Great selection, man. I particularly love the army shorts, and they fit you so well. I seem to always go for a sporty look when wearing shorts (annoyingly...), so I appreciate all the outfit ideas.
Nice selection. I hate shorts too and just wear out of necessity. It’s been VERY hot and humid over here in the NYC area. My gotos are Lululemon pacebreaker shorts. They’re a perfect fit for me for all my casual summer outfits. Also got linen H&M shorts that are holding up well.
These are all a really good selection of shorts! I really like them all. Definitely going to be looking into them as we get into high summer and we won’t be dipping under 32C until mid September
I’ve never bought denim shorts. I always turn jeans into jorts when it’s time for new jeans. Also, I did have one of my DIY jort jobs hemmed, but that was a mistake.
I've said it before, but I *love* your tattoos - I've just noticed the rabbit/hare above your left knee. Not to downplay the amount of work you've clearly put into this video, which I did enjoy incidentally, but I think your tattoos are exquisite!
For a more budget friendly option for the first ones, Uniqlo sells a courdroy short in almost the exact color for about 1/4th the price. Less boxy of a fit.
This is the year I really been getting into shorts. Linen, hemp, sateen fatigues, combat cargos, corduroy, denim, patagonia baggies, etc. But personally I cant get on board with the tapered shorts, it feels like a indentity crisis of still trying to look like pants. I like to lean into what shorts are, they look and feel best to me when they are relaxed and boxy so they hang free and flow easy.
@@JamesLeung Well, we do have blue-collar workers who wear shorts at work (but they're covered up in a fab bunny suit in the fab facility). Then the company offered shorts with compressive tights for the company's sports day event, but some folks were too uncomfortable with that so they offered jogging pants as an alternative. Many of us change our shoes to sandals in the office, but we keep our socks on.
I’d love to pull off shorts but I’m so self-conscious of my thick thighs. James said he doesn’t work out his legs much but how I wished for slimmer legs for a big chunk of my life and probably still do a bit
Do you or anyone scrolling know where I can get affordable high waisted pants from either uniqlo Abercrombie or somewhere in those brands’ price range?
I get your point but “good quads” is very subjective. Like your quads probably look terrible to a lot of people, doesn’t mean you should pay them any mind or stop wearing shorts. Same thing could be applied about tank tops if you don’t have “good biceps”. I don’t want to sweat in long sleeves and pants all summer so however my body looks to other people is honestly more of a problem for them( if that’s such a concern for them )than it is for me😂
@@Venumb. I get what you mean. Dont get me wrong Im not trying to gatekeep. I personally just think that exposing skinny legs with shorts looks unaesthetic, it looks proportionally off, espcially if you combine it with a relaxed shirt. Its the same reason I also think skinny jeans with a hoodie, which was thing for quite a while back then, looked terrible.
Nice selection man and the adidas ones are sick! I had a pair last year but got rid of them and regret it now.
Thanks Harry 🙏 you can have mine if you fit a medium haha, I definitely shoulda gone small
they are nice, but way too short for me lol
"allowing me to show off how little I work out my legs."
LOL
Solid gold brother!
Haha I’ve gotta be honest!! 🤣
I love all the outfits you showed today. I think they look really, really good!! The swimming shorts in particular, I think it looks awesome 👏
Thanks so much!
2:45 James self combusting with that burn 😅
🤣
I’m glad you found your personal style and teaching others to do the same.
Thank you man! 🙏

Thank you brother! I’m the same as you, so trying to branch out a bit
I’m really not into carpenter shorts but those Carhartts look *perfect.*
I was the same as you, when these arrived I loved them more than I thought I would!

I’ve heard good things about them! Can’t go wrong with linen shorts mate 👍
Good video james 👍
but we need the sun to come its just rain all the time mate
Very true! Actually sunny today though which is rare!!
Looking to get those swimming short shorts as this weather gets hotter
Good idea!!
These are all a really good selection of shorts! I really like them all. Definitely going to be looking into them as we get into high summer and we won’t be dipping under 32C until mid September
Glad you liked them mate! You’re so lucky, we probably won’t even hit 30 this entire summer in UK!!
Mate this is for arts kids who like street style. Not me but certain for some folks. Great work
Thank you! 🙏
Great variety of shorts to choose from! As always, spot on 🎯
Thank you man!
I’ve never bought denim shorts. I always turn jeans into jorts when it’s time for new jeans. Also, I did have one of my DIY jort jobs hemmed, but that was a mistake.
Thank you for including OVER DYED shorts in the video! Hope the shorts serve you well.
Wishing you all good.
Cezar of OVER DYED

My favorite swim shorts are Nike swim volley 5”
Good choice!

Thank you bro 🙏 I’m hoping to get more but they’re just so expensive!
This was a short(s) video... Okay, see ya next week :D
🤣🙏
Love your filming companion!
Haha she was enjoying herself!

Nice man, thanks for the suggestion 🙏
Another great video James. Have a good day. ✌️
Thanks mate 🙏
"They hit right on the upper thigh, allowing me to show off how little I work out my legs" 😆
🤣
the pearl necklace is so good!
Thanks! 🙏
I had a vintage pair of jorts that were sewn at the hem and I cut it off to give it that look and it’s way better
Ahh nice man, you’ve convinced me to do it now!!

Yeah I know what you mean. I like to experiment with both!
Incredible work James! You are amazing! ❤
Thank you very much!
One time I visited the UK in late November and was spooked to see someone wearing shorts.
I’ve seen people in flip flops and shorts when it’s raining here! 🤣

"Cargo Shorts will never go out of style" bro were you asleep in the 2010s 🤣 the backlash was fierce
you should do a full wardobe tour
Good idea 👍
Thanks for sharing James
Thanks for watching man!
Thank you for validating my choice to wear swim shorts when I’m nowhere near a body of water. 😅
Haha 🤣🙏
SHORT one today, but that's alright quality vid as always
Short shorts video indeed!
I’d love to pull off shorts but I’m so self-conscious of my thick thighs. James said he doesn’t work out his legs much but how I wished for slimmer legs for a big chunk of my life and probably still do a bit
No matter how much I worked out my legs they never seemed to grow so I have the opposite problem as you!
nice video. ive been wanting to get some adidas and levis shorts
Thanks bro, hope you enjoy them!
But what about the hat? Looks very cool.
It’s a vintage one off Depop! There’s no brand name unfortunately
Its just so hard James. It is 100 degrees here and I dont love the way shorts look on me. I look squatty and weird
That is crazy heat!!
where's the blue tshirt from that you're wearing at the beginning of the video?
Uniqlo - I’ve linked it in the description for you 👍
Great shorts options, can you share the hat you're wearing?
Thanks! It’s some vintage one off Depop, there’s no brand name unfortunately!
@@JamesLeung That's alright, nice find anyway!
💛💛💛
🙌
Hey James, are you from Wales, or just on the border. I can't pinpoint your accent and it's bothering me!
Yes mate, just outside Cardiff! Which is why it doesn’t sound very Welsh haha
@@JamesLeung ha, cheers mate!
Where are your necklaces from?
Gold one I was given from my parents and Pearl one is from crafted London
@@JamesLeung Awesome. I just ordered the pearls. Glad men wearing pearls now, they look too good not to.
Where's the cap from ?
Just a random vintage one off Depop. There’s no brand name unfortunately!
Do you or anyone scrolling know where I can get affordable high waisted pants from either uniqlo Abercrombie or somewhere in those brands’ price range?
The Uniqlo women’s jeans are usually higher waisted and reasonably priced 👍
@@JamesLeung thank you so much!
damn, i’m 5’10 and 223 pounds 😭😭
All muscle!
@@JamesLeung i can only hope so 😅😭 thanks, brother
the short shorts look is so played out and stale
Im gonna get hate for this but if you dont have good quads, exposing them with shorts is not a good look.
I get your point but “good quads” is very subjective. Like your quads probably look terrible to a lot of people, doesn’t mean you should pay them any mind or stop wearing shorts. Same thing could be applied about tank tops if you don’t have “good biceps”.

Nice video i really like slim shorts .✨🌟🩵
Thank you! 🙏
The cargo shorts look much better at close up … adidas short shorts look quite nice but need to wear compression shorts underneath otherwise 🫢
Haha yeah maybe a good idea!
