It's time to let your legs get some sun, folks, courtesy of the best shorts for men this season. Past #OOTD entries have gone a bit more rugged, but no less casual and cool, like how to wear chukka boots this summer. Others have even shown you how to wear lightweight chinos -- as in, this guide on how to wear a henley for men. But with all that being said, we're lightening things up and going even more casual and laidback than that. Consider this the first of many posts on how to wear shorts for men this summer -- and not just any shorts, but the best men's shorts. They're comin' at ya, naturally, from Huckberry. Would you expect anything else? I certainly hope not. We're wearing 'em here (or rather, I'm recommending that you wear these shorts this way in the future) with other rugged, easygoing basics.
That makes this the kind of #OOTD fit for summer's most lofty pursuits or its most basic, whatever that means for you. To me, it means record shopping and brewery hopping, cold beer in hand all the while (or at least, after I've got my records in hand). If you already know what the majority of your summer entails, and if it involves fun in the sun -- which I guarantee it does -- then my guide on how to wear shorts for summer should prove mighty handy. I won't keep you here any longer, though. All the shopping tips you need for the best men's shorts can be found below.
- The Shorts: Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts, $64 -- I've talked plenty about the Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts, which come in both a 7-inch and a 9-inch inseam (think longer if you're taller). Fact of the matter is, they're the best shorts for men if you want effective, quality style.

The key starts, first and foremost, with finding the best shorts for the occasion -- in this case, a pair of shorts like the Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts, in an agreeable inseam and a classic color. They're an ideal pairing with a piece that's also an upgrade to your typical tee -- one of the most stylish sustainable shirts ought to get the job done for breezy weekend style. Things don't let up from there, though. Your Taylor Stitch bomber jacket is going to offer up lightweight comfort and necessary protection from the elements, all the while looking just great.

Wrap it all up -- and get from point A to point B -- with a rugged Filson bag, the kind you'll have for years and years to come. No matter where this #OOTD takes you, it's going to take you there in style. See you out there, my friends.
