Spring is often the time of the year when folks will break out the shorts again to enjoy the warm weather. Many women, however, just aren’t into shorts but would like to enjoy something fashionable and practical, given the higher temperature and nice weather outside.
Yes, there are plenty of versatile spring wear available if you’re in the “I don’t wear shorts” camp. Check out some of these fun, comfy, and fashionable alternatives.

T-Shirt Dresses
If you’re after something lighter, still relatively long, but not frumpy and awkward, then consider a t-shirt dress. This is the easiest way to breathe easy in any setting as the temps get warmer even here in PA. T-shirt dresses are also a nice investment you can carry over into the summer. Don’t forget that spring is also the best time for flowery and ostentatious bright colors, so try to select one that exemplifies those trends as well.
Other Shirt-Shaped Dresses
Sometimes the t-shirt shape isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, either, which is no problem. There are plenty of ways to exploit the hem/neck shapes and lengths of different dress styles to get the desired level of coverage, flattering fit, and fashionability. You can even sport the more traditional look, with ocean-blue colors, by trying this classy Ruffle Sleeve Maxi dress.
Wide Leg Pants
Sometimes the common sense alternative to shorts would be to find a full-length pair of pants that work well. The wide-leg pants are in vogue right now, so you won’t find a shortage of effective options to follow this 90s throwback trend. These Satin Wide Pants do the job well, especially if you’re a fan of pink.
Midi Skirts
Did you know that Karen Kane, best known for exquisite jewelry, also makes great clothes? Yes, and this Bias Cut Midi Skirt is a terrific idea for any woman seeking a breathable skirt, but with far better coverage than shorts.
Now you know there are several ways to go outside and enjoy the (finally) warmer weather in Pennsylvania without going super skimpy with shorts.
