Should you be wearing shorts in the office?

The answer from the catwalks is a firm yes, as short suits were everywhere from Max Mara to Saint Laurent. Meanwhile Net-A-Porter says it has bought into the trend with offerings from Gucci, Alexa Chung and new brand LVIR. Look for long Bermuda styles (à la Givenchy) and smarten up with a blazer.

As for the perennial question... sandals: how to get them right for work? This season the chunky leather slide rules. Smart, not beachy, and great with tailored trews.
