Because sometimes it's too damn hot not to wear 'em. If you have trouble reading this message, view it in a browser.       26 Pairs of Shorts to Keep You Cool This Summer   Right now, we're in a golden age of shorts. Styles ranging from the leg-baring 5-inch inseam to longer, more voluminous options that borrow from basketball shorts and fashion shorts alike are on the table (proverbially speaking; literally speaking, they should be on your legs). So get some damn shorts. Ease up and cool off and enjoy the warm weather without encasing your legs in unnecessary swaths of fabric. Throw a tank top on with some workout-friendly shorts for a day at the park. Pair your trusty Patagonia Baggies with a breezy button-down at the beach. Try some cargo shorts that look genuinely cool, thanks to slimmer silhouettes and smart, technical detailing. Swap your sweatpants for sweat shorts or just throw on some classic chino shorts with a tee and call it a day. However you want to play it, though, start with this list.

That's when it's cold enough to put a sweater under your topcoat, or a hoodie under your chore coat. This is, officially, Good Weather. Then you've got Hot Weather. That's when you sweat, even if you're wearing only a T-shirt and a pair of shorts. I realize this is a somewhat controversial truth to deliver, but it is true nonetheless: Hot Weather is Bad Weather. Everything else is Light Jacket Weather. Light Jacket Weather is, officially, Good Weather. But if you ask us, it's the best weather. "It's nice, but it could be ten degrees colder," is the rallying call of the fan of Light Jacket Weather. He is pleased by the end of winter, but terrified of the beginning of summer. He enjoys sunlight and friends and socialization, but he might enjoy all his light jackets even more (just a little bit). You know that the perfect spring trucker jacket isn't just a myth. It's real, it's spectacular, and it's made by Taylor Stitch. Here's why you need one.

How Can This Be?   "It's not surprising either that Counting Crows would still be making music, even if the songs on the band's newly released EP Butter Miracle, Suite One are the first they've put out since 2014's Somewhere Under Wonderland," writes Esquire's Dave Holmes. "It's not even surprising that the music is the good kind of familiar; this is a band who's sounded like they've been together for thirty years for thirty years. What is a surprise is that they've done something none of their contemporaries has managed: they've made it here, all the way to 2021, without ever becoming a punchline. And that's straight up shocking when you consider how hard they've begged to become one."
