A word on shorts… don’t wear them in anything but the absolute most casual of situations. Usually cotton or linen blend chinos will work just fine. But hot weather and laid back summer get togethers sometimes call for putting away those fancy, uh… fancy pants… and to just wear a pair of damn shorts. Cargo pockets are out. Solids are in. But if you’re looking for a little more fun, a pair of go-to-hell patterend shorts could be the right pick.
Go-to-hell is usually cotton fabric that’s been embroidered with a goofy pattern, which then in turn demands the wearer to have a good amount of confidence. Madras sort of does the same thing, but it might give someone a seizure. Go-to-hell is loud but not over the top. If you’re going to be casual, why not go all out?
