The Farmer’s Almanac marks summer’s end as September 22nd, but we all know the hot weather can linger even longer. Meaning? Summer essentials will stay…well, essential for at least another couple months.
While us ladies are blessed with the option of easy, “throw on and go” dresses – specifically of the no contact-mumu variety, guys have less options. Thankfully, there is one hot-weather hero to save every stylish guy’s wardrobe: the printed short. Printed shorts allow your knees to breathe and can add enough visual interest to a t-shirt and sneaker outfit to make it look like you did more than fasten one button and slide one zipper.
Below, how to wear printed shorts five ways:
polo: 1901 | bomber: H&M | sunglasses: Le Specs
espadrilles: H&M | wallet: J.Crew
SG Says: Layer up with a lightweight bomber in a summer-ready neutral hue like sand.
THURSDAY
tee: Lands’ End | jacket: Rag & Bone | shoes: Vans | socks: Stance
sunglasses: Komono | bag: United by Blue | bracelet: Giles & Brother
SG Says: We’re very into tall socks with slip-on sneakers this summer. With the slim-fit shorts and a neutral pocket tee, the vibe is more grown up than the teenage skater memories that may be swirling in your head.
FRIDAY
sweater: Wood Wood | shirt: Gitman | loafer: Cole Haan
glasses: Warby Parker | pomade: Hanz de Fuko
SG Says: Layer a button-down over a long-sleeve for a dinner outdoors.
