WEAR IT YOUR WAY:
MEN’S SUMMER SHORTS
Whether you’re holidaying abroad or staying closer to home, shorts are a summer essential. Here’s how to style them for any occasion.
Smarten up in chino-style shorts
Pared-back style meets all-day comfort in these linen-mix shorts, which feature an elastic waistband, tonal drawstring and essential stretch. For a laid-back, preppy look that’ll keep you cool even when the sun’s beating down, add a colourful striped rugby shirt made from breathable cotton, a classic baseball cap to shade you from the elements and wear-everywhere leather-look white trainers.
HOW TO STYLE CHINO SHORTS
Team cargo shorts with summer classics
Made with durable, responsibly sourced cotton and cut in a modern silhouette with roomy military-inspired pockets, these cargo shorts are a versatile addition to your weekend outfit roster. Team the hardwearing summer staple with a classic T-shirt for casual days or give it an upgrade with a breezy white linen shirt and simple slip-on leather sandals for a heatwave-beating look that’s perfect for laid-back al fresco lunches.
STYLE THE CARGO SHORTS
Take swim shorts beyond the pool
No longer just for doing lengths at the lido, swim shorts have made the transition to acceptable dry-land attire; try a vibrant pair for a fast-track way to add some colour to your high summer wardrobe. Team with a T-shirt, sliders and a reversible bucket hat for a laid-back daytime look. Swap the T-shirt for a short-sleeved shirt and switch sliders with leather sandals for sundowners at a beachside bar.
