The Style Blog: Multi-purpose shorts

Bermuda-length shorts in vibrant prints and bold colors are one of my favorite golf must-haves. Shorts are practical for on course play -- no need to think twice about how you bend down to tee up your ball or line up a putt -- but they can also be very versatile style pieces.

This year, designers sent shorts down the runway for summer with a little bit of a dress-up vibe. That means you can wear them for cocktails just as easily as you can to play. (If you're planning a quick get away, there's nothing like a piece of clothing that pulls a double shift.) Here are some ideas for dressing your shorts both on and off the course:
