The navy linen short is the most composed option in the PP men's linen shorts range — the colourway that transitions the short from the purely casual beach register toward the smart-casual territory of the terrace lunch and the afternoon occasion. In certified Belgian linen, navy carries the same depth and warmth as in the shirt and trouser collection.

The occasion range for navy shorts. The beach club terrace lunch — white PP linen shirt fully buttoned with navy linen shorts and leather sandals. The afternoon at a resort pool — the same combination, shirt open. The casual afternoon in an old town — navy linen shorts with a white or natural PP linen shirt and leather loafers. The early evening aperitivo — navy shorts carry this slightly more composed version of the casual register.

The distinction from lighter colourways. White and natural linen shorts read as pure beach and resort morning. Navy reads as slightly more composed — the colourway that carries the transition from the beach to the social occasion more naturally than white does when the setting is more observed. The navy short with a white shirt is the standard smart-casual resort combination.

The accompaniments. With a white PP linen shirt — the classic resort terrace combination. With an oyster PP linen shirt — the warm-neutral combination for the less formal context. With leather loafers rather than sandals — the step up in register that makes navy linen shorts carry the smart-casual occasion correctly.

The care. Navy certified Belgian linen is sensitive to fading from high-temperature washing. Wash at 30 degrees maximum, dry in shade, and the depth of colour is maintained across many seasons.
