Whether your approach is smart, sporty or sexy (or all of the above: women contain multitudes!), this summer’s array of shorts will have you covered. From the classic Bermuda to boxer briefs, tailored to casual linen, these 12 pairs from local brands will encourage you to get your legs out.
Many come with a matching short-sleeved shirt – a modernised and more casual version of the leisure suit – while others are made to be worn simply, with a simple plain tee or tank. Whatever style you choose, and wherever you choose to wear it – say the beach, or the office – it’ll conjure a holiday state of mind.
