LONG DAYS,
SHORT LENGTHS

Nine looks, one afternoon, and the shortest hemline of the summer.

Tailoring worn like sportswear. Checks under sheer mesh. A handkerchief knotted over a T-shirt as if it were a tie. The shorts story for MMXXVI is not about less fabric — it is about what a man does with the confidence the heat gives him.

The T-shirt, taken seriously

A plain T-shirt is the least interesting thing a man can own, which is precisely why it rewards attention. Knot something at the throat and it stops being underwear.

At the barre

Running shorts and tulle gloves. The pairing sounds like a provocation and photographs like a discipline — the athletic and the theatrical have always shared a wardrobe.

All in white

The last look is the simplest and the hardest: stripes, a T-shirt, an oversized shirt worn off one shoulder, and a pair of amber lenses to close the afternoon.
