Short Game: Three Ways to Nail Knee-Length Summer Style
Your calves are trapped in trousers three out of four seasons. Let them breathe a little. Give your style a seasonal shakeup with a few of our favourite shorts from Gotstyle.
West Coast Cool
Test your street style by pairing these Kollar cutoff denim shorts with an oversized long tee. Every guy needs a pair of low-top sneakers in his rotation, and these ones stand out from the pack with a graphic punch that gives them a Venice Beach vibe. Take the look all the way with some heavy metal man jewellery that riffs on the shorts’ motorcycle pant details.
Summer in the City
A pair of skinny fit chino shorts is your goes-with-anything foolproof choice, and the cuff details on these ones, by Selected Homme, take them a step beyond basic. Pairing them with a chambray band collar shirt (another versatile piece to have in your summer style rolodex) is the perfect colour contrast. Swap out your leather belt for braided nylon, your lace-ups for textured sneakers, and your briefcase for a waterproof tote that doubles as a backpack.
Out of Office
A little pattern goes a long way, and this toned down tonal print keeps its cool. Top it off with a resort collar shirt that says you are definitely off the clock, and a soft woven hat that oozes with Hemingway steez. These suede moccasin style loafers let you leave the house sock-free. Just throw a pair of trunks and bottle of your favourite summer sipper in your weekend bag and leave the weekday drudgery behind.
