How to style your shorts?
Sun and summer means shorts, but which shorts to buy and for what occasions can they be used. We have gathered some different models in a guide with some good advice so that you can be well dressed for the summer.
The sleek chino shorts look
It can be difficult to maintain formal standards when the summer heat sets in. But there are fortunately ways around this with the right choice of material. For the first look, we have chosen a pair of sand-colored chino shorts from Tommy Hilfiger. They are versatile shorts that you can wear with most things. To get a slightly more formal look, we have matched them with a linen shirt from NN07. The linen shirt is the perfect solution for summer heat, as linen is not woven as tightly as cotton, for example, and is therefore more breathable and lightweight. To make it even more formal, you can easily throw a blazer over the shirt, and if you want a more relaxed look, you can unbutton an extra button or two on the shirt.

An everyday look in natural shades
One of the biggest trends this year is color combinations in natural shades. You might be tempted to call it the "safari look". For this look, we have chosen a pair of army green cargo shorts from C.P. Company and paired them with a sand-colored t-shirt, army-colored crossover bag and shirt from the same brand. It's a look that can work for most occasions and therefore a good everyday look.
The practical look with a pair of sweat shorts
BOSS has been good at providing different types of sweat shorts for the past couple of seasons, and this summer is no exception. They have delivered a collection with a round BOSS logo in different styles that are perfect for a slightly more sporty/practical look. We have chosen to match these sweat shorts with a logo t-shirt and logo zip sweatshirt from the same collection. Since this look is very casual, we recommend that it be used at home, to and from training, or on the drive/flight during summer vacation. It doesn't get more comfortable than this, so if you want to approach the summer in a relaxed style, these are the perfect shorts for you.
No holiday without swim shorts
On all holidays, it is essential to have a good pair of swim shorts, and the biggest no-go when it comes to shorts is showing up at the pool/beach in a pair of worn-out sports shorts. Find the perfect swim shorts well in advance, so you can find some that fit your body best. Swim shorts can be a bit shorter than your normal shorts, and it is typically also seen in the selection we have. We recommend that swim shorts be used when you are at the beach or at the pool and not anywhere else, and if you are going out to eat or walk around various sights during your vacation, it is essential that you have packed a pair of "nicer" shorts for this purpose. To keep the look to and from the beach from being too casual, we have chosen to style these swim shorts from BOSS with their classic paddy polo.
We hope our guide has helped you find your favorite shorts for the summer. You can see the entire selection in our stores or here on the website.
