Right now we find ourselves in the most magical time of year, also known as shorts and hoodie season. Whether you're taking a twilight stroll or it's simply a windier-than-usual late summer day, the shorts and hoodie combination is one that will keep you comfortable and stylish until we reach peak winter.

I've thought a lot about why a hoodie and shorts look so great together and have come to the conclusion that it has to do with evoking both a "ready for anything" spirit as well as a casualness that lends itself to more confidence. And, as many know, confidence is the secret ingredient to all style maneuvers. Plus, there's the fact that most sneakers (in fact, almost all) look better when worn with shorts.

By combining these two equally great clothing options, you can unlock a new plane of stylishness. But let's face facts: There are a million different shorts and a million more hoodies, so we've helped break down which ones to wear based on different styles you may be into: from the monochrome and minimal to colorful patterns and combinations. Check out the picks below:

Neutral vibes

Isn’t every color neutral technically? Regardless, pairing this shade of grey with moss green is a nice way to step into fall.

Black & Yellow

Even if Wiz never made that song we’d still be finding ways to try and match these perfect colors.

Pleasantly Aware

Both brands embed research into its clothing so this ‘fit is bound to work on multiple levels.

HS ‘fit

The best part about this look is the 400gsm hoodie that makes up for what you’re (purposefully) lacking underneath.

Check out my Souvenir

If the Stone Island patch isn’t enough to impress the locals in your hood you can always bedazzle them with this Souvenir hoodie.

Centered

Grey and navy go together like peanut butter and jelly. Lucky for you this fit is easier to pull off than wearing a sandwich.

Pattern on solid

Contrast pockets are always a good look. The olive green hoodie adds a touch of serenity to this tranquil fit.

Monochrome

You can never go wrong with a timeless black and white combo. Think of this fit as a comfy alternative to that tuxedo you rented that one time...

Let your shorts do the talking

There’s denim shorts, and then there’s Loewe denim shorts. Paired with our Bar Basso hoodie you’ll blend right in for those evening cocktails.
