Men, Get "Skinny" For The Summer

Men: pay attention.

Our fall and winter styles completely changed when slim-fit jeans became the new essential, leaving bootcut and wide-legs in the back of the closet.

And now, as we approach spring and summer, this "slim" look will carry on in the warm weather in the form of skinny shorts. Gone are the big baggy cargo shorts that go beyond your knees. Instead, stores are stocking polished shorts with pockets on the inseam. They are tighter fitting, cleaner-looking, and more importantly, showing more leg.

They may look funny at first, but like skinny jeans, they really become the new essential.

If I may quote GQ:

"Don’t worry, we won’t use the term dress shorts, but we will say there’s something…smart about these. Stripped of below-the-knee baggage (and cargo pockets), these shorts bring a streamlined sophistication to your casual getups. In other words, you’ll actually look like an adult in them."
