Somehow shorts have been historically linked with boys more than men; having being taken as a school uniform for young lads in the earlier days.
The trend of grown men wearing shorts outside of extremely hot climates didn’t begin until after World War II, when the soldiers stationed in the tropics were issued shorts both for soothe and rationing cloth.
Shorts, as a piece of casual summer wear for men, did not come into fashion until the 1950s.
Shorts are ideal where the occasion calls for casual / tropical fashion. They are the best thing to wear with your posse. Whether it is going to the mall or a house party with close friends, you can wear them when you don’t have to meet anyone new outside of your friend circle. Shorts can also be worn for outdoor activities of all kinds.
We give you a primer on how to pull of this ubiquitous summer style with élan:
The best length for shorts is a little above the knee. Your shorts should just reveal a little bit of the knee.
The shirts that go with shorts:
Pair your Bermuda shorts with either a polo shirt or a casual shirt and don’t hesitate to add a nice belt to it too. And with those classic Ray bans, you will look like the latest J Crew model off the ramp.
The Top Color Combinations:
Wear black shorts with monochromatic shirts. Wear brown ones with shirts in white, blue, etc. Wear pastel colored shorts with white, and remember to play the game of contrasts really well. And don’t hide behind the color black that half of your gender wears as a uniform. Choose brighter colors to stand out.
