# Men’s Shorts

FAQ's_Clothing_Shorts

[Cargo shorts](https://www.jacamo.co.uk/shop/c/clothing/shorts/cargo) are utility-style shorts featuring multiple pockets, including large patch pockets on the sides of each leg. They're typically made from durable cotton or canvas and offer practical storage for outdoor activities, travel and everyday wear.

What are cargo shorts?

[Chino shorts](https://www.jacamo.co.uk/shop/c/clothing/shorts/chino) are tailored, flat-fronted shorts made from a smooth cotton twill fabric. They sit between casual and smart, making them a versatile choice for smart-casual occasions, weekend outings and warm office environments.

What are chino shorts?

[Denim shorts](https://www.jacamo.co.uk/shop/c/clothing/shorts/denim) are made from the same sturdy cotton twill fabric used for jeans, often featuring classic five-pocket styling. They're a casual, hard-wearing option that pairs well with [t-shirts](https://www.jacamo.co.uk/shop/c/clothing/t-shirts-vests), [polos](https://www.jacamo.co.uk/shop/c/clothing/polo-shirts) and [trainers.](https://www.jacamo.co.uk/shop/c/footwear/trainers)

What are denim shorts?

Most men suit a shorts length that finishes just above the knee, typically between 7 and 9 inches. Shorter inseams (5–7 inches) suit a sportier look, while longer styles (9 inches plus) offer more coverage for taller frames.

What length shorts should men wear?

[Trainers](https://www.jacamo.co.uk/shop/c/footwear/trainers) are the most versatile footwear choice for men's shorts, working across casual and smart-casual settings. [Loafers](https://www.jacamo.co.uk/shop/c/footwear/shoes/loafers) or [boat shoes](https://www.jacamo.co.uk/shop/c/footwear/shoes/boat-shoes) elevate a smarter look, while [sandals](https://www.jacamo.co.uk/shop/c/footwear/sandals) or [sliders](https://www.jacamo.co.uk/shop/c/footwear/flip-flops-sliders) suit beachwear and lounging.

What shoes to wear with men's shorts?

Men's shorts are measured by waist size and inseam length, our waist sizes typically range from 28 to 62 inches in some ranges. Checking our size guides against your own waist and hip measurements ensures the best fit before buying.

How to measure men's shorts?

Well-fitting shorts sit comfortably at the waist without gaping or digging in, with enough room through the thigh to move freely. The hem should sit flat against the leg rather than flaring out or clinging tightly.

How men's shorts should fit?

Yes, tailored styles such as [chino shorts](https://www.jacamo.co.uk/shop/c/clothing/shorts/chino) work well for smart-casual occasions when paired with a [polo shirt](https://www.jacamo.co.uk/shop/c/clothing/polo-shirts) or [short-sleeve shirt](https://www.jacamo.co.uk/shop/c/clothing/shirts/f/Sleeve%20Length--Short%20Sleeve). Avoid overly casual fabrics like jersey or heavily distressed denim for these settings.

Can men wear shorts for smart-casual occasions?

Shorts with a relaxed or straight fit through the thigh, plus a touch of stretch in the fabric, work best for bigger builds. Our [cargo](https://www.jacamo.co.uk/shop/c/clothing/shorts/cargo) and [chino](https://www.jacamo.co.uk/shop/c/clothing/shorts/chino) styles cut for larger frames typically offer more room without bunching.

What are the best shorts for men with big thighs?

Cotton and cotton-blend fabrics are the most popular for men's shorts thanks to their breathability and durability. Performance fabrics with added stretch or moisture-wicking properties suit sports-focused styles.
