Get Shorty

It’s May and it’s already 100 degrees. Translation: it’s going to be a very hot summer.

And not a wet one.

We suggest you stock up on some shorts. Stick to darker colors, for they show less grime and segue better from day to night.

For Work


For the man who likes a bit of detail, these indigo-striped leg-bearers by Paige (available at American Rag) are super soft and have deep pockets. They’re good for casual office wear or weekend brunches.

For Traveling


The Civilian Short by Apolis is your go-to pair. Available in dark navy wash and khaki, with a lighter weight but stitched with a reinforced waistline so they’re still sturdy. Stylish and functional.

For the Weekend

Founded by a vet of Abercrombie & Fitch and Bergdorf Goodman, Relwen’s reversible shorts (available at Wittmore) are the ideal pair for the weekend. They have the relaxed fit of the former but the quality of the latter.

Stay cool.
