EDITOR'S NOTE

A good pair of chino shorts covers a lot of ground in warm weather. The Lacoste Stretch Twill Chino Shorts Abysm are cut slim from stretch cotton twill, with Italian side pockets, two back welt pockets, and an embroidered crocodile on the back. Wear them with a linen shirt and loafers to a long lunch by the pool, then into an easy dinner as the evening cools.
