The gents over at Kempt, fresh off the trade show circuit, offer the biggest trend they've seen throughout the spring/summer 2011 collections. Corduroy shorts. "We ran across pairs from Rogues Gallery, Lightning Bolt, and even the cotton tie-makers at Camo. In heat like this, the last thing we want is some stifling cords—but we'd probably feel differently if we did more sailing." They suggest trying out the trend now by buying up the cord shorts from L.L. Bean Signature, but you could always just cut-off a pair of your own and get started today.
