Special feature on shorts coordination! Snapshots of smart adult outfits and recommended items!

Shorts should be worn in a box silhouette, knee to above knee length!

The most important thing for adults to remember when wearing shorts is to create a smart look that avoids looking childish or tacky. To express a smart look, it is important to choose items with a modern silhouette and length. Oversized and wide-leg shorts are the mainstream these days, and the most promising options for creating a modern look are boxy silhouettes that do not pick up the lines of the legs, and knee-length to above-the-knee length shorts. On the other hand, box silhouette shorts that extend below the knee tend to make the wearer look short-legged, making it difficult to achieve a good overall balance. They are good if you are aiming to create a modish look, but otherwise it is better to avoid them.

Point 1: “Use items in similar colors or matching tones to give a clean look to the shorts coordinate.

To express a fashionable look in an adult shorts coordinate, it is a straightforward approach to create a clean impression with items in similar colors or matching tones. By blending the shorts with the overall style, childishness and fussiness can be avoided, and a smart impression can be achieved and differentiated as an adult-like outfit.

Point 2: “Shorts with a boxy silhouette that hides the small of the knees can make the line of the legs look more beautiful!

Coco Chanel once said, “The knees are joints, not something to be shown. This is not just a women’s issue, but for men as well, it is easier to make a coordinated look more beautiful if the knees are hidden. If you are not comfortable with over-the-knee shorts that expose your knees, the right choice is to choose a loose silhouette with a knee-length that is just above or below the knee.

Dressing Point 3: “Fine-tune the balance of the shorts coordinate with the amount of shoes and socks.

The way shoes and socks are combined can make a big difference in how good a pair of shorts coordinates with the rest of the outfit. The easiest to balance is the combination of low-cut sneakers and socks that stay high to the shin. This combination is also the style adopted by many of the fashionable people snapped at Pitti Uomo, so please take a look at it as a reference.

When wearing shorts, don’t forget to trim your shin hair!

When wearing shorts, it is important to take care of unwanted hair. If you want to create a shorts look that will impress those around you, we recommend that you trim or remove the hair on your shin instead of leaving it growing. In the image below, the right side is untreated and the left side is trimmed to 3mm. The difference in impression is obvious at a glance, and it is clear that those who take care of their hair look much cleaner.
