Most items with polka dots are a little too reminiscent of either (being played out like) Kwame or the stuff gramps used to sport back in his fly days. Today’s Buy It Now, however, takes an updated view on the pattern and makes it look cool again. Straight from Sydney’s ultra-hip skater/surfer/artist brand Insight comes an item we most definitely co-sign.
Featuring clean lines, two buttons on the front, and a convenient pocket on the side (for the stash), these shorts are perfect for clean, classy comfort. For details, pics, and Buy It Now info, see below.

Ever feel like rockin’ athletic shorts outside of the courts? We understand you want to be comfortable, but relying on your old gym shorts will make you look foolish. Instead, check out these shorts by No Mas. Continuing to marry nostalgic sports references with street-fashion, the brand cranked out these nylon bangers that make for the ultimate chill-wear during hot summer days. The red shorts pay tribute to the Cincinnati Reds, whose nickname was the “Big Red Machine” while they dominated the MLB from 1970 to 1976. Act like you know, and see below for pics of the two colorways and Buy It Now info…

The ladies are wearing less and less these days, which leaves the fellas to bust out their…uh, shorts. Cargo shorts are still the old standby, but lately we’ve seen a lot of plaid shorts creeping on the streets. Full-length plaid pants are a little much but the colorful patterns seem to work better with shorts—perfect for the onset of summer. But are plaid shorts all-good like Tiger Woods? Or are they Dick-el-son like Mickelson? Tell us how you feel by voting on whether to ‘HUMP’ or ‘DUMP’ the trend below…

FOH: Menswear sites that style their models in chancletas. The King of New York DOES NOT WEAR SANDALS.
Good or bad news first? Good news: Online shopping is immediate and fun, and it’s gonna be over 70 degrees in NYC on Saturday. Bad news: You have to wait for your purchase to arrive, and the weather’s gonna cool off by Sunday. That’s the thing: Buy It Now is technically an accurate name for our daily post, but wearing it now is impossible, at least until next week. But you know what? Fuck it. The heat won’t really hit until next month and you’re gonna need more than one pair of shorts this summer.
Today’s featured item is the Wino Shorts from Obey—look closely and you can peep details like the pinstripe pattern and slash pockets. Yeah, it’s Shepard Fairey’s line, but no need to hate: Obey makes some simple, quality pieces at reasonable prices. (If you’re passing through Boston, be sure to check out Fairey’s exhibit at the ICA.) For Buy It Now info and a detail pic, see below…

Shhh…be verrrrry quiet. The toes are coming!!! Nah, it’s not full-on sandal season yet, but we did get a tantalizing teaser during yesterday’s sunny weather. And when the ladies start rocking open-toes, it’s only a matter of time before you’ll be wearing shorts. We don’t recommend getting your Nordic-ice-warrior on quite yet (don’t be that dude) but try a little delayed gratification for a change and stockpile for next month.
Today’s Buy It Now is the Heavy Slub Jersey Pants from Splendid Mills—wait, is “Heavy Slub” a pause? Either way, the shorts tread that fine line between relax/lounge gear and some “fuck it, it’s summer”/everyday wear. It’s Splendid so you know it’s gonna be comfortable and soft to the skin. You know you like it soft. For Buy It Now info and a bunch of detail pics, see below…
