Double Tap to Zoom

The world of shorts is a difficult one to navigate. Inseam lengths, materials, liners — there’s a lot to consider when it comes to picking the perfect pair for you. Another thing you need to consider is why you’re buying them. Are they going to be used for activities, covered in sand, mud, and whatever else, or are they for the more refined aspects of life? If it’s the latter, then you’re in the market for a pair of luxury shorts.

Luxury shorts are often overlooked for their fuss-free, sports-leaning, and much cheaper counterparts. But there’s a lot going for luxury shorts if you cop the right pair. Summertime dressing can fall into the trap of looking scruffy if you’re not careful, but with the help of shorts from the likes of Dries Van Noten, Bottega Veneta, or Burberry, you’ll be looking sharp even when the heat’s up.

With the help of Mytheresa who is currently offering free US shipping on all orders over $300 and free returns, we’ve detailed some of the best luxury shorts to whet the tastebuds. Bold cuts and high-end materials distinguish them from the masses.
