Who wears short shorts? You wear short shorts. Well, you’re going to want to after you see these.

They’re called “Chubbies” – quirky, fun, and perfect for the upcoming summer season. The Chubbie brand is all about shorts – pants are just a necessary evil. These guys want you to embrace your legs – and we at The Manual love a company that can take an article of clothing and bring some humor into the mix.

Their newest collection for summer is perfect for the beach, the tennis court, your backyard…and now – your yacht. OK, your friend’s yacht. OK – that booze cruise you’ve been planning since January. The collection is inspired by the boat shoe, and these will definitely match your favorite Sperry Topsider.

The “Chubbies Boat Short” is about to become a staple – water resistant, rip-stop accents and even boat-shoe grommets with leather laces. LEATHER. LACES. So slip on these bad boys and get ready for some heat.

HEYDUDE Slip-On Shoes Are So Comfortable You Won’t Want to Wear Anything Else

This content was produced in partnership with HEYDUDE.
As a brand, HEYDUDE is sweeping the nation. Becoming more and more popular with just about every age, and people from every walk of life -- it's the fastest-growing footwear brand in the U.S. and the company will surpass $1B in value real soon. There's a good reason for it. HEYDUDEs are stylish, super comfortable, convenient, and once you try them, you'll fall in love. To understand why, we have to backtrack a little bit.

In warmer weather, flip-flops and sandals are the go-to, not just because they keep your feet cool and open, but also because they're so convenient to put on. You just have to slide your feet right in and off you go. They're not at all stylish, however, and you wouldn't want to wear them with certain outfits. HEYDUDEs fix that problem, and so much more. Known as some of the "cushiest, comfiest, airiest, featheriest, lightest shoes on Earth," these words of praise still don't do these shoes justice. You might be wondering, what makes them so comfortable? What kinds of styles do they offer? We're going to explore precisely that.
