The Best Men’s Shorts of the Summer

Posted on July 14, 2014 by Style By Kim xo

After I clean out a female client’s wardrobe, the first question I hear is ” can you help my husband/boyfriend/”?  The answer is yes. I had a few emails this week so I thought I would give you some direction for your men or guy friends that need a little mid-summer lift. Here is a list of what is hot for men this summer, check it out and see what works for your guy.

 

Chalky Chinos

I love the bright hues that are all washed-out and faded. It’s the low-key way to get more colour. Colour is in for the guys, grab them a pair of blue, green, pink or purple.  My very favourite brand is Original Paperbacks in the St. Barts Style.  Find them here.

Muted Plaid

Plaid makes the cut for this summer 2014.  I personally like plaid shorts a bit more muted.  This reversible pair from Taylor Vintage is awesome. Two looks in one short, really you can’t go wrong with these. Take a look at all of their styles here. Another little tip…if you “Like ” them on Facebook you get free shipping.

 

Slim Fitting Jean Shorts

Buy them slim, buy them pre-distressed, and never, ever call them “jorts.”  The look is slim and about an inch above the knee.  These are one of my favourite pairs by Diesel Denim, called the  Thavar Slim Fit. Find them here.  I also like a pair by Pepe, find them here, and this pair from ASOS click here to check them out.

Khaki Shorts

These are men’s LBD of the summer.  They come in a million styles and variations of Khaki. I like these ones from Zanerobe, they are stretchy and add a bit of edge to the usual Khaki shorts. Find them here. I also like these ones from Topman and these from Fox.

Remember it is most important to find shorts that suit your man’s body type, but for a general rule of thumb try to aim for flat front shorts that are a slimmer fit  and keep them above the knee. Sloppy oversized cargo shorts are really passé, keep those for around the house.

Happy Shopping!
