  "account": "In recent years, the debate over wearing shorts to the office has gained momentum. Instagram's Adam Mosseri believes that shorts can be acceptable workwear, provided they are styled correctly. Style expert Zahra Waliji also supports the idea, suggesting that longer shorts paired with a formal top, loafers, and accessories like a belt can be appropriate. Waliji recommends longer shorts, trouser-style shorts, and long chinos, stating that any shorter styles would not be suitable for work. Bold colors are acceptable as long as they are styled nicely. The final verdict is that as long as one dresses respectfully and modestly, wearing shorts at work should not be an issue.",
