We did mention that B-Store’s SS09 collection was a great collection when it first appeared on catwalks, but now it’s starting to appear in stores we can specifically pick out the best pieces. These shorts are listed as simply striped shorts, but they look like seersucker shorts to us, so we’ll call it that. Like most B-store pieces, the devil’s in the details. The shorts are the perfect length – just above the knee, in case you didn’t know – and the fit is slim enough to suit most folks without being strictly for the emaciated. Get it from Farfetch.

Check after the jump for detailed pictures.

One of the main reasons to show these nylon trouser shorts from Raf by Raf Simons is to show the Raf sandals for Dr. Martens in action. They look much less Spartan that I assumed they would be but we’ll revert back to the trouser shorts. Slightly more above the knee on this tall model than expected, the black shorts have a flat front trouser finish, button tab front, and back welt pockets. Enjoy from OAK NYC.

If you’re one of the lucky few that’ll be going on holiday to a hot climate this summer, then shorts like these are a must. We should note that these are swimming trunks – we’re not advocating super short shorts – and they’d be a little obscene anywhere apart from beside a pool. Like most pieces this summer, they fit perfectly into the preppy look – but you could easily Patrik Ervell them out and add some modernity to your outfit. Get it from Luisviaroma.

Trouser shorts will become a familiar look this Spring. LOVA passes along two of their own with a pair of plaid and railroad striped looks. Both are made in the U.S.A. and are fashioned with corozo-nut buttons. Roll-up finish and above the knee. Available now from eLuxury.

We can almost smell the salty winds of the season. You’ll need to stock up on some shorts for the weather. KZO’s Seaton shorts are a great option. The slim fitting shorts are finished with a fine striping, zip-up, and drawstring waist. Comfortable and ready to wear. Get them now from Blackbird.

Spring denim shorts make a return from Nom de Guerre. In shads of mustard (a trend today on the site) and grey, they are rugged choices for day wear and appear low key. We prefer them to cut off blue denim. That’s for sure. Available now from Gravity Pope.

Trouser shorts work under a variety of conditions, including: weddings in Bermuda and urban strolls in the summer. Unlike casual shorts, short trousers are made from fine materials as found in suits, like these two specimens from Neil Barrett. Both are made in Italy by the finest of tailors. They’re available now from Luisaviaroma (try pronouncing that).

Nomad has taken stock on the Spring/Summer 2009 collection from Wings + Horns. A great variety of looks from this Canadian based label. We love the top tier quality and fits of their clothing. The builds are strong and will last for years. We’re still rocking Wings + Horns crew necks from a few years past. One of our favorite day to day brands.

More “unfamiliar vintage” from Portobello, London. Spring season 2009 from Garbstore brings great shirts, chinos and jackets… and some fetching shorts too. Wonderful styling to the look book as well. (via Mr. Paley).

Selections follow.

We never thought we’d be recommending pleated shorts here, but here we are. Acne’s shorts are the perfect length for shorts nowadays (just above the knee, in case you were wondering) and they’d fit perfectly into any ‘Take Ivy’ inspired look. Once again, we’re going to have to ask you to ignore the styling to the right, Matches always know how to make a piece look old. Get it from Matches.
