Men's denim shorts: have fun this summer!
Want to build your summer wardrobe? Be sure to include a pair of men's denim shorts. These are a fun alternative to jeans that will see you comfortably through the warmest days of the year. When you're rocking a pair of denim shorts, don't even think about trying to dress them up! These are a super casual item that you should reserve for weekends, holidays and other relaxed moments. If you really want to go for a smarter look, then avoid classic blue denim and choose a different colour. You might be able to find black shorts or, for a masculine alternative, go for a pair in military-inspired olive green.
How to find your perfect pair
Men's denim shorts should be as easy to wear as jeans. Just make sure you choose the right pair! Generally, you don't want them to be too short. They should either hit you right at the top of the knee, or an inch or two above. You can go for a pair with a standard hem but, if you want to look more casual and relaxed, choose shorts that are designed to be cuffed. Roll them up for fun, preppy style. Blue denim is, of course, the most popular choice of colour, but it's not the only one; grey and tan are also possibilities. Generally, the lighter the colour, the more casual your shorts will look. You might also find light colours harder to pull off so, if you're trying shorts for the first time, go for indigo or dark grey. Denim with some Lycra content will be more comfortable, but a rigid fabric will hold its shape better.
Styling denim shorts for men
Always keep men's denim shorts relaxed and casual. Be careful, though. There's a fine line between casual and sloppy, and you never want to cross it! Don't go for a big, baggy T-shirt; instead, keep your top fairly fitted. Choose a T-shirt or, for something a bit smarter, opt for a polo shirt instead. You can wear trainers if you like, but jeans shorts will also look good with deck shoes or loafers. Sandals could also be an option, although they will make your outfit even more casual. Save them for a beach holiday if you prefer. Then finish your look with a stylish belt – and you've created a fun sunny look!
