Men's denim shorts: selection rules, fashionable images

For a long time, shorts were considered controversial clothing. On the beach or at the gym, they were appropriate, but wearing shorts at work or a business meeting was prohibited. The attitude towards men's denim shorts is now loyal. And this wardrobe item itself has undergone certain changes.

Men appreciate denim shorts for their versatility and practicality, convenience. Men's denim shorts are unpretentious clothes that can be easily combined with different wardrobe elements - T-shirts, summer shirts, T-shirts. It is not difficult to choose shoes - both sports shoes and slippers are suitable. It is this simplicity that seduces the majority of men who do not like to think about the creation of bows for a long time.

These include classic shorts with a crisp silhouette and high waist. The length of such models is 2-2.5 centimeters below the knee. They are moderately free but not baggy. The slim fit accentuates the line of the buttocks and thighs. The classics are combined with almost any items of men's wardrobe, some even create bows with a jacket.

Fashionable denim shorts are appropriate for a walk, at a meeting with friends, while shopping. Some even wear them on dates and to work, because not every company has a strict dress code. In the summer, many employers meet the needs of employees and allow them to wear shorts, provided that the length is chosen correctly.

Experts consider denim fabric very suitable for sewing shorts. It is comfortable, provides ventilation, can serve for a long time without losing its appearance from washing. Denim does not need special labor-intensive care, does not lose its shape, does not fade for a long time and does not lose color saturation. In addition, manufacturers benefit from such material: its cost is surprisingly low.

Denim and men's shorts are totally approved by stylists. That is why in each season the collections of the leading manufacturers are replenished with new models of stylish denim men's shorts.

Such clothes are short in length, 5-7 centimeters above the knee. Shorter length models are considered more suitable for young people. However, older men can wear them if they have an impeccable figure. For example, the infamous "dancing" millionaire Gianluca Vacca does this. Short lengths are not suitable for office style, but can be useful for beach looks and for jogging in hot weather.

Women were the first to rip the denim on themselves. But the representatives of the stronger sex followed them. That's why ripped denim shorts have not lost their fashionable position for several decades. Holes can be of different sizes, can be located only along the edge or affect the main areas.

Models with holes are appropriate in youth, street style, as well as in casual style for representatives of different age groups. For those who consider holes inappropriate, stylists advise more moderate options - denim with faux scuffs. These things look retro and that gives them a certain chic.

Clothes, named after the islands, have also not lost their relevance, but underwent a metamorphosis. Initially, it was believed that Bermuda should have a length strictly a dozen centimeters above the knee. Gradually, the designers revised the evaluation criteria, and modern Bermuda shorts can be either above or below the knee. This look is famous for its loose fit, large and comfortable pockets.

The length reaches the middle of the knee line or a couple of centimeters below it. There are both wide and narrowed models. The lower part has wide flares and cuffs. Denim shorts of such models are often equipped with cuffs made of another fabric, for example, checkered.

This is a find of modern designers. This style is not the first season found on the catwalks and streets. Gates can be plain or contrasting. The length has many options.

Very loose fit - salvation for fat and thin men. The former can wear models with an elastic band, successfully masking excess volume in the hips. The latter can hide thinness and create visual volumes.

For thin men, the shorts are "burdened" with additional pockets, zippers, and Velcro.

For the full, models are created that are simpler, devoid of an abundance of accessories.

Correct sizing will contribute to a good fit of the thing on the figure. To select this item of clothing, you need data on the following parameters:

• waist in girth;
• girth of the hips in the widest part;
• thigh length;
• height.

With Russian manufacturers, determining the size looks simple - the waist circumference is divided by two. If it is 96 cm, then a man needs a thing of 48 Russian size. But in practice, things are a little more complicated. Additional parameters are taken into account - physique, body type and proportionality of the body.

Discrepancies become noticeable when determining the size of shorts from foreign manufacturers. For example, things made in the USA and Great Britain differ by 10 units in the size range: 52 Russian size corresponds to 42 British or American.

European manufacturers use a different size grid. You can calculate the required size by subtracting 6 units from the starting Russian, for example, 52 Russian corresponds to 46 according to European standards.

Italian manufacturers “lay in” a smaller difference in the size grid - only 2 units down. A Russian with size 52 needs to look after Italian shorts size 50.

The correspondence of Russian and international sizes can be found in the table.

This indicator is not critical. How long the chosen thing will be is up to the owner to decide. It is only important to match the size. Short shorts should not cut into the skin of the thighs, should not leave traces of squeezing on it. When buying things below the knee, you should pay attention to the fact that how the thing sits in the buttocks and waist. It shouldn't "hang out" freely. Long models should also be assessed against the dimensional grid to avoid looking ridiculous or out of place.

Denim color is as important as cut. Stylists don't set rigid boundaries. Color is a matter of taste, and there are no standards for it. That's why no specialist will undertake to recommend a specific color. The trends of the current fashion season have shown that the most desirable and popular among men are classic blue and light blue denim items.

White thing, naturally, requires close attention and vigilant control, care, but she, like no other, most vividly emphasizes the existing tan.In addition, white things are easy to combine with T-shirts, polos and vests of various shades.

Another buzzword - black denim... They can be hot in summer, but only in sunny weather. If the summer is not sultry, just such a thing will be not only appropriate, but also comfortable. Such clothes are very practical, do not require special care, and can be easily combined with things of other colors.

Prints on denim men's shorts - the trend of the last few seasons. Designers do not limit their imagination - neither their own, nor their customers. Therefore, you can easily find not only a khaki-colored thing, but also any drawings up to abstraction and copies of Van Gogh's paintings.

Red, yellow and gray denim shorts - options for the courageous in spirit and in body. Following the women's fashion for colored jeans, similar motives are seen in men's fashion.

Denim shorts are found in different manufacturers, and sometimes they do not belong to branded ones at all. However, branded items will last longer due to the manufacturer's responsible approach to quality issues.

Choosing shorts that fit your body perfectly can be challenging as you have to honestly answer questions about your physique. When the figure is excellent, a man has something to proudly demonstrate to the world, picking up clothes will not be difficult. The rest will come in handy with useful stylist recommendations.

Fitting before purchasing is required. Even a thing that is suitable in size can fit badly on a particular person just because his body proportions are changed. No one is required to be as proportional as a mannequin in a boutique.
