Shorts Worth Getting Out

Sometimes you just want a pair of shorts. Not denim, not leather, not cargo. Just a really good pair of shorts in a flattering cut and the right length. We've pulled together the broader shorts category for everything that doesn't sit neatly elsewhere. Tailored options, casual cotton styles, some interesting fabrications. All of them are worth knowing about. All of them fill a gap in a summer wardrobe that other categories don't quite cover.

Denim Shorts for Classic Summer Casual

A denim short is the most reliably versatile summer casual bottom available because the format works with a wider range of tops and footwear combinations than any other short style and the denim fabric handles the outdoor summer wearing that casual shorts regularly receive. The cut needs to be flattering and the denim quality needs to be sufficient to hold its shape and its colour across regular summer wearing and washing. A quality denim short at the right length for the wearer reads as a considered casual summer choice. These are the denim shorts worth getting out because the versatility and the durability of the format earn consistent summer casual wearing that makes the investment in quality denim specifically worthwhile.

High Waisted Shorts for Modern Proportions

A high waisted short creates a specific and modern proportion that low rise alternatives cannot achieve and the combination of the high waist with a quality fabric and a considered cut reads as a deliberately styled casual outfit rather than just shorts worn with a top. The high waist needs to sit correctly at the natural waist and maintain its position through wearing. In a quality fabric at the right length a high waisted short earns the modern proportion that makes it specifically worth choosing over the lower rise alternatives. These are the high waisted shorts worth getting out because the modern proportion and the quality construction earn the format a more individually considered position in the summer casual wardrobe.

Printed Shorts for Bold Summer Dressing

A printed short for summer makes the casual bottom into a deliberate and individually chosen outfit element in a way that plain shorts cannot achieve. A bold tropical print, a striking geometric, an abstract design in summer palette. The print needs to be executed in a quality fabric and the construction needs to hold the short format correctly. A printed short worn with a simple plain top reads as a confident and individually considered summer casual outfit where the short is specifically the most interesting element. These are the printed shorts worth getting out because the deliberateness of the print choice communicates the individual consideration that transforms the casual summer bottom into a genuine style statement.

Tailored Shorts for Smart Casual Occasions

A tailored short for smart casual occasions earns the format a more broadly appropriate position in the wardrobe than casual shorts can occupy. A quality fabric in a well cut tailored format at the right length for the occasion reads as properly dressed for smart casual events where the standard casual short would look underdressed. The tailoring needs to hold correctly and the fabric needs to be appropriate for the smart casual context. A tailored short in quality fabric worn with a blazer and a quality top reads as a complete and considered smart casual outfit. These are the tailored shorts worth getting out because the quality construction and the smart fabric earn the format the smart casual occasions that casual shorts cannot reach.
