Despite Tom Ford's quote that shorts should be worn on the beach and on tennis courts, most people will have realised that they can be worn just as well within the city walls. Shorts are a great choice of garment when the temperature and weather are at their most powerful. Not only do they help you keep the heat in check, but they also give you plenty of opportunities to add other garments and experiment with outfits and colours that suit you.
Tone-on-tone
“Chinolino” from Italy’s Incotex are available in three different colours and are made of a cotton and linen blend. The shorts feature side adjusters, front pleats, and the ideal knee length. These are a dressier alternative to shorts, where you can neatly add a tucked-in shirt or knitted polo shirt and feel comfortable. Try with a cable knit jumper, midnight blue suede loafers, and a pair of black Wayfayers.
Creamy white
J.Lindeberg has some of the best shorts this summer. The “Nathan” model in a creamy white shade works with just about any upper garment and has a good length with stretch, providing comfort. We are going for earthy colours here, where an olive green linen shirt meets brown sandals and sunglasses.
