The Park Tennis Take

The Park Tennis Take

These are tennis shorts for the moment after tennis, which may be the harder brief. Brown plaid is enough of a choice to look intentional, but the five-inch inseam, drawstring waist, and pockets still belong on court. You can play a set, hang at the fence, then go somewhere that has actual glassware without looking like you forgot to change. They cost real-money-trousers money, which is part of the joke and the tradeoff. Still, park tennis means never knowing who you will run into. It is nice when the shorts have already done the thinking.
