There is only one style of shorts to wear this summer - the tailored, or 'smart' short. Why? Because compared to the Bermuda, military baggy or three quarter lengths you may choose to stumble around in while cooking a barbeque - these shorts have 'suitable for work' stamped on them. And, if they're suitable for your office, they're also suitable for the bar, restaurant and even for meeting your in-laws. But make sure it's a warm day, or you'll be mistaken for a proto-naturist.
Usefully, tailored short have - slimming lack of flag-like fabric; a leg-enhancing crop above the knee, and the lure of smartening up your look even more with a casual tailored jacket. This, of course, should never 'match' the shorts in colour and fabric, as last summer's 'short suit' reminded us - a clown-like outfit masquerading as office-wear.
The snug shorts featured in the picture are by Neil Barratt and come in at just over £200. For similar high street versions try Topman, H&M and Gap. Now, of course, there's just the matter of how your legs look. I feel a blog coming on...
