I personally LOVE these by Jack & Jones. They are the perfect fit, short enough but not too short. They're a great pair to try out for the first time if you've never bought a short short. They're appropriate for any scene.

Note, they look and feel a bit shorter and more fitted/slimmer than they do in these pics. At least they do on me. i'm 5'9 160lbs and wear size S. It looks like the models in the pics on the site are wearing one size up.
This is the UK site, but they also have them in Can/US and other countries, Jack & Jones has stores internationally.
