Assorted retailers
It’s time to break out your best shorts for the warm weather season, but before you store away your go-to jeans and pull out any old pair of shorts in your closet, it might be time to re-think what type of men’s summer shorts you’ll need for any activity and occasion.
The right length and fit of your shorts make all the difference for flattering style with little-to-no effort required. No matter where you’re heading, from an outdoor cookout to a day at the beach, the wrong pair of shorts will add unwanted bulk to your body (think the wrong kind of gains) and make you look shorter. If you spent the past few months taking your fitness game to the next level, why not sport the right duds to show off your hard work?

Types of Shorts for Men
To rely on just a simple pair of shorts for every task on you spring and summer checklist would be a mistake—a sweaty, smelling, head-turning-for-all-the-wrong-reasons type of mistake. For starters, your active lifestyle requires a few pair of go-to moisture-wicking shorts for the gym, running, cycling, hiking, and all the sweat-inducing fun in the sun to be had. If your focus is more on R&R over PRs, you still need some cool, casual stunners that have the versatility to be worn in both daytime and evening scenarios. Now that offices are re-opening and dinner plans are being scheduled, you might want to opt for a pair of sleek khaki shorts with a comfortable waistband and a hint of stretch, so you don’t find yourself yearning for those comfy sweats you lived in during the WFH days of the pandemic. And speaking of sweatpants, store those bad boys for the fall, because there’s a ton of sweat shorts and men’s leisure shorts on the market that will keep you cool and comfy while you beat the heat. Basically, you need to build up a solid arsenal of shorts that’ll make spring and summer dressing a breeze.
Men’s Shorts Styles and Length
While we like to keep our style classic for the most part (because no one wants to look back on Summer 2022 pictures and cringe), there are a few men’s summer shorts trends you should consider flexing this season. Probably the biggest trend is the return of the Bermuda short, which basically means it’s more acceptable than ever to don some cool shorts for cocktail hour. Like the popularity of pleated trousers, pleated shorts are everywhere this season—and they happen to pair perfectly with a retro knit polo shirt and timeless loafers (think prep-school cool or so-uncool-it’s-cool dad vibes). And for more casual affairs, utility shorts are like the more flattering version of early aughts cargos you never wanted to quit (but hopefully burned). For workouts, now’s a great time to show your leg-day gains in some Dwayne-Johnson approved, flattering, five-inch shorties. Not into showing that much skin? The streetwear scene has been rocking some lengthier shorts that look fresh with cool socks and hyped-up sneakers. No matter your style or physique, there’s a new on-trend men’s shorts silhouette that’s worth adding to your spring and summer wardrobe.
