"Morning everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend! To ease into this Monday let&amp;#x27;s chat about something I recently read. In the Sunday The New York Times I stumbled across an interesting article on men wearing shorts. It said that a common belief among many stylish tastemakers is that guys of a certain age and status can&amp;#x27;t wear shorts and be taken seriously. Do you agree?In a guide on &amp;amp;#8220;How to Be a Modern Gentleman&amp;amp;#8221; in AnOther Magazine, designer Tom Ford says &amp;quot;A man should never wear shorts in the city.&amp;amp;#8221; But in trendy neighborhoods like Williamsburg, Brooklyn and the Lower East Side of New York, that is so not the case, argues writer, John Ortved. &amp;quot;Well-dressed men can be spotted at brunch, running errands and going to the flea market in dress shorts, often worn with summer blazers and gingham shirts,&amp;quot; he writes. And designers like Thom Browne and Frank Muytjens, the chief men&amp;amp;#8217;s-wear designer for J. Crew, have noticed that men (both in the United States and Europe) are letting their knobby-knee flag fly. So what do you ladies think? Personally, I say a man can wear shorts for certain occasions (on the weekend, outside of the office) and still look put together. I would double take, though, if I saw a man in shorts in a work situation. Discuss! Plus! How is short is too short when it comes to men&amp;#x27;s swim trunks?
