Go commando with these versatile, athletic-fit Kore Shorts from Vuori

It’s not every day that someone tells you it’s okay to go commando. But right now, I am, thanks to Vuori’s Kore shorts, an athletic-fit pair of shorts that are ultra-versatile and can be worn everywhere. Back to freeballin’, as Tom Petty sings, that’s possible thanks to a breathable boxer-brief liner inside the shorts, which accentuates the four-way stretch, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying properties. So, not only do they keep your man parts snug, but they also keep them comfortable, cool, and dry. That alone is worth a win in my book. Of course, there’s so much more to love about the Kore shorts from Vuori, so we have to take a closer look.

Meet Vuori: Multi-dimensional, like life

With a goal to bring you high-quality performance apparel, Vuori understands that life is diverse, especially when you’re active. You might go from beach to bar, studio to street, and you deserve clothing or apparel that can do the same. There’s no reason you should stand out in a bad way for just living your life. Vuori is designed to appeal to everyone and blur the lines between fitness, active lifestyles, and regular life.

What does that mean for you? They offer versatile clothing, like the Kore shorts, that can bridge the gap between those two lifestyles. You can wear them while active, doing a workout, running, or just sightseeing, but you can also wear them casually while out on the town, visiting friends and family, or just living your life.

That’s precisely the kind of experience that Kore shorts offer, even if we did focus on the boxer-brief inner liner — because it’s fantastic. Some other notables include Vuori’s Energy Top, Halo collection, Strato Tech tees, and Ripstop collection.

Why Kore shorts?

Available in sizes extra-small to double-extra-large and in over 15 colors, spanning the full spectrum of choice, they’re meant to be “one short for every sport.” Or perhaps better explained, versatile shorts that you can wear anywhere, anytime, whether you’re active or not.

They feature an athletic fit that falls just above the knee, giving you that perfect Dad look. Don’t worry — you’ll still look great if you’re not a dad. They’re also moisture-wicking and quick-drying to keep you cool and comfortable, even in the hottest or most humid climates — hello, Florida. They also feature a four-way stretch design that, despite hugging your body, still gives you plenty of flexibility and freedom to move around. That’s good news for stretching out before a workout, as you don’t have to worry about tearing the shorts. But it also means the shorts will give you plenty of adaptability when you get moving. The drawcord, elastic waistband, and slash pockets with plenty of room add a lot to the design.

Finally, and this is perhaps the coolest feature of all, the Kore shorts are made with recycled content, like recycled polyester, making them much more viable and eco-friendly overall.

Pair them with a Vuori shirt for maximum comfort.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson rocks a Dandy Del Mar Sebastian Knit to Kraven premiere

We all know that the vintage look is having a moment. Every look from the 90s to the 40s is making a comeback and permeating every corner of our culture. Whether you are seeing the other men in the office embrace pleated pants and cuffed hems, or you are getting throwback style vibes from movies, music videos, or social media posts, no one can argue that the styles of our fathers, grandfathers, and great grandfathers are in. That is also true for the celebrity stylists. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is also having a moment. From the moment audiences fell in love with his vested look in Bullet Train, he has been front and center in our minds. He is rumored to be the next James Bond, and he is about to reenter the superhero genre as the titular character in Kraven the Hunter. His moment came front and center to the vintage moment when he stepped out for the premiere wearing one of the best polos available from the vintage kings, Dandy Del Mar.
New color drop adds to your possible depth

The Sebastian Knit Polo is one of the top options from Dandy as they dive into the 70s buttonless pullover, cuffed hem and arms, and knitted texture. It is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to feel as though they are carefree in the Riviera and want to show just the right amount of chest. Of course, you will have to hit the gym if you want to fill it out the way Kraven himself does. While Aaron Taylor-Johnson sports the darker Onyx colorway, the brand just dropped the Shell option, which gives depth to the entire collection.
