Men’s Shorts Guidelines

1. The Parts

Front – Its your call to choose flat front or pleated

Pleats – it folds on fly side and when you sit, it automatically widen at the hips to give you more room. Another pleats function is to put more stuff in front pocket without disturbing the drape. Pleats are actually slimming if you wore the right size pants.

Waistband – Bermuda shorts have full construction while sport shorts have none

The Fly, Belt Loops, Pockets – Yeap, they are full of variation that people can choose depends on their lifestyle tastes.

2. Men’s Shorts Has To Fit

Length – Ideally, shorts has to meet the knee. Never longer or shorter, its best that way. Some influencer said that tall guys has to wear longer boxer and shorter guys wear above the knee. But, I disagree with that. Because too high or too low make you look bad, and fit is about consistency.

Width – Well, for the shorts width, it depends on your leg size. Tapered design is for guys with thin leg, and wider style is for heavy legs.

Pattern – Solid or vertical patterns works best for shorter gentleman (i.e corduroy), while tall people can wear the plaids.

3. Men’s Shorts Styles

Men’s shorts has a lot of variations, depends on the length, use, how to fasten, the purpose, materials, and else. Gym shorts like athletic, basketball, running, workout, or tennis style. Bermuda, bike, boxer, camp or trail, cargo, cut-offs, drawstrings, trunks, and others.

4. How To Care

There are three options you can choose:
– dry clean
– professional launder
– you, yeah wash it yourself

That is why its important to read cleaning instruction label first, you can find it inside the shorts.
