Who wants to wear a pair of jeans, heck even chinos, when it’s so incredibly hot? Well, the good news is you actually don’t have to wrap yourselves in unnecessary layers. Meet this season’s best summer shorts – you know, the ones that will take you through the warm weather in sheer dapperness and style.

You might think that summer shorts are only fit for beach days, but here’s where you’re wrong. These shorts can take you from day to night in elegance, should they be styled right. Granted, we’re not saying you can wear them to your 9-to-5 job, but what’s a bit of style when you’re going to brunch with the guys or taking your loved one on a weekend getaway? The trick here is to style them correctly; meaning, pair them with linen blouses or basic tees and throw on a pair of espadrilles or boat shoes. Add a fedora to the look and you’ve got yourself a recipe for smartness!

Here’s a selection of fresh summer shorts that will make you want to take the whole summer off.
