FAQ: Are tailored shorts cool or do they make me look like a foppish penis?
A: Most of the time, yeah, they do.
But not always.
Some guys will never be able to war tailored shorts and look good. Fat guys should steer clear, and so should incredibly well-built guys, who are top heavy and possess bulging quadriceps.
In short, only attempt this look if you are slim from top to bottom. They are one of the few items that look better on men with little physical presence as, in my opinion, a stacked gent in a cutaway collar, Windsor knotted tie and double breasted suit is about as masculine as you can get.
If you are slight, you will be find it easier to dress effetely in summer. Muscular or simple stocky men look good in flowing linen pants or generous cream chinos and a fitted white shirt, but shorts? Only if you’re training, boys…
For those of you, who proudly regard yourself an androgynous tiddler, team tailored shorts, cut to about an inch above the knee, with a slim-fit pastel shirt (pink or buck-egg blue look good) and a tall, side swept quiff. A cheap £3 pair of white, Primark pumps with low rise, white trainer socks keeps the focus on the shorts and image crisp. Lay back and enjoy the Pimms, boys – summer’s on the way!
