You may have already folded your denim shorts and put them away until next spring or summer.  But if you live in a city like LA where it's not freezing cold I have a few easy tips on how to wear denim shorts in the fall.

1. Wear with knee high or thigh high boots - This will give the appearance of a warmer look rather than pairing with a low shoe like a sneaker, sandal, or bootie.  You may be surprised but covering up the bottom half of your leg really does help with staying warm.
2. Pair with a sweatshirt, hoodie, or sweater - Since denim shorts aren't usually the first thing you would think to wear in the fall, you want to make sure that the rest of your outfit screams fall.  The pairing of the heavy top and the high boots are perfect!
3. Add a long coat - I didn't go for that option but if you want to make your outfit even more appropriate for fall add a long coat.  Now most of your body will be covered with just a portion of your thighs showing.  Remember, you can also play with the length of your denim shorts.  They don't have to be quite as short as mine.
