ULTIMATE Guide To Men's Shorts | Mens Fashioner | Ashley Weston
About this video
Weston provides a comprehensive guide to wearing shorts for summer, teaching men which types of shorts to avoid and which to embrace. He emphasizes flat front shorts as the essential summer wardrobe staple and covers fabric selection, fit guidelines, color choices, styling for different occasions, and appropriate footwear pairings.
Key takeaways
- Weston argues that flat front shorts are the only shorts style men need for summer versatility and sophistication, as they work for multiple social situations when styled correctly
- Weston recommends avoiding swim trunks for casual wear, board shorts, jorts, and performance fabric shorts, as these pieces don’t translate well to everyday styling
- Weston advises that shorts should hit between the top of the knee and two inches above it with a 7-10 inch inseam, and should fit as well as chinos with minimal excess fabric at the thigh
- Weston suggests pairing shorts with low-cut footwear like sneakers, driving mocks, boat shoes, or sandals—never boots or high-tops—and recommends no-show socks or loafer liners to maintain a clean aesthetic
