(Back in 2011, fashion’s most suave designer Tom Ford famously decreed that, “Shorts should only be worn on the tennis court or on the beach.” But the times have changed ever since then. Streetwear took over and made it acceptable to wear shorts just about anytime and anywhere. Ahead, find the best shorts for men that will suit just about every occasion on your horizon.
Man about TownShorts that can be worn on a second date or brunch with your buds? Yes, it’s possible. A great pair of well-tailored shorts can be your most reliable bet for semi-formal occasions. The trick is to find a pair that finishes 2 to 3 inches above your knee in a cut that complements your legs. Our 100% hemp-made Mykonos shorts are the perfect embodiment of these features. With tailored detailing like jetted pockets at the rear and a slick arrow button tab at its front, these shorts don’t just look great but give off a dapper look as well. Especially if you’re teaming it with a half-sleeved shirt or polo tucked in along with a pair of suede loafers. The hemp fabric is just an added bonus that comes with an innate quality of UV resistance — perfect for breaking them on out on a sunny day.
Be a Sport
You’re probably familiar with the ‘athleisure trend’ by now, aka the merger between sportswear and fashion. But embracing the trend doesn’t necessarily mean resorting to your good old jersey gym shorts as a style-hack. The trick to pulling off athleisure in a non-sporty context is to focus on the minor details and raise the luxury up a level. And our pair of organic cotton fleece Bondi shorts will fit the bill perfectly. Available in a range of neutral hues, complete with colour-blocked bands to match — these shorts will easily convince passers-by that you’re not on the way back from a game of volleyball, but are in fact, a man of great taste. Style them with a slick polo t-shirt and a pair of low-top white trainers or plimsolls.
Whether you’re planning a road trip, staycation or even a mini-break out of the city, you will need a pair of shorts that provide comfort above all with just the slightest hint of style. The non-negotiables for these shorts would have to be ample pockets, room to stretch and a fabric that’s as soft as a feather. Lucky for you our organic cotton Harlem shorts are as reliable a pair as they come. Featuring slick side stripes, available in an assortment of colours that will go with everything, these shorts should be on your packing list for just about any trip. Style them with graphic t-shirts or half-sleeved shirts for a vacation-ready feel.
