A Shorts story

Over the last few seasons, men's shorts have made their presence felt as key wardrobe basics, which can take you from the gym to a bar with some clever styling tricks thrown in. Traditionally synonymous with running, athletic gear, and holiday wear, it's hard to overlook the new-age shorts' impact on mainstream fashion. Style mavens like Paul Mescal can easily be credited for their wide popularity and acceptance. The Normal People star attended a brand's fashion show in Milan a few months ago in a pair of boxer shorts, almost breaking the internet. One look at Paul's street style photos, and it can be easily deduced that the actor loves a good pair of micro shorts - whether he's hitting the gym or attending a major red carpet event. 

Globally, different brands have lent these shorts a fun edge, which makes their styling playful. There are fitted variations with zipper accents and logo-embossed shorts apt for leisure activities like gardening or a weekend in the country. In India too, designers have showcased edgier versions of shorts in striking prints and sporty split seams on the side, making them impossibly apt for a pool party or a walk on the beach.
