8 summer coordination tips for adult menFor shorts, define the mood you are aiming for with length and leg
If you want to wear shorts in a mature way, it is more important to decide what mood you want to land on than to make length and thickness correct on their own. It is important to decide what kind of mood you want to achieve. For a preppy look, wear slightly thicker shorts with an oxford shirt, white socks, and loafers. For a surf or resort vibe, wear sandals or sneakers for a more casual look. A shorter length above the knee will give a lighthearted look, while a Bermuda length near the knee will give a more relaxed impression. Even more important is the way the legs look. If there is a strong contrast between skin tone and hair color, shin hair can easily stand out and look untidy. Controlling leg hair by reducing the amount with laser hair removal, blending it with bleaching, or trimming it short with a trimmer can make shorts look lighter and more elegant.
