At long last, men’s shorts are classy. As seen at MaisonValentino's 2023 menswear show, the on-trend move is here to stay. See more here:
If one were to abide by the codes of traditional menswear, bare-legs are the antithesis of professional and formal dressing. Even in July, when the humidity in New York turns the city into a hotbox, one can find a stream of slacks-clad businessmen flowing out into the street with a thick sheen of sweat coating their brow. But, increasingly, menswear style mavericks are embracing shorts for the most elevated of occasions, from date night to luxury fashion shows to even the Met Gala.
A meaningful reconsideration of where and when shorts are appropriate is long overdue. They have long been positioned as overly casual or youthful . The very wise Tom Ford, “A man should never wear shorts in the city. Shorts should only be worn on the tennis court or on the beach.” But the limitations on shorts in Very Important Situations is not entirely practical for menswear wearers, especially when sun dresses and breezy skirts are more than perfectly acceptable.
Increasingly, however, fashion is elevating shorts. No one has quite mastered their fancified iteration better thanactor Jacob Elordi last week. The internet heartthrob attended Valentino’s spring 2024 show in a pair of expertly pleated shorts. The Pierpaolo Piccioli-designed trousers achieved, what I like to call, the golden ratio of thigh-to-leg on Elordi. The look felt flirty and sleek, versus—as short-wearers can often fall victim to—casual, slouchy, or juvenile.
