Couturier Parisien Navy Pleated Cotton Shorts - Size: L
Couturier Parisien Navy Pleated Cotton Shorts
These tailored shorts are designed for days when full-length trousers feel unnecessarily formal or simply too warm. Two front pleats, a clean waistband with side adjusters and turned-up hems give them the character of summer tailoring, while the cotton gabardine remains comfortable and easy to wear. In my opinion, they work best with a knitted polo, a linen shirt or a lightweight unstructured jacket.

These shorts make sense for a man who does not want to give up a clean silhouette and a well-dressed appearance during summer. The pleats provide additional comfort through the thighs, the side adjusters keep the waistband visually clean, and the substantial gabardine holds its shape better than lightweight casual cotton. They are not sports shorts, but a genuine warm-weather alternative to tailored trousers.
- Silhouette: structured tailored cut with additional room provided by the front pleats.
- Waist adjustment: side adjusters allow the waistband to be fine-tuned without adding a belt.
- Model reference: the model is 187 cm tall and wears size M.
For a straightforward summer combination, wear them with a knitted polo and leather loafers or espadrilles. A linen shirt with rolled-up sleeves creates a more relaxed look, while a lightweight unstructured jacket makes them suitable for a summer dinner, holiday or less formal social occasion. Because of the side adjusters, I would personally wear them without a belt.
