Shorts
MEN'S STREETWEAR SHORTS: SWEATSHORTS, JORTS, CHINOS AND SWIMMING SHORTS
FLEECE SWEATSHORTS, FROMESSENTIALS TO DENIM TEARS
The best-selling shorts over the last five years are not summer shorts. The Shorts Essentials by Fear of God is a thick fleece sweatshort, cut above the knee, available in the same shades of stone, sand and oat as the jogging suit — Light Oatmeal, Dark Oatmeal, Stretch Limo — and worn twelve months a year with a high sock. The NBAversion, longer and more fluid, borrows its drape from the basketball shorts.
On the same fleece base, the Cotton Wreath by Denim Tears becomes a short with its embroidered cotton crown, and the loopback from Power Goods offers a lighter loopback knit for full warmth. Sweatshorts are judged like jogging pants: by weight, which separates those who hold their shape from those who sag.
CHINO SHORTS AND WORK SHORTS: BONNEGUEULE, DICKIES, GRAMICCI
Canvas shorts are the piece that replaces pants as soon as the temperature rises, and they obey the same rules. TheOnoba khaki and the Potenza navy or beige from Bonnegueule play the straight chino, without embellishment, the one that goes from the office to the terrace. Dickies takes it down to the knee with the 13-inch work shorts with multi-use pocket, in the 874 canvas.
Gramicci keeps your climbing reflexes on the G-Short and the Gadget Short : integrated webbing belt, gusseted crotch, loose fit that lets theair. These are the shorts that go the furthest.
JORTS AND DENIM SHORTS: THE RETURN OF THE DENIM CUT SHORT
The jorts — a contraction of jeans and shorts — returned with the Y2K wave and skate culture, and they are worn wide, below the knee, often raw. The Faded Arch Logo from Billionaire Boys Club comes in two washes, the Madison from Dickies cuts it straight in a rinsed denim , and The New Originals offers a Dots Jorts in raw dot canvas. Ice Cream embroiders his Running Dog on it, Arte adds a belt.
Denim shorts are chosen like jeans: the thickness of the canvas and the wash. The rough patina and marks the folds; the rinse remains uniform; the light wash is more supple but ages more quickly.
SWIM SHORTS, SPORTS SHORTS AND A QUESTION OF LENGTH
Two families are closing the department. The swim shorts, from the black Summer Swimshorts to the monogram jacquards of Casablanca, can be worn just as well out of the water with a t-shirt in linen. Sports shorts range from nylon NOCTA of Nike to basketball cuts, and they are the ones that require the most attention to length.
Because it's all there. Above mid-thigh, these are running shorts, reserved for sports. At mid-thigh, around 5 inches, it's the short cut from the 80s back in force. At 7 inches, the all-purpose length. At the knee or below, it's the register of jorts and work shorts, which calls for a voluminous sneaker and a high sock. With a loose t-shirt or a hoodie, the proportion holds; and as soon as the thermometer goes down, the jogging section and the pants section show the same materials in a long version.
