Upgrading Shorts
There’s a common misconception that shorts have no place in the world of dapperness, that showing a bit of leg immediately throws a well put together look to the ground. If there’s one thing that Italians have shown us as of lately, is that this couldn’t be further from the truth. Granted, shorts aren’t appropriate for every occasion, say work for instance, but they’re a great alternative for these relaxed Summer months when having a drink after work becomes a routine. Make no mistake, when paired properly, shorts can elevate an attire to a whole new level while portraying that special seasonal feel. Just remember to leave the socks at home, put on a pair of suede loafers/boat shoes and top them with a shirt/blazer combo. Accessories earn you extra points…

Beams + Cuffed Camo Shorts
I came across Lyle & Scott a few years back while my brother lived in London. Their vintage line is worth checking as they come up with some outstanding scottish lambswool sweaters for Winter. I own a couple and it’s actually one of the few brands whose logo doesn’t put me off, the gold eagle is a nice touch. I’m glad to see their SS offerings are keeping it up.
