The piece
How to choose and wear shorts
The warm-weather bottom. Tailored cotton shorts can be smart-casual; athletic and cargo shorts stay casual.
How to choose
- Chino or linen shorts in navy, khaki, stone or white are the most versatile.
- A flat front and a clean hem, no frayed edges, for anything beyond the beach.
- Avoid very long, very wide cuts.
How shorts should fit
An inseam of about 13–18 cm (5–7 in), ending above the knee.
Mid-thigh to just above the knee; a higher rise pairs well with tucked tops.
Common mistakes
- ✕Shorts with socks pulled high and heavy shoes.
- ✕Wearing them to anything with a dress code.
- ✕Cargo shorts with a smart shirt.
Care: Wash cold, hang dry, press the hem flat.
In a capsule: Summer-only: worth a place in a warm-season capsule, not a year-round one.
The details
Length, belt and fabric
What makes the colours above look deliberate.
- Length
- Just above the knee or shorter; long, wide shorts look dated.
- Belt
- Match the belt to your shoes when they're leather; with sneakers, any neutral belt works.
- Fabric
- A warm-weather piece: linen, cotton and light blends, with open or light shoes.
