The summer season brings in its wake a mind-boggling array of beach shorts with a definite accent on both style as well as comfort. They range from casual to trek to cargo shorts and are designed to please everyone, cater to all tastes.
Did you know you can look both cool and casual in walk shorts with quaintly curved hand pockets showing off well-regulated pleats at the stitches? The back pockets are large with flap closures and stitched-on buttons. A wide waistband set off by wide cuffs are surely designed for your comfort as you stroll casually down the beach feeling the sand beneath your feet and the sea wind in your hair. A knotted tie at the waist and a five-inch inseam just about completes the picture. Most walk shorts are made out of cotton poplin which keeps you cool and dry in hot, sweaty weather.
For a la mode men who want to look hip but casual (on the beach, especially) the slightly longer and somewhat leg-hugging sartorial gem that go by the name of ‘delegate shorts’ may just be the thing. These are sleek and comfy and feel wonderful next to the skin thanks to their broken twill fabric in cotton. Not to missed are the garment’s 9-inch inseam and belt loops on the front fly. Truly elegant wear, if you ask me.
In case you plan to amble down the seashore in Bermuda shorts this summer you might know that plaid fabrics blended with mixed cotton yarn and polyester are very much in now. The shorts are not only comfortable, they are also convertible and are held together elegantly with d-ring belts. They have no front pockets, only back ones. This season’s fashionable Bermuda shorts mostly come in black or white.
So far we have discussed cool beach fashion statements for casual strollers. What abut the high-adventurous sporty types? Fashion designers have brought out some excellent ‘falls water shorts’ for the daringly inclined in nylon coated with Dura Guard to protect against huge water splashes that dries up in next to no time.
These knee-length shorts come equipped with large pockets – also called cargo pockets – stitched elegantly along the sides for you to stock you sunscreen and chapstick in. You look cool, relaxed, and audacious – all at the same time – in this amazing leg wear.
What about beach shorts for the women? Well, there’s quite a variety available which are nylon-manufactured and abrasion-resistant, are utility-prone as well as tres chic. Most come replete with comfortable interior drawstrings and belts on the outside. Many women prefer wearing beach skirts or sarongs. Well, whatever your choice ladies, make a splash this summer! |
