Shorts are essential when it’s hot, even if you prefer trousers like I do. While long pants feel more elegant, shorts can be practical and stylish. Here are a few easy ways to wear them.

Ecru jeans might be one of the most versatile and underrated pieces in menswear. They’re more forgiving than white trousers, easier to wear than most people think, and pair effortlessly with everything from bright colors to earth tones.

Washed blue jeans are perfect for spring, matching both tailoring and casual looks. They have a relaxed look that pairs well with sport coats, suede jackets, and military-style outerwear.
