Shorts over Tights - Fashion Faux Pas?

I visited New York City this weekend, which is my favorite spot for people-watching. I love that people wear whatever they want to wear, whenever they want to wear it. 

This season's fashion trend in NYC seems to be shorts over tights.  Now I love tights - patterned, colored - and wear them almost daily during the winter under jumpers, dresses, and skirts.  But shorts?  Does that even fit? 

After browsing a couple of pics online, I have decided that this trend does work - but only with the right compilation of pieces. The photo below from Madewell is great because of the standout shoes, mix matching colors, and layers, which really balance the look.  

What do you think?
