In this episode, editor John Zientek joins to talk about the quintessential summer garment: shorts. As common as shorts are, there’s still a lot to think about, like where they’re appropriate to wear, and what length to buy. Plus, there are seemingly endless styles out there–from activewear to corduroy to cargo and back again.
John talks through it all, and gives plenty of style advice that will apply not just to shorts but to your entire wardrobe. We end the conversation with three specific recommendations for your next shorts purchase.
