolutely nothing stopping me from wearing shorts to work. But can I? Would I? That’s a whole different question.
