Men’s Summer Fashion: Wearing Shorts that Don’t Fall Short Men and fashion are not exactly the best mix out there. While women generally know how to look good with what they wear, most guys stumble at the thought of dressing up nicely. Nonetheless, this is not an excuse to look like a slob – especially that summer is finally here in the UK.
Summertime is the only season in the country when it is finally okay to wear something that does not consist of multiple layers. For many, it is also the perfect time to wear shorts outside. Still, many fail at pulling off outfits that include shorts.
For men to get their summer fashion right, it is important to follow these guidelines in using shorts as part of the season’s getup.
Get the correct length What kills the style of men when it comes to shorts is the mistake of wearing something that is not of the ideal length. The only time when the guys are allowed to do as they please with shorts is when they have great legs; other than or inspite of that, proper length should be observed. For short men, the piece should end a couple of inches above the knee, so as to create the look of longer legs. A clean finish and a slim cut also work to the advantage of shorter men. As for those who have some height, balancing long proportions is key. This is why the fashion choice for these men should be something that finishes just above the knee. Also, folds and hems create some extra bulk to thin legs for better visual appeal. Select the right fabric With the temperatures rising, the fabric should be cool enough. Linen-blends, madras, and cotton are good options when it comes to summer shorts. Not only do these materials prevent sweat-drenched legs, but they also emphasise the focus on seasonal clothing.
Choose versatility over flash There are accent pieces that work really well in certain occasions, but shorts should be versatile. A couple of statement pairs are justifiable, but men should invest first in shorts of classic colours such as white, grey, beige, navy, and black.
The relatively warmer climate is no excuse to look horrendous outside the house. With this guide, not-so-stylish men can finally wear shorts that don’t fall short.
