Which shorts to choose depending on the occasion?

As soon as summer arrives, shorts become a wardrobe essential for men. However, not every style is suitable for every occasion. Whether it’s a day at the beach, a stroll through the city, a barbecue with friends, or a summer evening out, choosing the right pair of shorts makes all the difference.

At BILLYBELT, we have developed several ranges of men's shorts, each designed for a specific purpose and crafted from quality materials with meticulous attention to detail. Discover which shorts to choose based on your activities and personal style.

Looking for a casual look with a unique touch? Velvet shorts are a great choice. Crafted from 100% BCI (Better Cotton Initiative) certified cotton, they appeal with their soft texture and slightly vintage feel.

The velvet adds texture to the outfit while remaining comfortable to wear in mild weather. They pair easily with a plain T-shirt, a polo, or a lightweight shirt for a style that is relaxed yet polished.

Perfect for:

• weekends and vacations;
• seaside strolls;
• drinks on the terrace;
• summer evenings.

These shorts, made from 100% BCI-certified cotton, are arguably the most versatile option. Lightweight, comfortable, and breathable, they are perfect for any summer day.

Their timeless style means they pair just as well with a T-shirt as with a linen shirt or a polo. Available in a range of colors, they suit every taste and wardrobe.

Ideal for:

• days in the city;
• vacations;
• outings with friends;
• family meals.

If you are looking for a comfortable pair of men's shorts to wear all summer long, this is an excellent choice.

When the occasion calls for a slightly dressier look without sacrificing comfort, these GOTS-certified 100% organic cotton Bermuda shorts are the natural choice.

Their slightly longer cut gives them an elegant feel, perfect for creating a chic summer outfit. Thanks to the GOTS-certified organic cotton, they offer exceptional quality while being manufactured in compliance with rigorous environmental and social standards.

Pair them with a shirt, a woven belt, and sneakers or loafers for a refined summer look.

Perfect for:

• dining on the terrace;
• summer events;
• outings where a polished look is appreciated;
• chic vacations.

Before choosing your shorts, ask yourself three questions:

- What is the occasion? A relaxing day, a trip into town, or a dressier event?
- What level of comfort are you looking for? Natural materials like cotton offer excellent breathability throughout the day.
- What style do you want to go for? Casual with velvet, versatile with cotton, or more elegant with Bermuda shorts.

By choosing a quality material and a cut suited to your plans, you can make the most of summer while staying comfortable.

Choosing the right shorts depends primarily on the occasion and the style you are aiming for. For a casual yet distinctive look, opt for velvet shorts. If you are looking for a versatile style for everyday wear, cotton shorts are your best bet. Finally, for a more elegant summer outfit, organic cotton Bermuda shorts are the ideal choice. Whatever your preference, you will enjoy quality materials, optimal comfort, and a style designed to see you through the entire summer.
