Ovadia & Sons | Summer Shorts
June 20, 2012
It’s difficult to make shorts look like anything other than weekend wear. Dressing up a pair of shorts is a difficult endeavor that only seems to happen in menswear lookbooks and rarely in the wild. Certainly the idea of “dress shorts” can seem like an oxymoron but Ovadia & Sons’ offerings are breaking the glass ceiling for shorts.
Subtle but significant details like cuffs, waistband curtains and hook and eye closures set these made in the U.S. beauties apart from all other options. And while not every guy is a shorts wearing man, these just might make a gent change his mind. If you are going to branch out this summer and show some leg, opt for Ovadia & Sons.

$200 cut off khakis with paint on them, for spoiled rich kids who have never actually done any painting. This screams “I am a phoney”.
I pay artists more money than that for them to splash paint on canvas for me to hang on my walls. Why wouldn’t I want the good folks at Ovadia & Sons (who are artists in their own right) to create art through their medium of clothing?
I have always viewed clothing as art that I can wear and if a respectable designer(s) want to use paint to enhance and/or exaggerate their clothing, I’m all for it.
I found that as I grew older i preferred to have shorts that end at the knee or slightly above. I’m not sure when the mindset changed but now I’m really digging the rolled up cuffs on shorts and the cutoff look.
Great post!
As a guy who spends a lot of time outdoors in the summer I require lots of different styles of shorts. It is funny though that as I’ve gotten older, i shy away from baggy shorts that fall past my knees and now prefer the cutoff/rolled up cuff look.
It also minimizes the silly shorts tan by moving it up further on the leg.
Great finds
