Wide styles of shorts
The main trend of the season for several years in a row has been wide shorts made of airy fabrics. Chiffon, silk and satin are in favor. Fashionable models are made in romantic pastel colors and are gathered on one side along the waistline. They help create an image that is overtly feminine and elegant.

When the thermometer creeps up every day, and the sun pleases us more and more with its light and warmth, we want to dress in something light and comfortable, but at the same time not neglect style. And it's possible! Thanks to such an element of the men's wardrobe as shorts. Does it seem difficult to buy shorts? After all, this is not a jacket, where it is important to take into account many nuances, nor a shirt or even jeans. In fact, choosing shorts can be even more difficult than some of the items listed above. After all, it is important to take into account the length of the shorts, material, cut, choose the appropriate “top,” etc.
But let's talk about everything in order.
A little history...
Mentions of shorts have been found as far back as the Stone Age, where cave walls depicted people wearing “short pants” made from the skins of killed animals.
Shorts, in a form more or less familiar to us, appeared in the mid-19th century, among the British who served in Africa. Due to the hot climate, it was difficult to wear regular trousers. The name of one of the African countries, Bermuda, gave birth to below-the-knee shorts of the same name, which are still popular today. I wrote more about Bermudas.
After the war years, shorts became part of the clothing of scouts, and then from the mid-fifties of the last century they spread everywhere, thanks to designers such as Raulf Lauren or firms such as Brooks Brothers.
Shorts today.
For fifty years appearance the shorts remained virtually unchanged. But many models have been added, among which everyone can choose something of their own.
There are several types of shorts. The most universal are considered chino shorts.
Essentially, this is a shortened version of the trousers of the same name (which you can read more about), so all the combinations inherent in chinos can also be used for shorts. Those. you can wear them with T-shirts, polos, blazers, sports shirts (just roll up the sleeves). From shoes, these are moccasins, loafers, slip-ons (of course, all these types of shoes imply the absence of socks).
Next in line are ours denim shorts
.
Although denim is made from cotton, it still has a fairly dense structure, so I would not recommend wearing shorts made from this material in very hot weather. Because jeans are even more sporty and informal than chinos, then other details of the image should correspond to this. These can be T-shirts, T-shirts, and shoes, sneakers, sneakers, slip-ons, top-siders.
Cargo shorts. They can be easily identified by their patch pockets, loose fit and khaki color. 
This appearance of cargo shorts is due to the fact that they were originally used by the military. Therefore, the image when wearing them should be in a brutal military style. Depending on the style and number of pockets, cargo can be combined with a blazer, denim jacket, plaid shirt, T-shirt, polo. The most suitable shoes would be sports shoes, but depending on the look, options are possible. Aviator sunglasses will also be a great addition to a look with cargo shorts.
Another variety - swimming shorts, which are intended exclusively for the beach. 
A distinctive feature is the bright color and, as a rule, the “Hawaiian” print. Can be worn with tank tops, T-shirts, and light shoes such as sandals or slip-ons.
And the last view- athletic shorts, whose place is only in the gym, so we select appropriate shoes for them. 
Shorts, like trousers or jeans, can be skinny (Slim Fit), standard with a straight cut (Regular Fit) and loose (Relaxed Fit). Which cut should you choose? It depends on the size of your legs.
If you have a thin build, then voluminous cargo shorts or a relaxed fit will definitely not suit you. If you have a thick build, it is better to choose shorts with a straight cut.
Optimal length of men's shorts from mid-thigh to knee level.
In my opinion, men who are at least a little concerned about their appearance should refuse to wear capri shorts (10-25 cm below the knee), because... firstly, this style suits few people and secondly, capris are difficult to combine with other clothes so as not to look wretchedly ridiculous.
If it's cold, wear pants, hot, shorts, and leave the in-between option to people who don't care what they look like.
Bye everyone, I'm off to the beach
When buying shorts, keep these five rules in mind and you can't go wrong.
1. Good style
The first thing is to decide on the right, and most importantly, style that suits your figure. Once you understand what you need, consider that half the battle is done. Let’s clarify right away: we choose shorts in casual style on every day. They are not intended for sports and trips to barbecues. Wear these shorts when meeting with friends, walking around the city with your beloved and going to work, if the dress code allows.
It's simple: you only have to choose from two options. These will be either slightly tight-fitting chinos or loose Bermuda shorts.
Now more details about each style:
- “Chinos” model - fitted, tapered, narrow shorts with side and back pockets. Can you imagine what chinos look like? Mentally cut off half a leg from them - that’s how these versatile shorts turned out.
- “Bermuda” model - straight, loose-fitting shorts, made of thick cotton or linen. They resemble classic men's trousers(only without the arrows), as historically these shorts were the civilian version of the traditional military uniform for personnel in the Pacific Islands.
Both chinos and Bermuda shorts go well with T-shirts, lightweight short-sleeve shirts and .

By the way, there is a third option - cargo shorts. These are wide shorts with large patch pockets. Why don't they fit into the urban image? Because they are associated with the uniform of loaders, and this is no coincidence, because in translation from Spanish cargo means “cargo, loading.” Cargo is useful for outdoor recreation, but not for everyday outings. For every day - only chinos or bermuda shorts (cool models).
2. Lucky color
Let's select two win-win option- beige and blue. Although you don’t have to limit yourself to just these colors. Other muted shades look great: brick, khaki, white, gray, burgundy, dark purple, mustard.
Bright colors are also in fashion: do you want red or yellow shorts? Please just think in advance about what you are going to wear them with. If you have a dozen white T-shirts with original prints in your wardrobe, then feel free to take shorts in a flashy shade. Especially, ?

3. Good length
The next point when choosing shorts is length. Buy ones that are too short and you'll get hundreds of disapproving looks; buy ones that are too long and you'll look like a short country boy.
Remember the rule: shorts reach exactly to the knee or do not reach it by 5-7 cm. Maximum - go down below the knee by 2-3 cm.
In addition, it is worth focusing on growth: for tall men Shorts up to the knee (possibly with cuffs) or 3-4 cm higher are suitable; for short people - models 5-7 cm above the knee, without lapels.

4. Good width
Obviously, walking the streets in sexy tight shorts is the prerogative of the female half of humanity. And the average man is unlikely to wear something like that. Again we reduce the choice to two options: 1) tight-fitting, slightly tapering models - chinos; 2) loose shorts with straight legs - Bermudas.
When purchasing, be sure to consider the thickness of your legs:
- If your legs are thin, it is not recommended to wear shorts loose fit, they will only emphasize thinness. Take chinos and you won't go wrong.
- if your legs are full, go for classic straight shorts.

5. Good material
When choosing a material, you should not chase original solutions. Everything is boring: choose between cotton or denim. The main condition is that the skin should breathe and not steam under a thick layer of fabric.
Cotton is a comfortable and lightweight material that does not require complex care. Denim is a great option, but for cooler days. If, let it be a model with lapels, without sloppy fringe. In addition, shorts made of linen and seersucker (crinkled chintz originally from India) are suitable for hot summers.

Another important question: what shoes to wear with shorts? There are no complicated rules: with any summer. For example, with leather sandals, sneakers or slip-ons from Baldinini.
We've defined what great shorts are, and then look at what to avoid. Don't even try these models.
1. Abundance of decorative details
Ten pockets, rough abrasions, stripes, chains - this is unnecessary. Decorative details, when they are collected in one place, spoil the impression of the image and make it untidy. Follow the rule: “simpler is better,” and no one will dare accuse you of lack of taste.
2. Frilly print
I don’t want to say a categorical “no” to printed shorts. For example, models with barely noticeable stripes or polka dots look interesting and do not require special knowledge in the field of fashion. They can easily be combined with a classic T-shirt and shirt. In a word, wear it for your health.
However bright flowers, intricate geometric shapes, classic check - all this instantly turns shorts into... family briefs or beach trunks. People around you will think that you forgot to put on pants or are going for a swim. What if there is no suitable reservoir in your city?
3. Breeches and capris
Breeches and capris are not shorts! They will not save you from the heat, because they are not much different from trousers and expose only ten centimeters in the ankle area. Capri pants end at calf level, and this length makes the legs visually shorter. Capris and breeches do not make a stylish man look good, so we recommend leaving them on the store shelf.
Expert opinion. Marina Bratanova, stylist and teacher at Imageservices, creator and author of the blog @is_fashionblog:
Men's shorts- this is a spicy topic. The difficulty is that you need to choose not only them, but also suitable shoes and socks. My recommendation is tailored knee-length shorts. They fit perfectly into summer wardrobe and go well with T-shirts, shirts, jackets and jumpers.
We hope that now you don’t have any questions about what shorts to wear this summer.

Shorts are fashionable and stylish at any age and for any figure. The main thing is to be able to choose the right model so that it fits and looks perfect.
Long shorts
A universal option for fashionistas of any generation and body type – shorts two palms above the knee. Unlike knee-length shorts, this length visually lengthens and slims your legs. These shorts can be called differently: golf shorts, classic shorts, day shorts, but they all have one thing in common: length. Shorts can be loose or more fitted, it all depends on your body shape. A looser fit will help hide full hips, and a more fitting one will emphasize the slenderness of the legs.
Short shorts
Nothing lengthens your legs like straight cut shorts. Shorts with a gather at the bottom, on the contrary, will make your legs shorter. Therefore they are recommended only for very long legs, or required in combination with high heels.
Bermuda shorts
Wide, below-the-knee shorts in a neutral color a good option both for office work and for Everyday life. This cut of shorts is suitable for women with curves, making legs and hips visually slimmer.
Shorts with cuffs
The rolled up bottom of the shorts visually widens the hips, so this cut is recommended for lean girls with narrow hips. The more boyish the figure seems, the more shorts with cuffs will suit her.
The best shorts for your body type
- For all body types: shorts middle length, such as Lands' End offers, are suitable for absolutely all types of figures. They are called differently - walking, day, golf, classic and so on, but the easiest way to recognize them is by the length of the inseam, which is 18-20 cm. Unlike knee-length shorts, which visually bisect your legs, shorter shorts make your legs look longer while hiding problem areas like your upper thighs. To look your best, keep volume in (tighter shorts will help. look slimmer).
- Flabby upper legs: knee-length shorts. Hide dimples or loose skin on the hips you can use tight knee-length shorts. While shorts this length will shorten your legs, this problem can easily be solved by wearing platform shoes that will elongate your legs. Also consider tight cut-off shorts - this denim style is perfect for you - they will help your legs look longer and slimmer. Shorts that are too wide will look like gauchos at this length, which is not very flattering on your figure.
- Short legs: even shorter shorts. Lengthen your short legs with shorts that have an inseam of about 12 cm. They are long enough to cover the top of your legs, but short enough to elongate your legs. Avoid styles with lapels because they shorten your legs.
- Full figure: Bermuda shorts. If you have this body type, long shorts will suit you best. Not only slender girls look great in long shorts. These shorts, which reach almost to the knee, look fashionable and are ideal for shopping, traveling and even for work, if the dress code allows. Wear platform shoes to visually lengthen your legs and you will be irresistible.
- Tall and skinny: shorts with cuffs. They visually shorten long, thin legs. You can get even more benefit from shorts that can be changed in length and are also very helpful. skinny legs look more attractive.
