Retailers are starting to push a new trend in menswear: the short suit.
The ensemble looks like a regular suit from the waist up, with a sport coat over a button-down shirt and sometimes a tie or bowtie. Instead of trousers, however, the suit's bottoms are cropped at the knee.
J. Crew, Topman, Asos, and Barneys are among the retailers selling the short suit this season. They may be taking cues from fashion icon Pharrell Williams, who donned tuxedo shorts to the Academy Awards earlier this year.
"It’s definitely having a moment, particularly with younger guys," Jon Patrick, the creative director at menswear company J.Hilburn, told Businessweek.
J. Crew is offering four different kinds of short suits that cost about $400.
A few years ago, a relative got married. Another relative wore one of those types -- although I think he wore cargo shorts and paired it with a sport coat.
This has been a popular look in Bermuda for years. There, they use long socks rather than leave their legs exposed. I'm not certain most men elsewhere are comfortable with this much leg exposure unless they're in a casual, laid back environment.

^^^^ It doesn't look so weird when you get used to it.
That said, I am not a fan.
