When traveling to a tropical destination, the last thing you want to do is lug around your entire wardrobe. While its best to be prepared for any occasion, you can do so with only three essential pairs of shorts. With this in mind, below you will find a list of three shorts that every man should bring along for their tropical getaway, whether youre traveling for business, pleasure, or a bit of both.
Swim Trunks – Whether you plan on doing vast amounts of swimming or simply lounging by the pool, a complimentary pair of swim trunks is an essential part of your tropical wardrobe. Beach attire usually doesnt consist of khaki or denim shorts, so select a swim style and length that fits your taste. A word of caution for those who plan on swimming often: avoid wearing board shorts (length below the knee) as those are made from heavy material which makes maneuvering in the water difficult. With all that added weight, they also tend to fall off upon exiting the water, which usually isnt ideal in a public place. Instead, select a pair made from light material and hit at or above the knee for maximum movement and quick drying.
Khaki Shorts – A crisp pair of khaki shorts are a definite must for your tropical getaway. Its a guaranteed way to be formal in a relaxed environment in the event that you need to dress up for dinner or a round of golf. When paired with a nice polo shirt, leather belt, and boat shoes, youll be sure to make a sophisticated impression whilst still maintaining the relaxed vacation vibe. Make sure these shorts make it into your suitcase to ensure that you can be seen in any social setting without embarrassment.
Casual Cargo Shorts – Finally, you need a casual pair to walk around downtown, hike along the coastline, or just for lounging around at the local pub. Swim trunks usually arent very functional as they offer little protection and rarely have secure pockets. Khaki shorts also are rather sparse in the pocket category and are usually starchy with little room for movement. Instead, a nice pair of casual cargo shorts will have plenty of room for hiking or extended walking, breathable for hotter climates, and also offer many pockets to store your cell phone, wallet, keys, and other important items. When selecting a pair of cargo shorts, try to find one that has secure pockets (zippers instead of buttons) which will help ensure that your valuables do not jump out accidentally.
Whether youre planning a weekend road trip or going on a tropical honeymoon, make sure you bring along these three styles of shorts. Not only will you have every possible occasion covered (beachside, formal and casual), but youll look stylish while doing so.
