The longer evenings are already a nice change of pace, however, they’re still a bit too crisp for you to be switching completely to the summer section of your wardrobe. Especially in my European locale, anyway. When summer is finally in full effect, these belters (pun very much intended) from Nepenthes family member South2 West8 should be high on your shortlist.
The Belted CS Short has been a mainstay in the S/S offering of S2 W8 which means you’ll find the usual features here in the form of; a triple-stitched center seam, overlapping side pockets, a belted waist to ensure a custom fit, and that synonymous wide fit. This iteration, however, is made from oxford cloth woven from 100% nylon. You’d expect to find oxford on shirting or formal shorts, but by weaving this fabric from nylon, it keeps these shorts within South2 West8’s technical aesthetic equilibrium.
The choice of green or black means these should slot seamlessly into any rotation and the iconic branding hit on the leg and belt strap will show you’re serious about shorts.
Available from Sun House for $162.
