Boardies, denim, checked, pinstriped, cargo, printed and preppy- there out in full force for the gentlemen of summer. Shorts this season all finish just above the knee so girls, relax, we’ll not have to witness the horror that is men’s 70’s-inspired short shorts.
Shorts are easy to pair back with tees and singlets for an uber casual look or with short-sleeved or rolled-up collared shirts for a bit more of an effort-conscious vibe. Keep in mind if you are wearing busy printed or patterned shorts to keep your shirt nice and simple. Plain, block, neutral colours such as black, white, brown and greys are perfect. Vice versa, if your shorts are particularly simple, feel free to add some colour and a print to your upper half.
Tip: Guys, make sure that your shorts fit! It’s ok if you want them a little lower on the hip as most men do, but remember this rule of thumb: we don’t want to see your bum!
