Shorts. The current item of the moment. The only piece of apparel to pick up the pieces when we’re sweating from every pore of our bodies. Shorts aren’t simply an item of clothing during the current heat we’re experiencing; they’re a lifeline.
Shorts come in all different shapes, sizes, fabrics, inseam lengths, and we believe there’s a time and place for each of them. There are shorts designed for dressing up, there are shorts designed for adventuring, and of course there are shorts for lying on the sofa doing absolutely nothing. For such a simple piece of fabric, the range shorts have is vast.
To share our appreciation for the only genre of apparel that has kept us going during these hot months, we’ve partnered with SEVENSTORE to highlight six of our favourite pairs of shorts on the market right now.
Bermuda shorts are often overshadowed by their cargo counterparts, but this about:blank pair should remind you of just how good Bermudas can get. Lightweight, breezy, and slightly longer than your typical pair of shorts.
Stone Island Nylon Metal Short
Now here’s a pair of shorts even hotter than the current temperatures. We’re always big fans when Stone Island’s Nylon Metal makes its way into clothing, and unsurprisingly, it looks fantastic in short format.
Hailing from the North West of England, Mellow Clo understand the importance of a good pair of shorts. The Forage Short’s abundance of pockets keeps things tactical, while the technical fabric and roomy cut make sure you don’t look like you’ve just stepped off the battlefield.
Frizmworks Nylon Utility Pocket Short
Frizmworks can outfit for both ends of the spectrum. When its subzero and you can’t feel your fingers, they’ve got jackets like the Karakoram. And when it’s too hot to think, they’ve got summerwear like these fantastic Nylon Utility Shorts.
Renowned for their super techy jackets, these shorts show that Goldwin can do casual attire too. A simple three pocket construction and lightweight fabric keep these well within the realm of no-nonsense, which is exactly where we like our shorts to be.
Everyone knows what these are, and everyone should own at least a couple of pairs. Gramicci’s G-Short is the brand’s flagship product, and rightfully so – they’re the perfect daily driver short. Dependable, hardwearing and inexplicably comfy.
