August is very hot on numbers. Mercury crawled through “discomfort” and fell into “existence crisis” as you were busy pretending that June would last forever. Your jeans are now a medieval torture device. Your twill? Sweat sauna with belt loops. That last minute trip to mykonos you just booked? Yes, those cargo shorts from 2003 have not been cut.
Here’s the thing about the last scene of summer: it requires respect. When 95 degrees, the sun was bright and the subway platform felt like Satan’s waiting room. The shorts you need to wear work harder than the excuse of leaving work early. Shorts that can survive a rooftop party in Williamsburg, this is the Hampton wedding that can still show off when you sweat under the safety of Newark.
We’ve assembled a dozen pairs, and these pairs are able to understand the task – from a rental fee under $100 that doesn’t exceed your lease to an Italian figure, it’s more expensive than your monthly car rental. Everyone solves a specific problem: the meeting with Marina’s hub, “I Absolutely Exercise” deception, European vacation role-playing. Because when the city turns into a convection oven and your August calendar looks like a social Russian game, right shorts are not only clothes, but also warm weather survival gear. Below, 15 pairs can be added to your cart.
