In the summer, there is an increasing number of people asking, “I want to wear shorts, but I’m worried that they will make me look childish. What is the best way to wear them to look more mature? These are some of the comments we receive from our readers. It is true that if you coordinate shorts without thinking about it, you often end up looking like a kid, or you end up with an ugly style that is not popular with women. Such mistakes in shorts coordination can be avoided surprisingly easily if you are aware of a few things and know the right items to match. So, in this issue, we will introduce some tips for making shorts coordination look more mature!

Tip #1: “The most important length in a shorts coordinate is now knee-length!
When creating a shorts coordinate, the most important point to keep in mind is the length of the shorts. While there have been trends in the length of shorts over the years, the current trend is toward knee-length shorts, or just above the knee. Furthermore, this knee-length is “just the right length,” neither too long nor too short, so it is important to keep in mind that it is a length that gives a balanced and relaxed impression.
Tip #2 “Create a Y-line silhouette with a slightly oversized top and shorts.”
Size balance with tops is also important. As mentioned above, the current mainstream of shorts is relatively true to size, so if you match a true-to-size top with a true-to-size item, you are likely to end up with a tight, unrefined impression. The main tops to match with shorts are basically T-shirts and shirts, but the silhouettes of these items have settled down from the big silhouettes that were a major trend over the past few years to slightly oversized items, so it is best to choose such items to match.
Tip #3: “If you want to give your shorts coordinate a quick, mature look, matching them with a shirt will do the trick!
There are probably more than a few people who have a childish image of shorts. In such cases, it is recommended to choose shorts with a mature design as a base, and to enhance the mature look with other items. For example, items with a shirt collar can easily create a mature look, and look much more mature than a T-shirt, so if you have any of the above concerns, try combining them with a shirt.
Tip 4: “Summer knitwear is also effective if you want to look elegant.”
The shirt combination in the previous section is an easy-to-understand coordination technique, but you can also refer to other patterns. Here is a shorts coordinate with a cardigan over a T-shirt. Although the color scheme is a bit garish, it adds an elegant element unique to knitwear to the coordination.
Tip #5: “If you are aiming for a chic and relaxed adult image, use darker tones for shorts.”
Of course, shorts in light tones such as beige, white and light gray are fine, but if you want to create a more mature atmosphere with color, choose dark tones such as black, navy and brown. The fresh impression may be diminished, but if you are looking for a chic and relaxed style, try coordinating with shorts that are darker in tone.
Tip 6: “For the classic men’s summer coordinate of shorts and sandals, match elegant leather sandals that look like leather shoes.
When creating a shorts coordinate, you may be tempted to wear sandals. Leather sandals are good for a seasonal look, but if you choose rubber thongs or sports sandals, there is a big chance that you will look like a little boy, so we would like to focus on leather sandals. Leather sandals are the perfect summer shoe for adults. Although they are sandals in shape, the texture of the leather gives them a classy mood like leather shoes.
