The weather is getting warmer and it's time to put on a pair of shorts and soak up the sunshine. Make sure your look is dapper and up to date and see which shorts are the most stylish for summer…
Prints
From nautical to tropical, prints are definitely in. Whether you prefer to sport flamboyant florals or are more of a gingham gentleman, shorts come in a wide variety of prints and patterns; it’s just a matter of deciding which ones are your favorites. Add a fedora to your look for more of a beachy and laidback vibe.
Colored Chinos
A colored pair of chinos makes for a perfect summer outfit. Salmon, sky blue, butter yellow, mint green – the shades for shorts are truly endless (and very versatile). Throw on a vivid pair with a casual tee or even a posh polo, a pair of slip-ons or flip-flops, and you’re ready for some fun in the sun.
Distressed Denim
Denim shorts can sometimes come off as dated, especially if they are too short and tight (hello, ‘70s cut-offs) or too long and loose (blue jean bermudas really aren’t the best look). This season, it’s all about relaxed and distressed denim; try on a pair that has a frayed bottom hem for a modern, hipster look.
White
For a fresh and sophisticated look, opt for a pair of crisp white shorts. Whether they are linen or white khaki, you’ll look and feel cool and breezy. All you need is a button down and a pair of boat shoes and you’ll be ready to set sail into the summer.
In short, shorts are a staple of summertime. So pack away those pants, throw on some stylish shorts, and say hello to hot weather!
