I don't know about you guys but I like my shorts above the knee. Of course this isn't always appropriate, but when fun and frolics in the sun are involved, and I've been hitting the gym or cycling, I'm all for getting the knobbly knees out. I must say, these shorts from Warriors of Radness probably should be worn when cycling, I reckon the mouse might get out of the house if you haven't got the right undies on! Madness.


Warriors of Radness, LA surfer/skater brand via oki-ni

Lacost Live via oki-ni. Best Colour for shorts I've seen so far simply because of the salmon orangey-pink coloring and short straight cut.



For tailored shorts like these and the Lacoste pair above, its always nice to get your roll on, press and maybe sew them in place so you don't have to adjust when your out and about.

ASOS own brand have done very well with the cut, composition, colour and cost of this garment. Hopefully they are easy to care for and last the summer, and the next.

p.s. for Denim shorts, only Levi's (especially 501's or 511's) will be tolerated, for guys (and dolls). American apparel acid wash (bleached punk style) are acceptable I suppose...

Limoland Currency-Print Swim Shorts. Lovely little short shorts for foreign festivals and, sun seeking and sailing! I must say it is rather tempting to say the print is nice from far but far from nice. Hit or Miss, I think you'll either love it or hate it.


Jet setting is tough for fashionistos, when they are rather few stylish options for functional travel ware. Fear not, this leather and cotton canvas case can brighten up a dreary luggage conveyor belt in any airport and with dimensions of 22" by 14" and 7"deep you may be able to squeeeeze it in to hand luggage, avoiding scratches and bumps from the holds. Teeny tiny wheels make this case exceptionally useful, even the gym buffs will agree, breaking a sweat whilst on holiday from heavy lifting is a definite no. Seeing as Wilson have been making dry goods since 1890 I wouldn't worry about it falling apart.

If you've got a bean head like mine or you simply have good taste in head ware, most likely you'll like this quality Panama hat made by the consistent team at Alfred Dunhill. Interestingly, the Panama hat was made famous by President Roosevelt Theadore. Hmmmm

Well who could say no, really! Field jacket meets fishing jacket and creates this beautiful offspring! Aiiish!
