Shorts

sean o'pry for h&m / ph: h&m

in about a month's time, i will be heading towards sunny spain for a week long beach vacation. while i have my sunnies, flip flops, hats and beach towels ready, i am still looking for beach shorts and a beach tone body. while the latter is all sold out in stores, there are a few interesting swim shorts choices which i will most probably pack for my trip.

not exactly sure if anyone's still reading at this point as sean o'pry is rather distracting in all that perfection. i love that pair of shorts, am sure him looking hot in them has nothing to do with it. £7.99 from h&m (him & me?), i will definitely pick up a pair this weekend. please let me find one in stores.

topman design "swim short project" / ph: topman

on may 23rd, topman will launch "the swim short project", hey what perfect timing! they will be collaborating with a series of designers and artistes, including bernhard willhelm, jonathan saunders, cassette playa, set designer gary card and blogger/photographer todd selby. the shorts which i am most keen on however, is the one above from in-house topman design. their design is a beige short with contrast orange drawstring and a print of an old fashioned bicycle over the front and back of the short.

i thought it's pretty cool. should i get this? £50 from topman.com from may 23rd.

paul smith "monsters" shorts / ph: paul smith

beach wear is about having fun, so i really love this "monsters" shorts from paul smith. this is a little long, a shorter version of this is available from selfridges, which i really like.

orlebar brown geometric shorts / ph: mr porter

and of course i will be bringing my new orlebar brown geometric print shorts. i can't wait to wear this to the beach! and i'll also bring my navy blue orlebar brown bulldog shorts with gold buckle. so that's two pairs sorted, i need to find another three pairs and all will be good. thing is the shorts are so light weight, might as well pack one for each day. i love the shorts above, as those are versatile enough to take me into the waters as well as drinks by the bar.

any other nice shorts you will recommend?
