Casual smart, sports luxe and streetwear influences
dominating menswear industry trends for a while, bermudas and other
sports-inspired shorts have become the best friends of men during summer.
If you’re into bermudas – which you must by the way - you’ll
want shoes that offers the same degree of comfort and breathability.
Trainers have been in any time of our lives from office look
to daily/weekend look thanks to luxury designer takes and technical runners to
slip-on canvas plimsolls and even hi-tops, it goes without saying that the
humble sneaker is an ideal match for jersey shorts which we may not agree with in
some levels. Sandals are our second
favourite.
- Denim shorts + slipons or not chunky sneakers √
- Chino shorts + sandals + slipons √
Tips:
- If you’re a shorter gentleman, go with nothing above ankle height or sandals, which will combine to produce the illusion of height and longer legs. When it comes to your shorts, go for a pair that finishes around mid-thigh or give the hems a couple of folds to emphasize leg length.
- On the other hand if you have long legs go with footwear styles that have a slightly higher profile. Desert and chukka boots, along with slightly chunkier trainers, brogues and Derbies, would be ideal. Similarly, your shorts should finish on or just above the knee.
