EDITOR'S PICK: SUMMER SHORTS

BY POP KAMPOL

Wherever you are, we hope there's sunshine! If you're lucky enough to have it, it looks like you've finally got chance put on your best shorts. From high-street to high-brand, there's a wide range of shorts to suit every taste - amazing prints,  colourful palettes. This week we spotted a cool guy in Bangkok, where people have to know how to dress for the heat.

Name: Yota Sampasneethumrong, 33
Hometown: Bangkok, Thailand
Occupation: Web & Graphic Designer
T-shirt: A.P.C, Check shirt: Polo, Denim jacket: flea market, Shorts: ACNE, Belt: Topman, Loafers: flea market, Watch: vintage Bulova from 1970, Sunglasses: Ray Ban

OT: What's the best thing about summer?
Yota: You can travel light on vacation.

OT: Any tips on keeping stylish in the heat?
Yota: Bright coloured shorts with a creased shirt and t-shirt are best for summer. Most people think summer is all about wearing as little as possible, but a few layers of lightweight pieces will definitely let you shine. This lightweight-layered approach is also a good way of playing with prints, colours and patterns; winter clothes don't give you this freedom. Also I like to add a vintage piece of clothing to express my identity.

Here's my pick: pull off this stylish, summer look by layering this stripy T-shirt from Aubin & Wills with this amazing checked shirt from Burberry, bright colourful shorts from J.Crew, and finish with these iconic horsebit loafers from Gucci. Make the most of the heat and dress for the English summer while you have the chance.
