One of the best things about summer—or, for that matter, about any trip to a warm place—is the chance to leave behind those winter–weight wool trousers in favor of
chino (or
chambray, or
linen, or
cotton, or seersucker...) shorts. There's something freeing, we think, about feeling the breeze on your knees. And above the knees too, if that's your style: While many of our
men's shorts reach longer, Bermuda–inspired lengths, we do have several pairs with seven– or even five–inch inseams. Of course, we've got more than just
club shorts: Our
drawstring–waist Dock Shorts—inspired by the athletic styles of the '60s—are perfect for
casual activities like running errands, and our printed, embroidered or madras
dress shorts are stylish enough for backyard barbecues and even the office (if you're lucky enough to work in a shorts–friendly environment).
