The Stylist’s Pick: Three Tailored Shorts

Shorts have long been a relaxed staple for laid-back summer days, but as men’s fashion has become more urban, shorts have also received a more tailored interpretation. This year, we clearly see how tailored shorts have taken a natural place in the summer wardrobe – with sharp cuts, pressed pleats, and thoughtful detailing. Here are three versions that combine comfort with style.

The Stylist’s Pick: Three Tailored Shorts

Classic Navy Linen Shorts with Front Pleats

In this look, we’ve chosen a pair of shorts made from a luxurious linen blend with front pleats in classic navy – a colour that always signals style and timelessness. The braided leather belt and crisp pleats add a sophisticated touch, making the outfit just as fitting for the city as for the coast. Style with a polo shirt and a sleek watch for a casually elegant look.

Light Cotton Shorts with a Relaxed Fit Styled in Earth Tones

Here we present two versions of light, cream-coloured shorts. The first is styled with a light blue linen shirt and a scarf around the neck – perfect for warm summer days with a hint of the Mediterranean. The second is paired with a thin beige sweater, creating a minimalist yet exclusive vibe. The relaxed fit combined with front pleats creates a comfortable, contemporary balance. Ideal for a seaside lunch or a summer evening on the Riviera.

Black Linen Shorts and Minimalist Styling

A pair of black, slightly longer tailored shorts is paired with a ribbed tank top and a sand-coloured overshirt in a luxurious material blend from Apesi. Here, Danish design meets Italian minimalism. Despite the darker tones, the outfit maintains an airy feel thanks to the materials, making it suitable for late summer evenings as well as more casual occasions.

Tailored shorts are a perfect way to elevate your summer style – without compromising on comfort. Choose quality fabrics, pay attention to the details, and let shorts become a key piece in your seasonal wardrobe.

Genuinely one of the best online shopping experiences I’ve had. Everything just works — from a smooth, intuitive website to fast, spot-on delivery that arrives exactly when they say it will. No fuss, no delays, just consistently excellent service. Hard to fault — a clear five stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fast delivery, well packaged and, because this time the product wasn’t for me, a superbly efficient returns service with great communication. Care of Carl is a very high quality, trustworthy business, in my view.
