Men's Shorts
Ten in the morning on Ocean Drive, Miami Beach. The pastel façades are already warm, the sand is a block away and the day has no dress code. Men’s shorts in terry handle the beach, the café and the walk back without a change. Baindoux makes two: Sun-City and the Sky Short, both in Giza cotton.
Short shorts or Bermuda?
Shorts are trousers that end above or around the knee. Men’s shorts range from short shorts at mid-thigh to Bermuda shorts just above the knee. Casual shorts have an elastic or drawstring waist; tailored shorts have a waistband with a button.
Bermuda, 1914
The tailored short for men starts in Bermuda. In 1914, the Bermudian tea shop owner Nathaniel Coxon shortened the uniform trousers of his staff to keep them cool in summer. The British Army, stationed in Bermuda during World War I, adopted the shorter cut for tropical and desert climates. In the 1920s and 1930s, shorts became leisure wear for holidays in the sun.
Shorts, then and now
In 1948, Vogue first used the name “Bermuda shorts”. In 1954, The New Yorker reported rising sales of Bermuda shorts at Brooks Brothers, while some hotels and clubs still refused them. In Bermuda, a Bermuda short with knee socks, a shirt, a tie and a blazer counts as business attire to this day.
Modern mens summer shorts sit higher: mid-thigh, with a relaxed fit for the beach and a clean finish for the city. Baindoux cuts its shorts in terry, the looped cotton of a towel, in 100% Giza cotton. Terry absorbs sea water, so mens terry shorts go from the water to the terrace. Giza cotton holds dye, so the colours stay bright after many summers. Properties of Giza cotton covers the fibre; Baindoux craftsmanship covers the making.
How to wear men's shorts
To wear mens short shorts with style, keep the proportions clean.
- Tucked tees or polos, so the waistband shows.
- Matching shirts like the Sky Shirt, for a matching set with the Sky Short.
- Loafers or clean sneakers, without socks.
- Light blazers, like The Royal, over shorts for a Riviera evening look.
Both Baindoux shorts end above the knee. Sun-City has a waistband with a metal logo button and slanted side pockets; the Sky Short has a relaxed cut with contrast details.
Miami Beach, hour by hour
Ten o’clock. Breakfast on Ocean Drive. Sun-City, our terry short with a metal logo button, in Sand with a white T-shirt and white sneakers. The soft terry keeps it comfortable from breakfast to the beach.
One o’clock. Lunch by the pool. The Sky Short, our relaxed terry short with a red lobster on the back pocket, in Dark Blue with a white polo. After a swim, the terry absorbs the water, so lunch starts without a change of clothes.
Five o’clock. A walk through the Art Deco district. Sun-City in Pink with a white shirt and loafers. The pink matches the pastel façades along the way.
Eight o’clock. Drinks on a rooftop. The Sky Short in White / Club Blue with the matching Sky Shirt in the same colours. Shirt and short together read as one outfit, dressed enough for a rooftop bar.
Colour combinations that work in the sun:
- Olive with white and tan loafers.
- Red with a navy polo.
- Dark Blue with a white shirt and a Club Blue blazer.
