Shorts

How should men's shorts fit?

Knee-length or just above, with room through the leg; the shorts version of the baggy rule. That fit runs through every style in this category, whether it is a cargo short with workwear pockets, a mesh court short, a heavy sweatshort or baggy denim. Length is what separates a deliberate summer fit from gym-run energy.

Mesh and sweatshorts pair best with crew socks and a chunky sneaker, work shorts with a boxy tee. For the denim end of the spectrum, our jorts outfits for men show how the longer cut gets styled.
