Shorts: A spring and summer staple, the only logical thing to put on when it’s 97 degrees and just as humid. Of course, if you’re one of those men who heads into an office, please stick to the dress code; wear trousers, and just make sure the AC is on. But on weekends, days off, or if you’re working remotely, shorts are what you need. It’s too hot to wear anything else. So, don’t be afraid to show some leg—we’re now living in a moment of really short inseams. Just ask Paul Mescal, Blake Griffin, and Milo Ventimiglia.
And if you’re looking for a great pair—or two or more—make sure to check out Amazon. You know, that mega-retailer that you go to whenever you need...anything? Yeah, the site has some damn good shorts, too. You can dress up in 'em, or dress down in 'em—everything from Adidas to Nike to Rhone to Volcom is below. From linen styles in rich hues to classic cuts in solid colors to durable denim, the colossal retailer has all the options to outfit you when the weather is officially warm.
