Shorts, are they ever appropriate to wear to the office? It gets stupid hot and humid here in Florida and I don't see why offices are so against employees being comfortable.

Yes if:
-It's a really hot day. I'm in NYC and I would only wear shorts above 90F.
-It's a casual office.
-You don't have any important meetings or client meetings that day.
-You have a good outfit and footwear. You're not dressing for a BBQ or yard work.
-And if you're a guy, your legs and ankles are in good condition. Nobody needs to see your mosquito bites and ashy ankles.

I wear them with a blazer sometimes in the summer. Tailored and professional and I can take the blazer off when outside.

Depends on the office culture. I have some nice pinstripe shorts I wear to the office when it's hot.

I'm also on the Lteam and don't care what people wear to the office, unless they're meeting with clients.
