The Long And "Shorts" Of It

Men, I said it last year, and I'll say it again: no matter how crazy the pattern, your shorts this summer need to be slim cut and hit above the knee (preferably an inch or more), not on or below it.

Because jeans have stayed slim again for three years in a row, wear shorts with more of a slim cut and finally toss out those baggy cargos you wore four years ago.

Remember, the new modern preppy is what's hot.

"Bermuda shorts: an integral part of a man's wardrobe. He wears them cut like dress trousers, only hemmed just above the knee."
