Paul Smith Shorts These shorts have a sophisticated design typical of Paul Smith. The inside of the front pockets (both sides) are edged with checks of different colors and angles. The two back pockets have different designs (one is standard, the other is a type that fastens with a hidden button to the inner fabric). The embroidery around the front buttonhole is a vibrant green, and a light green fabric is used for the zipper pull, demonstrating attention to detail. Paul Smith pants with this design are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
