A Short Story (Strictly For Men!)

By Yvonne Waluvengo - May 06, 2013

Hey there! I hope you're doing okay on this "hells-unwanted-gift day!" (Monday) :-D. How was your weekend? Let me know. I am so excited as I type this, I finally came up with something to write about on mens's fashion. Enjoy!



Currently, one of the major fashion trends for men is tailored shorts and shorts suits.

Why did I choose to write about this trend? Well, for one, it is a trend that can work successfully for any man, two, I think it is an awesome trend and I have to admit... I heart men in shorts!!! :-)


A number of things should be considered before attempting to rock a short suit :-

> Where you work

Though it has been argued that tailored shorts suits can be worn at all sorts of occasion, the short suit cannot really be compared to a normal suit. It is much more directional and therefore not entirely appropriate for every situation where a suit is worn.

> How confident you appear and feel

If you are planning to take on this trend, ensure that you find a way to complement it with your personal style, in order to be comfortable and in turn bring out a confident appearance.

> What the weather is like

It's only logical to wear tailored shorts or shorts suits on a warm day/ sunny day 

>What your legs look like (On a lighter note)

If your legs ain't pretty... Boy! Forget about this trend! No! Seriously! Hahahahahahaha!


The key to pulling off this look successfully is to dress tailored shorts down, not up. Pair them up with smart-casual pieces such as oxford shirts, polos and slim-fit knitwear.

Make sure your tailored shorts fit well, especially at the waist (they should be able to be worn without a belt) and they closely follow the lines of your thighs, stopping an inch or two above the knee.

If you are willing to try out  this trend, whether you opt for timeless neutral shorts or more striky, standout colors/ patterns it is completely up to you. I personally feel though, that you don't necessarily have to play safe by utilizing matching pieces, dare a more striking, forward-thinking look, mix and match your existing separates to create appropriate outfit for the weekend or holidaying.
