There is always one pair that gets grabbed before anything else and with shorts that pair is almost always blue. It works with everything already in your rotation. White tees, washed linen shirts, a simple stripe. You never have to think too hard and that is the point. We have been looking specifically at shorts that earn that first reach status, which means the right inseam length, fabric that actually breathes, and a waistband that sits where it should without any adjusting. Not too long, not too short. The mid thigh to just above the knee range is where most men look their best and we have kept things firmly in that zone. From tailored swim shorts that cross over into casual wear to relaxed chino styles that work on the street as easily as they do on a terrace, blue is doing the heavy lifting here. These are the ones worth having more than one pair of.
