The Uncomfortable Truth About The Return Of The Flip Phone

If there’s one thing that ruins a man’s outfit more than anything, it’s a bulge. No, not the kind that can earn you interest from Cosmo, or looks of jealousy from other guys, but pocket bulge.

Stuffing too much into the pockets of your pants not only ruins the overall aesthetic of your look, with any lines you’re trying to achieve being disrupted, but it can ruin your clothes by constantly stretching them. While it may be pretty simple to slim down everyday items such as a wallet, replacing a bifold or trifold with a much cleaner cardholder, the same can’t always be said for phones.

While smartphone manufacturers consistently strive to produce devices that are as slim as possible, the amount of tech that goes inside them obviously requires a certain amount of space. The result is a phone that increases in size year after year, and one that becomes increasingly more difficult to house when out and about.

That’s where flip phones come in. Their aim is to offer a similar smartphone experience, but with the ability to fold down into a more manageable shape. The flip phone design was incredibly popular during its peak in the early 2000s, with owners particularly liking the fact you could flick it open or slam it shut when wanting to make a call, or wanting to abruptly hang up on somebody if a conversation became heated.

Following the introduction of smartphones, however, we’ve now become accustomed to big-screen, rectangular devices instead. Samsung and Motorola are now hoping the nostalgic feel brought back by the Z Flip and Razr respectively could see a sway in direction once again, and bring with it devices that are easier to find a home for.

Or at least, that’s the theory.

While we haven’t been able to get our hands on the latest flip device, the Galaxy Z Flip, to see if it does indeed offer the same performance as a ‘regular’ rectangular smartphone, we can be pretty certain it won’t be as pocketable as you think.

Stick a smartphone in the front pocket of your pants and you’ll instantly see it protruding out from your thigh. If you wear slim or loose fit pants then it won’t be as noticeable as if you wear skinny fit jeans or chinos, but there’s no denying the lines are there. And that’s caused by phones that are usually less than 10mm thick.

The Galaxy Z Flip meanwhile comes in with a similar thickness when unfolded, but when it’s folded shut and in your pocket, its depth increases to a huge 17.3mm. Sure, its overall form is a small square and it will reduce the amount of length in your pants, but as a compromise, you’ll get more girth.

Whether or not this bothers you comes down entirely to preference. You may find that the smaller, folded form is perfect to slip into your pocket. For us, we’re not so sure. When you sit down, your pants are stretched due to the bend in your knee. With a flip phone in your pocket and their not-so-svelte frames, the material is going to be stretched even further. A big no-no in our book.

Popular Prints & Patterns For Men’s Shorts

Men’s shorts can be broken down into several categories, and we’ve got you covered on all bases to guarantee that you find the best pair for you.

If you’re looking for a new pair of swimmers or board shorts, or you need to update your gym shorts or running shorts, you’ll find a whole list of brands on their respective pages.

But if warm weather is giving you a reason to get a new pair of everyday shorts for men, that can accompany you from daytime strolling to nighttime boozing, look no further as we’ve curated a list of the brands offering some of the best examples around.

Just like any well-made suit or dress shirt, shorts for men also have their own grading system for looking sharp, albeit a bit more casual. The main criteria are simple: fit, material, length, and patterns. Nail these and you’ll have one of the coolest-looking summer outfits.

Ideal Short Length

Below knee, above the knee, and short shorts. These are the three main length categories of shorts for men these days (unless you’re into reggae you shouldn’t be rocking three-quarter shorts, and you can leave basketball shorts to Adam Sandler). For the best men’s shorts look, choose lengths according to the rest of your outfit. Tees and singlets go with shorter shorts whilst below-knee and above-knee shorts pair well with casual dress shirts and polos.

How Men’s Shorts Should Fit?

Would you wear a pair of shoes that don’t fit? The same answer applies to men’s shorts. Whilst casual trends champion the idea that if a pair of men’s shorts are baggy and comfortable then they’re perfect, there’s more to it than that.

For styling purposes, a baggy pair of cargo shorts from 2003 just won’t cut it. What you need is decent tapering along the leg length which makes the wearer appear taller. There are rules though, and that’s not to go too tight, otherwise, you’re in hot pants territory. The best-fitting shorts for men don’t show the contour of your frank and beans to the public.

The fit around your waist should also be comfortable but firm, although not tight. If you can wedge your index finger between the waistband and your waist, you’ve found a perfect pair.

Top Men’s Shorts Materials

Cotton, polyester, denim… men’s shorts come in a plethora of material variations so choosing the right one is essential depending on the occasion. Cotton and organic cotton is usually the go-to item for more smart-casual looks whilst polyester covers the athleisure segment, and denim is perfect for a casual/street style look. There are also linen shorts these days and these are perfect for warm weather, you know those days when the mercury really starts to soar.

Popular Prints & Patterns For Men’s Shorts

The rules are simple for prints and patterns – make sure there’s a contrast between your top and bottom. Whether that be through colour blocking or contrasting patterns, that’s entirely up to you. Just be wary of vertical lines as it can accentuate unflattering body lines if you don’t have the physique of Thor.

Jason Derulo’s Airport Flex Will Put Your Best Loungewear To Shame

Whenever you jet off on holiday, whether it be a six-month excursion to Europe or a two-week lads trip to somewhere with sun, sea and strawberry daiquiris, you find yourself dressing a certain way for the airport. Step through the doors into any terminal and suddenly rules of fashion, for many, go out the window. But that shouldn’t be the case, as it’s just another opportunity for you to show you know how to look good.

Case in point: Jason Derulo. When he’s not posting salacious pictures that leave nothing to the imagination, the US singer regularly proves to be a master of casual style. His latest outfit is no different, and while the brands and overall cost will put even your best loungewear to shame, he shows us all how we should be dressing when taking off from terra firma.

Spotted arriving at LAX International Airport in Los Angeles on February 19th, 2020, where he was flying out to Dubai, Derulo put together an all-black ensemble ideal for laying down in his first-class bed and catching forty winks during his flight. His hoodie is from LA-based fashion label Ih Nom Uh Nit (meaning, ‘to have no name’), a relatively young luxury streetwear brand.

Jason’s exact hoodie can’t be found online (it’s likely part of an upcoming collection), but the company offers plenty of alternatives, such as this one for US$344. Jason pairs his luxe sweater with a pair of black sweatpants, but it’s his footwear that steals the show and repents his sin of combining socks with slides.

That’s because the slides are from Christian Louboutin. Yep, they aren’t your run of the mill Adidas slides, but a much more luxurious – and expensive, at US$495 – version that uses calfskin leather for supreme comfort. They’re also on a platform sole to give Jason an extra few inches…in the height department.

We’ll certainly be thinking twice next time we put together an airport outfit.
