How to Style Shorts (of Any Length)
From knee-length to true short, shorts with inseams of varying lengths are trending this season. Here's how to style them all.
True Short
Who wears short shorts? More men are embracing 4–5 inch inseams for both style and comfort. Shorter shorts offer better mobility for muscular thighs and create a longer leg line, helping you look taller. Style them with a casual shirt and mid-calf socks for a balanced, modern look.
Mid-Thigh
Mid-thigh shorts (6–8 inch inseam) are your classic, go-anywhere option. From BBQs to boat days, they pair effortlessly with hoodies, tees, or polos. Versatile and cool, they suit any summer plan—opt for athletic styles to move, chinos for casual hangs, or tailored details when dressing things up without pants.
Knee-Length
Knee-length shorts with 9–12 inch inseams are trending, offering a sleek, updated take on the early 2000s look. With straight or wide-leg cuts, they create bold silhouettes and draw the eye downward. Style them with a fitted top to spotlight the shorts, or a boxy top to echo their length and shape.
