You always knock it out of the park, Antonio!👌

Chino shorts are a winner for me - I'm grateful that my gym life has paid off and my thighs and glutes look great in off-the-shelf chino shorts. Great video

Another great go to video! Thanks Antonio!

I’ve had a lot of luck with synthetic, stretchy shorts that are reasonably affordable, both in a jogger/casual style as well as chino style with belt loops. I agree that synthetic material / the golf look is inherently more casual than cotton (or other natural fibers) but the trade off for comfort, stretch, and thinness is significant.

Satorial advice at its finest. Thank you Sir!!

Very insightful thank you Semper Fi

Great video thanks, I’m a fan of suede chukka / desert boot with light shorts.

hands down, this channel is a blessing indeed🙏🏻 although the video was about shorts but i got to know so much other styling rules❤

Right on with the shorts advice Antonio! See so many wearing the wrong ones for the setting or just plain wrong in fit. Another alternative if you need to be dressier is golf pants. Light, breathable, easy maintenance. I also have dressier shorts in the same style. I like the Tommy Bahama camp shirts for patio time at home with my shorts or going to the park or beach. Muted and well made, not the mish mash discount store ones that don’t line up the patterns right. Manufacturers cheap out here especially at the pocket (if there is one, better quality omit the pocket), sleeve seams and placket to save a buck, but it looks cheap and disheveled to a trained eye. (The ladies also notice it, gents!) One thing about TB though, avoid the splash panel shirts, you’re not 16 nor are you a billboard. Out in public, either a polo or short sleeved button down. I wear tees around the house but never out in public unless I’m running or playing a sport. Antonio rocks it again! Get the fit right and get it tailored…tailoring isn’t just for suits, it’s for everything! Take heed gentlemen.

I always wear a three piece suit to work, but instead of trousers I wear matching Daisy Duke's. All the women in the office compliment me on my look and I'm often asked to bend over to pick up their dropped pens (which is several times a day.)

My husband had great looking muscular thighs and I loved it when he wore the shorter shorts. 😃

A lot of these I've received from stitch fix, they make great stuff and the fits are nice. Sometimes I have to reattach buttons because they aren't always stitched on correctly but overall great pieces

7:01 Taking your shorts to a tailor is a great idea. Why didn't I think of that? I've used a tailor for trousers and sports coats, but somehow, I never thought of tailoring my shorts, of which I have many good ones.

That first pair of sneakers you showed at 11:00 looks just like the pair I recently purchased..Thursday premiere low tops in the toffee color. Wore them yesterday for the first time and love them!

If I'm going to the beach and the heading out to dinner, I typically pair a speedo with an unlined swimming trunk. When I'm done swimming I take the trunk off and wrap a towel around the speedo. Speedos tend to dry really quick, within an hour, and when I leave the beach I can just put a pair of dressier shorts over the speedo and throw a polo or a linen shirt on. I find this helpful when I don't want to change in a bathroom or there really isn't a bathroom/changing room around. It also avoids having to go about your day with a wet bathing suit and a damp crotch.

Shorter shorts were originally for men in the first place. 1940s-1990s, over the centuries , BC times, bibical times, Roman times and some troops wore them in the hot climates etc etc.

I JUST WENT THRU THIS! Picked up some nice shorts at, of all places, Target but they were 9" inseam. At 6' 2" they were too short so now I'm on the hunt for 10". May have to go online though.

Nice.

As usual, a great job, Antonio! One thing that did pique my curiosity is your use of the term "casual button-down." I thought shirts with button-down collars were inherently casual. I realize that we Americans don't make as clear a demarcation about this as the British. Nonetheless, I did look a bit askance when my father-in-law--"an ultimate preppy" (Phillips-Exeter and Harvard, where he roomed with JFK)--wore a button-down collared shirt to his wife's funeral. I won't wear a BD with my more formal suits, but I will with a casual suit or sport coat (needless to say). Or, by "casual button down" did you mean the kind to be worn untucked? Those are definitely ultra-casual.

You overlooked linen shorts. They're a great option for hot climates, and they're a timeless style. In addition, since I'm only wearing shorts during warm or hot weather, I tend to get them in spring/summer colors that work with my skin tone.

When its hot I always wear linen shorts that are 100% and linen shirts that are 100% linen with loafers/car shoes for breathability since it can get very hot where I live. I did not know much about the different seam inches on shorts,but those linen shorts I have bought in the last years sits very good on me. For me linen is the only fabric I wear in heat of the summer, and even when its super hot linen is not enough.

Hey Antonio hopefully you can provide a suggestion here, but if I want to wear no show socks with loafers do you have a recommendation? A lot of the ones I've found tend to be too thick to wear with loafers.

Jean shorts can make quite a smart look. Albeit the shorts need to be originally made as shorts and not cut from old pair of jeans. And if you flip them up/hem them like any other pair of shorts. Also I think that henleys should be added to the list of shirts that go well with shorts.

It's funny how men's shorts are such a sensitive topic, especially in the workplace. I'm an optometrist, and I genuinely feel discriminated when female colleagues are allowed to wear mini skirts, bare legs and flip flops or sandals, while I've generally not been allowed to wear shorts, even at workplaces with no air conditioning and 30 degrees C weather. Thankfully, I now work at a clinic where we guys are allowed to wear shorts, so I like to wear chino shorts to just above the knee, a tucked shirt and formal leather loafers. Still looks professional. Viva la resistance!

Nope, socks and shoes choice depends mainly of body anatomy and walking style (which depends on what asymmetry you have in the legs/hips/waist/torso ...)

That's great if you are 6 ft or taller the shorter shorter shorts are for guys 5 ft 6-5 ft 11( in relation to the knees )

I'm a "heavy set" man who used to be physically better. I am now middle-aged and not so "attractive" but this video is really ok, I'm still going to wear my shorts 3 to 5" inseam and laugh when people are nasty. I will wear shorts suits for formal and when I am dead (too soon for my liking) people have said that they will all be wearing shorts. It's been a delightful video but I will wear my shorts with pride while I can ❤

Leg proportion is key that is short length to leg length. You'll want to stand in front a mirror with different lengths of the same short. On short men, shorter shorts, make you appear taller. Longer shorts will make you look shorter.

Antonio has previously mentioned that he has thin arms. (So do I.) Therefore, for our own style, we favor long sleeves rolled up.

@Ian-qh7le

@Karl R I agree. Short sleeve dress shirts are not my favorite for myself, but I have gotten used to wearing a few. They're great for slightly less formal places, just want to look good going out. For the sleeves I feel that. This solution isn't for everyone but I've been working on my arm size to fill the sleeves more. It's been a fairly easy journey so far with some good progress. I have not gotten into wearing polos yet. They just haven't suited my fancy yet but I think that might be starting to change. I think being in the area I live im mostly exposed to frat boys wearing them and I associate it with them lol. No shade just not my style, but again, I've been eyeing some polos thinking they may be a new venture.

I can't seem to wear nice shoes with shorts, always looks awkward so i wear sneakers or trainers. If the occasion requires nice shoes, then I'm wearing nice pants. Some people can pull it off.

They're a classic summer shoe, and more casual than loafers. They should work fine with shorts. Sperry has a lot of the classic designs, plus a few non-classic designs. I would stick with the classic designs.

The only time shorts are wearable are either in gym or at home or just going out to grocery store nearby or if you are going to resort/beaches/pools but no other occasion.

It's more common in the UK ro see blokes (any age) wear trainers (sneakers) with shorts and done right, and the right style e.g classic Adidas, Nikes etc it looks good..

In Australia, where things are far less conservative than the USA, tend towards the more casual, and hot weather reigns supreme, shorts, I think, are far more common. As are speedos. And thongs (the footware variety). In fact, why would you wear sandals at the beach? They'd immediately get full of sand, which is very uncomfortable. And anyway, isn't the first thing you do at the beach is ditch the shoes and go barefoot? Or is that not the done thing? So, in a place where shorts are standard wear outdoors in summer, do you reckon that one could push the limits a bit further, and get away with shorts at more formal outdoor events?

Really short shorts look best if the guy has muscular, hairy thighs. That is a show-stopper.

How in Europe we address the style in a very different way. We don’t work in a high conditioned (cold/hot air) environment, an so we have in many levels more freedom to wear snickers, sandals, or shorts to work. What we don’t do, even wearing casual clothes is be sloppy. To the age limiting infos: we don’t make choices based on age, because it’s discrimination… Just saying… And mend are bolder in their work clothes here than in the US of A.

I don't see anything wrong with wearing dress shirt and shorts. If your workplace allows you to wear shorts you absolutely should!

Me, I wear cargo shorts almost daily (in warmer weather), because I work in a warehouse and it's appropriate. Indeed, when worn with my usual polo, it can look surprisingly snappy! Even on my non-work days, golf shorts with their own side pockets are a favorite of mine. As for Bermuda shorts, I could never imagine wearing anything like taht with a dressy jacket. But I wouldn't be ashamed to wear it with the right kind of long-sleeve, casual shirt (polo or button-down), or even some practical kind of shirt-jacket or safari jacket.

ALL short are pretty much automatically casual because they're not, you know, PANTS. 5 or 7 inches is actually historically correct, but I think 5" is pretty rare now. The 9" phenomenon was partly or largely a bi-product of the cargo short trend, which technically ended ten or fifteen years ago but was welcome at the time because cutting off military pants never quite worked right because they had the double-knees, but then the mass-market "army" shorts didn't have reinforced seats, so they wouldn't last as long as the trousers. And then the companies went crazy and started adding tons of small, non-functional pockets everywhere when most guys who want cargo pockets just pretty much want one useful large one. Same problem with a lot of hunting jackets and vests.
