AT GUIDOMAGGI we aspire to keep our finger on the pulse of contemporary couture, to ensure you can get the most out of your footwear by accompanying it with apt accessories and alluring apparel
With jeans and joggers confined to their regular summer incarceration within wardrobes and drawers, sightings of bolder lower-limb attire have become increasingly common as a broader spectrum of shorts become available to the male market.
Recent years have seen a smorgasbord of noteworthy cut-offs at price points to suit all budgets, with a welcome return to the fore for pithier threads — the fusty adage of ‘nothing below the knee’ irrevocably confined to obsolescence.
Style conscious celebs such as Joey Essex and Pharrell Williams have blazed a trail for tailored shorts, bringing a new swag to the mainstream while receiving appreciative nods to their roles as gallant catalysts within an oft-neglected market sector.
Meanwhile, musicians Harry Styles and Tinie Tempah have opted for laissez-faire configurations; vivid standard and cargo fits recently spotted flanking their thighs in denim and 2-ply cotton respectively.
Styles, known for his love of all things Gucci, combines designer five-inch jean shorts — AKA jorts — alongside statement shoes and one tone tees to create distinct strains of 80s chic, met with the approval of fashionistas and fans alike.
But you don’t need to break the bank to find the right shorts to supplement your new Guidomaggi shoes.
Whether you adore shorter cut-offs or are open to embracing a longer short, your legs will appreciate you investing in a pair from our expertly compiled list below.
Cos organic denim shorts
This timeless slim fit short is crafted from organic cotton, ensuring a combination of robustness and effortless versatility seamlessly coupling with most of the items in your summer collection.
With semi-stretch material, Cos works on the ethos of making its products 100% circularity, meaning any discarded items can be reused — although these beauties are expected to last at least ten years, irrespective of how often you stick them on.

The Elder Statesman striped organic cotton-knitted shorts
These multi-coloured, startling shorts are hand-knitted in Peru by expert artisans, who use organic cotton to create a unique and audacious choice of short.
The quality of the textured seed stitch gives a bobbled effect to these trendy short-shorts, which yearn for dark accompaniment both on the torso and feet.
