wool shorts seem pretty affected but I gues if you are wearing a Bermuda-type outfit (dress shirt, tie, blazer, dress shoes ans shorts), then these are the shorts you need. Shorts for me signify the most casual of casual items and I only wear them in parks, beaches etc. Dress shorts, to me, are an oxymoron.

I think these shorts in navy with a pink ocbd and white bucks would look great.

Oh I forgot and navy/red repp tie.

That's the point, I wouldn't wear a tie with shorts. My take on it is that shorts signify very casual and tie signifies formality. In the same way that I would not wear a dinner jacket with corduroys.

I am not thick but I just don't understand what you would wear to a lawn party.
