Outfit inspirations - shorts in winter

Let's face it. The winter always seems never ending and long gone are the days of shorts and vest tops. But you don't have to give up shorts altogether. Add opaque tights and boots and they're a chic ensemble for many occasions. This is quite a casual take on the trend but they're great for evening too.
I'm playing this game, when I try to create outfit from one day's arrival at net-a-porter to ensure the freshest look and this is a last Friday's edition.
Top by Etro £460, shorts by Mulberry £250, coat cardigan by Ralph Lauren Black label £945, bag £790 and boots £835 both by Bottega Veneta, YSL cuff £365
Have a stylish day.
