Types and Styles of Men's Shorts

Shorts are the new modern style for Men. It has faced leaps and bounds, and it was
once only limited to home leisurewear.

It was more of a relaxed outfit and was for the summers. Now, it has more modern
touches and it finds a place in Summer staples as well as belonging to Athleisure.
The summer season is more of a shorts season. There are so many styles, and with
the takeover of athleisure, it will be confusing to know which shorts are suited for
what event or occasion. Here, we will help you to sort this out, by listing few types
so that you will always look great.

Linen Shorts
You would have heard more about Linen trousers than linen shorts. But, consider it
is summer, and the only thing in your mind will be to relax and feel comfortable
with the material you are opting for. Linen shorts are comfortable, relaxing, and
lightweight. Linen does wrinkle more than cotton, but the unique wrinkles are part
of the style. These shorts can give you a more relaxed vibe, wear them to beaches
and grab a few eyeballs.

Pockets, Patterns, and Styles in Shorts


Shorts come in many types, and you should nowadays look more into the utility
part of the shorts as well. Those pockets will help you a lot as the shorts are
becoming more of multi-purpose clothing.

Cargo shorts and safari shorts with side, front, and back pockets are excellent for
hiking or working outside anywhere that’s hot. Notably, after these purposes, they
do not have much of a role in your wardrobe. Baggy, multi-pocketed shorts do not
look cool in social gatherings. So, keep them only to outdoor hikes, adventures.
These are ultra-casual and should not be worn to social events.

Solid colours such as tan, khaki, navy, are the most common styles for men’s
shorts. Checks, especially checks with a white base, offer a cool look, but should
be paired with at least a polo shirt.
Printed, Colour Block, & Graphic Shorts
Printed, graphic shorts are so in the trend that you can't just neglect them. For
printed shorts, go with a navy polo, they are the kind of never-failing casual combo
that you will definitely need when you have no time to spare.

Colour Blocks are something that is always eye-catching. Travelling is the time
when you can sport them and look dapper. It certainly turns heads and for a beach
look, go with a casual printed shirt and colour block shorts to get a relaxed vibe.

While going with Graphic Shorts, the options are plenty. For a look that is
straightforward, but can be displayed in a ton of diverse ways, make a white long
sleeve shirt and graphic shorts your outfit choice. Complement this look with
leather sandals for a more laid-back touch.

So, it can be tempting with these many options for shorts and wait for our next

give you a good checklist on what to have in your wardrobe.
