The calendar says that summer doesn't start for another two week. The 90 degree weather in NYC says otherwise. A sure fire way for us guys to beat the heat is by wearing shorts. Here are seven pairs that will surely keep your temp down and your swag up.

Today is the first day of the season that I wore shorts to work so I decided to share a few pairs I have my eye on.

1. A summer basic which goes with nearly everything;  J.Crew $60

2. Why go to the beach when you can wear it?; Quiksilver $53

3. The ultimate chill pair; American Eagle $25

4. For the hippie inside us all;  Insight $50

5. Layering made simple & stylish; Gap $45

6. Two words: drop crotch; Topman $70

7. Distressed & designer all at the same time; Armani Exchange $40
