There's a certain bitchiness that seems inexorably wedded to fashion personalities, and men's fashion personalities in particular. And they bring with them an occupational-hazard belief that dressing casually in summer means wearing a linen suit instead of seersucker, and boat shoes instead of oxfords. Tom Ford is pushing the boundary of idiocy almost all alone with his advice (seriously, I can't count the number of times in the last year I've seen designers pushing for shorter shorts, 70s style - are we supposed to check those embarrassing thigh-showcasers at the city limits?), but it's the sort of look-at-me line that's not unexpected from Mr. Ford.
Of COURSE yay on urban shorts. Though not the pair shown above - they look too much like jean-shorts, and those actually shouldn't be worn in the city. Or out of it.
Nay...it's gross.
