MEN'S KNEE LENGTH SHORTS
Knee length is the most wearable short length and suits more builds than a higher cut.
Fabrics
Cotton twill and chino-style shorts read smarter and work with a short sleeve shirt or polo. Jersey and sweat shorts are softer and more relaxed. Both sit at a similar length.
Waistbands, fit and colour
An elasticated or drawcord waist is more comfortable in heat and easier to size. A fixed waistband with belt loops reads smarter with a shirt tucked. Check the thigh as well as the waist. Navy, stone and olive go with everything. See chino shorts, cargo shorts and swim shorts.
