The Short List: The Best Shorts Brands For Men
Summer is here and those legs don't tan on their own. That's why it's time to ditch the long pants and go for something a little more suitable for warmer weather. Of course, we are talking about shorts.
Whether you're a fan of shorts or not, their many benefits
during the summer months are hard to deny. They'll keep you cool when
temperatures skyrocket, encourage your legs to develop a tanned glow, and let's
face it, they're infinitely more comfortable than their leggy cousins.

So where do you start? There are many styles of shorts and
many different brands that make them. So for easier digestion, we've divided
your shorts options into four key categories and detailed some of our favorite
brands for each.
