Summer is a time to get outside and enjoy some fun in the sun. Dressing right for the seasons is a major part of staying cool and comfortable. Mens shorts make a great alternative to jeans or khakis and can help you enjoy the weather while earning that summer tan. The most popular type of shorts are the khaki-colored variety that go great for the golf course, informal days at work, or even lounging by the pool. The varieties don’t stop there, however, as recent fashion trends have allowed men to expand their shorts collection past the standard.
Having made a comeback this last decade, the now-classic cargo shorts ensure you have plenty of space for all your accessories while remaining comfortable. For a more streamlined look, plaid designer shorts arrived on the current fashion scene two years ago and are still intensely popular. Originally, a trend only for the youngest men, the appeal and variety has now grown to adults of all ages. The versatility of the patterns and colors allow for near endless mix-and-matching possibilities, whether you’re going with a neutral black polo shirt or a screen-printed t-shirt.
Speaking of screen printing, the t-shirt trend has now expanded to designer screen-printed shorts. While not as flexible with the rest of the wardrobe as plaid shorts, the screen-printed variety work well if you pair them with neutral-colored polo or t-shirts, including black and the classic white t-shirt. Combine this outfit with quality flip-flops and you’ll be enjoying the summer in style with a timeless, yet updated, seasonal look. Whatever the occasion, you’ll be hard pressed to find a pair of shorts that won’t meet your needs. Of course, if you’re buy the pool or playing a game of basketball, don’t forget the board shorts and gym shorts.
