What No One Tells You About Men's Shorts
About this video
Centeno provides a comprehensive guide to wearing shorts well, covering the history of shorts as a garment, different styles and materials available, and practical rules for styling them effectively. He discusses fit, inseam length, sock choice, color coordination, footwear options, and appropriate shirt pairings to create polished outfits.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues that a 7-inch inseam is ideal for most men, and that sock choice significantly impacts the overall appearance—he recommends no-show socks for casual wear with shorts
- Centeno emphasizes that fit matters more than tailoring cost; he suggests batch-buying shorts in the same brand and size across different colors for a cohesive wardrobe
- Centeno recommends keeping shorts in classic colors like khaki and dark blue for versatility, and pairing them with collared shirts like polos or linen button-downs rather than graphic t-shirts for a more refined look
