Shorts suits: are you man enough? Suits from Universal Works

Tuesday, 21 July 2015

I try to be adventurous on the blog, often pushing my comfort envelope in my search for style. Shorts suits tend not to get a good press, so I thought I'd rise to this challenge to see what the fuss is about. After some preliminary nerves (a sixty-year old in shorts) we had good time photographing this feature, appropriate for clothes associated with summer sun and fun. I'm grateful to Universal Works, who supplied the suits, Sarah Gilfillan of Sartoria Lab, who styled it, and Nick Maroudias, who not only did the photography, but was persuaded to model as well (links below).

Comfortable, stylish (possibly), fun (certainly) and ideal for travel and work in the sun, I have to admit to being a convert. See Universal Works for their jacket and matching shorts combinations. For other suppliers, see below.
