What really struck me was the article just below... many of my male friends complain about how difficult it is for them to innovate with their outfits, a task many times frustrating and ungrateful. It's true that a lot has been done in regards to colour, tailoring, accessories for men thanks to the work and vision of great designers who opened the door to this fearsom universe so unkown and unexplored. Still, one clothing item remains a taboo after all these years: the city shorts!
In the opinion of many men, shorts are synonym of holidays, weekends with families and friends or even tourists. Gladly not for fashion designers Comme des Garçons, Giorgio Armani and Louis Vuitton, who see the well tailored city shorts the next summer's trend that is there to stay.
It will depend entirely on men if this trend is restricted to the catwalks or if it jumps to the high street... the first step has already been taken.
