Chalky Chinos

At GQ, we're into wearing bright hues that are all washed-out and faded. It's the low-key way to rep more color.

The Retro Hiker

Good riddance to a lot of '70s style, but we do dig the return of patch-pocket cord shorts.

A Muted Plaid

Take madras back from the Nantucket set with dark, muted colors instead of garish plaids.

Camp Shorts

The diagonal pockets give these their workwear appeal; roll the legs up for a personal spin.

Slim Denim

Buy them slim, buy them pre-distressed, and never, ever call them "jorts."

Tennis Whites

Pay homage to Björn Borg, even off the court. These can get you to the gym for a workout or your local park for some day-drinking.

Go-to-Hell Shorts

In a crazier color combo, this pattern would be swimsuit-only, but the almost-black navy base tones it down enough for dry land.

Polka Chinos

Dots: the shorts of the future. Because at this point, plain old chinos just feel a little square.
