There has been a noticeable trend in male fashion of recent, basically from spring/summer 2013 collections.
Nah, girls don't run off and be like "this kind of post is not for me" trust me, what our male counterparts wear, we should have a say too and be like "nah babe you cannot wear this" You dig? What shall it profit a female to have a shabbily dressed male buddy/partner/brother?.
So anyway, the tailored shorts and shorts suits look like this;
Instead of normal length trousers and suits, like this
I think people have not really gotten accustomed to this trend, just like how Jim Iyke,a Nigerian actor, came under serious fire, when he wore something similar to an awards event last year, with people saying he looked like "a village headmaster" (not my words please)
But in all honesty, "shorts suits" are actually not bad, in as much as you have the sass and confidence to pull them off. You need to also consider these factors; where you work, what the weather is like, and what or how your legs look like, but like I said, in as much as you feel confident, ride on!
Follow these tips if you decide to rock shorts;shorts suits;
- It is very important to ensure the shorts fit well/well tailored
- Shorts should not be creased/rough
- It should be cut a few inches above the knees
- Tailored shorts look best when matched with other smart casual pieces such as polos, slim-fit knit wears, oxford shirts, etc. Also "tucking-in" complements this look effortlessly.
You do not have to wear matching pieces to get this look.
Even though the shorts suits look is not totally appropriate for major office settings, you can still mix and match existing separates to give you that informal or casual look for holidaying, and weekends. Just like these pictures project:

DeleteInteresting and I must confess this is cool discourse considering the style'short' nothing bad about it ..however it is important to put the occasion and the environment into consideration... Too bad I don't av my pix to exhibit mine at the moment it takes confidence to dress in such way..my cilleaques at work appreciate it too.but I do it on Fridays or weekends.
ReplyDeleteI would rock it real good buuh need to work on my legs though.
ReplyDeleteSome legs dont just fit this style at all...
Nice for teenage boys and those in their early 20's. I like my men looking a bit more serious.
ReplyDeleteIts trendy, and that's what I'm about. But I'll rock this given the perfect time/event and environment. I'm light skinned so trust I'll want to show some skin plus the straight legs *wink*. But rather than the suits (jackets), I'll prefer the shorts with the tops.
ReplyDeletehmmm.i'd like my guy to look classy and sophisticated and this, is classy and sophisticated.
ReplyDeleteThe shorts and any other piece aren't a bad idea but matching it with a suit? won't work for me
ReplyDeleteThe shorts with any other piece isn't a bad idea but with a suit? I'm not really sure would work for me.
ReplyDeleteLooks really good on some of the models.. would have to scrutinise behind closed doors first tho before I come out looking like Jim
ReplyDeleteErrrm i think it depends on the stature, i think its better on brief guys, i can't imagine a tall big bloke wearing it yet
ReplyDeleteLooks good on the models. My man will need to try it out @ home first.( Big grin)
