Now, before all of you start thinking I lost my mind talking about fall and winter style one day and then shorts the next, I have VERY GOOD reasons! The reasons are not just that it's warm somewhere in the world right now (or that it will be again soon enough) or that some of you undoubtedly will be taking a warm weather excursion during the cold weather months.

No, the reasons go way beyond simply those. I found some shorts that aren't your ordinary, everyday shorts.

Taylor Boardshort Co has launched men's boardshorts that reach far beyond swimming. They're a pair of men's shorts that can be taken everywhere. These shorts cross form, function, and affordability, which is what got me so excited.

FORM :: You know how I am always talking about FIT. The most important aspect of style is FIT, and these shorts have a tailored fit. With a fixed waist, the shorts also feature adjustable side waist tabs creating the perfect fit.

FUNCTION :: Another topic I discuss frequently is being able to use pieces interchangeably and styled differently from your wardrobe. These shorts can be taken everywhere and are appropriate anywhere. These shorts are a versatile piece to add to your wardrobe. Swim, quick dry with microfiber, slip on a tee and flip flops, head to the bar, change the shirt, pair with different shoes, hit that dinner reservation- you have a myriad of wardrobe options with the addition of one pair of shorts! Ah, yes, shorts for living.

AFFORDABILITY :: And, of course, affordability with men's clothing is something I am always in search of and sharing with you all. These shorts are at a price that we can all afford (and since they are great for beach-bar-beyond, you're getting even more bang for your buck).

I dig that these shorts are bold, distinctive, and unmistakable. Colors range from orange (representing sand), blue (representing sea), green (representing summit), and pink (representing sky). Add photo prints of iconic destinations to these sleek colors, and you have one unique and stylish pair of shorts.

Pair these pastel shorts with a plain white v-neck tee shirt, short sleeve button-up, or dress shirt to take these shorts from super-casual to a littler dressier to more. Bam! You can go darker with navy or black, but make sure if you're wearing dark top, you are wearing dark shoes (dark flip flops, fashion sneakers, chucks, loafers).

These shorts are quality, fit where they should, and created for living. Taylor Boardshort Co says their clothing is for men who know who they want to be, set goals, and take risks to achieve those goals. I think they've wrapped up that sentiment impeccably in their board short design.
