A wide variety of shorts including , tiny bum skimmers , bermudas , swimming trunks , cycling shorts , tennis shorts , etc . were presented by designers and brands alike for the approaching season .

MAN BAGS

Men are spoilt for choice when it comes to bags this season . A series of cross-body styles , shoulder bags , hand-held tassel variants , and even actual handbags ( a la Prada and Valentino ) made a case in point for S / S ’ 19 . But the style that stood out the most from amongst the crowd was the medium-size cross-over men ’ s bag – halfway between a pouch and a satchel designed for the man on the go . Following the same , we have a mini / micro pouch version that comes second in line . Worn cross-body , around the chest , this version would prove to serve as the basic staple for all necessities come summer .
