Just because you're transitioning your wardrobe to frost-friendly attire doesn't mean you should banish summer shorts into storage . Wear them over a pair of solid, knit or patterned tights for an edgy new look! The shorts-over-tights trend has been a long lasting trend, but we still think it's hot when worn well.

These celebs were spotted pairing shorts with tights earlier this year...

Jessica Alba, Emma Roberts, Christina Aguilera

...and designers included the shorts-over-tights look at Fall/Winter 2010 RTW Fashion Week.

Nicole Miller, G-Star, Tracy Reese
