Shorts- Fashion Guide

Summer is the best time to wear shorts. The arrival of the summer season calls for a complete wardrobe makeover. Shirts and jackets are replaced with shorts and t-shirts. There is nothing as comfortable as being bare legged on a hot sunny day. Most men make blunders when it comes to picking the right pair of shorts. One must pick the right pair based on the occasion. For instance, you cannot wear a pair of boxer shorts on a Sunday brunch with your colleagues. You must know that there is a pair of shorts meant for every occasion. Just pick the right pair and you are good to go. Make a style statement with the right pair of shorts.

Summer is at its peak and all you need is a few pairs of cool and comfortable shorts. Here a few points you must remember before you buy shorts:

-          When you are buying a pair of shorts, pay attention to the fitting. Choose a fit that suits your body type. If you are skinny, go for slim fit shorts as they will compliment your body type. If you are moderately built, go for the regular fit. Avoid long baggy shorts and poor fit shorts at all costs.

-          Shorts may be a piece of casual clothing but you are not allowed to take it for granted by picking loud colours. Go for pastel and neutral shades with minimal design. The print or texture of your shorts must be extremely subtle. Team it up with a smart white polo t-shirts and loafer shoes for the perfect casual look. 

-          Most men are quite hesitant when it comes to wearing shorts. You must go for the right length (i.e. just above the knee) and a good fit. That’s all! There is nothing to feel shy about.

-          The common fashion mistake is to wear cargo shorts, board shots and short shorts. A smart pair of tailored shorts is what you need. You can also get your trousers altered.

-          When it comes to office wear, most places do not allow shorts but then there are places like advertising agencies which allow casual dressing. You can wear a pair of shorts with any solid colour of your choice. Avoid prints and designs in a workplace setting.
