GAP Glen Plaid Flat Front Shorts – $18.75 w/ code NEW (reg. $44.95)

UPDATE: Goodwill and GAP have partnered up for a 30% off in-store promotion.  You bring in your clothes you’d like to donate, & GAP takes 30% off your purchase.  Shorts appear to be on sale in-store through Thursday, making them $17.50 if you clean out your closet and bring in some clothes.  Credit to Wayne and wsgm in the comments.

UPDATE II: You can get 25% off online with the code NEW.  Credit to Average White Guy in the comments.

Finally.  A pair of shorts that are just dressed up enough to separate them from the rest of the khaki chino pack.

Not khaki nor cargo

With a slim profile, flat front, 9″ inseam and just enough pattern, these could be as good as it gets for shorts this summer.  Khaki colored shorts are almost inescapable.  Almost all of us have a pair.  It’s a pair of grey shorts like these that’ll stand out just enough.

The legs really are trim without being tight, they’re 100% cotton, and they’re a great match for a blue polo.  The glen plaid pattern and hook and eye closure make them as formal as shorts can get without being stuffy.

Good for the golf course or the backyard.  Shorts appear grey and the ultra close up at the top should give you an idea of the pattern.

Feel free to wear your slim fit long sleeve button ups with these, but just make sure you roll your sleeves up the “right” way so once they’re up they stay up.
