Man in shorts

Last week, the corks from the champagne bottles flew in Paris, because the judge finally ruled in favor of the bus drivers. After years of begging and pleading, they were finally allowed to crawl behind the wheel in shorts during extremely high temperatures. Just like our poor postmen who had to take their case to the Supreme Court to occasionally live life in shorts. Now the question remains: do we find it attractive? With the follow-up question: how do you wear them then? By the way, these are thirteen things we find highly unattractive about men, but that aside.

Well, nice men, we don't really get wild and crazy about shorts. But we do understand that you want a bit of oxygen between your legs on warm days. However, we want to note that shorts remain the domain of the more creative or outdoor professions. Lawyers, bank employees, and stock market guys should just buy some linen pants. In your environment, it really doesn't work.

But if you wear them, pay attention to this.

1. Not too short
Wear them to your knee, then it still has a bit of a dressed look. There is little less attractive than men in shorts that are too short.

2. NEVER do this
If you wear shorts, it is strictly irresponsible to combine them with a short-sleeved shirt. In any case, there should be a fine with three zeros for wearing a short-sleeved shirt, but in combination with shorts, that punishment would not be sufficient.

3. Also forbidden
Socks. No shorts, bare legs, and then socks. Under the shorts, you wear a Tod's loafer or a nice espadrille. With your bare foot in it. Then you just soak your sole. Better a stinky foot than a silly sock.

4. What is allowed
A shirt over your shorts. Preferably a bit loose-fitting, with the sleeves rolled up for that better casual feel. And a nice T-shirt is of course also fine. I even think that a jacket can go well with shorts, but then styled in an Italian way. So with a shirt and a belt and loafers and bare feet. By the way, these are the nicest shorts for us.

But we prefer to see you in jeans with a white T-shirt or shirt. Then at least you're not the only one feeling warm.
