Summer Aware: Designer Shorts That Keep You Cool in Style
As the UK basks in its latest wave of summer sunshine, it’s time to get serious about your warm-weather wardrobe — and that starts with a great pair of shorts. But not just any shorts. We’re talking about designer styles that blend functionality with finesse, pieces that breathe, move, and elevate your look from casual to curated.
Whether you're city-bound, festival-ready or jetting off to sunnier shores, Daniele Fiesoli Shorts and Thom Krom Shorts lead the way in design-led summer dressing. Built for movement, refined in detail and crafted with fabrics that work with the heat, these shorts don’t just fit the season — they define it.
Daniele Fiesoli Shorts: Italian Ease and Understated Cool
With roots in Italian knitwear craftsmanship, Daniele Fiesoli brings his signature eye for luxury texture and colour to his summer shorts. Expect lightweight fabrics like cotton-linen blends and jersey that feel soft against the skin and allow for excellent breathability when the temperature rises.
Daniele Fiesoli Shorts aren’t about over-the-top branding or loud styling. Instead, they focus on subtle tailoring, relaxed fits and premium construction. This makes them a perfect choice for anyone seeking a refined but unfussy summer look — ideal with a simple polo or open shirt and some low-profile sneakers.
Whether you’re dressing for a smart-casual lunch or strolling through coastal towns, these shorts balance versatility with quiet elegance. They’re also a go-to gift for the style-conscious man who appreciates detail without the drama.
Thom Krom Shorts: Urban Utility for the Heatwave
On the other side of the style spectrum, Thom Krom Shorts deliver a cooler, more industrial take on warm-weather dressing. Known for his raw, architectural design language, Thom Krom reimagines summer staples through the lens of form and function.
Take the Thom Krom M P 12 Drawstring Shorts in Black — they blend comfort and edge in all the right ways. Featuring an elastic waistband with drawstrings, hidden zip pockets, and a safety inner pocket, they’re engineered for movement and practicality. The washed cotton/elastane blend gives them a lived-in look and natural stretch, while still feeling ultra-light on the leg.
These shorts are made in Portugal and constructed with the same level of detail as Thom Krom’s signature trousers and jackets, which means they hold their shape, retain structure, and offer an effortless silhouette when paired with one of the brand’s sculptural tees or zip-up tops.
Whether you’re off to an art gallery opening or just want to look sharp during your coffee run, Thom Krom Shorts give you that streetwear-meets-luxury feel that’s hard to match.
Why Designer Shorts Deserve a Place in Your Wardrobe
It’s tempting to treat shorts as throwaway fashion – something quick, cheap, and simple for a few weeks of the year. But in reality, they’re one of the most-worn items of the season, and investing in quality pays off. Great shorts don’t just look better — they last longer, feel cooler, and hold their shape wear after wear.
What both Daniele Fiesoli and Thom Krom prove is that function and form can work in harmony. One offers Mediterranean ease and texture-rich detail, the other brings monochrome utility with urban sophistication — but both are designed with summer at their core.
