Men's shorts: styles and lengths
The Men's Shorts page features chinos, cargo shorts, Bermudas, sports shorts, denim shorts, and sweat shorts, perfect for the city, the weekend, or training. From straight cuts that stop just above the knee to longer Bermudas, with brands like Oakley, Napapijri, Blend, G-Star, Katin, and Helly Hansen, there’s a length for every style.
The short just above the knee is a length that suits almost everyone.
Above the Knee or Bermuda: The Right Length
For a man, the easiest length to wear stops just above the knee, with two or three centimetres of leg showing: it suits almost all body types. Shorter, mid-thigh length, it gives a contemporary look and elongates the legs, especially for average height men. The bermuda can reach or cover the knee: the Napapijri N-Deline, from the Italian brand established in 1987 in Val d'Aosta, or the more robust Payper Craft and Sandiego, are suitable for taller frames. In all cases, the leg falls straight, neither clinging to the thigh nor floating, and a rolled-up hem can be shortened without alteration.
Chino, Cargo or Organic Twill
The chino short made from cotton twill is the most versatile: the Blend Mason or the Oakley Baseline Hybrid, with fabric that dries quickly, can be worn from casual office to summer dinner. The cargo, with its patch pockets on the thighs, has a utilitarian look: the G-Star Rovic, from the Dutch brand founded in Amsterdam in 1989, or the Blend Morgan are two examples. Colorful Standard produces its cotton twill shorts in Portugal, in bold or muted tones. The Katin Ward, from the Californian surf brand, and the Cord Local corduroy short bring the beach vibe.
Sport, Jogging and Sailing Shorts
The sport shorts from Endurance, a Danish sportswear brand, such as the Kros, the Letic, or the two-in-one Less lined with a tight short, use a lightweight technical fabric that wicks sweat and dries quickly. The Hummel Blaze Athleisure bridges the gap between training and social outings. The jogging short in fleece, like the New Era Essentials with an oversized fit, is reserved for calm days and cool evenings. Helly Hansen, established in 1877 in Norway, transfers its sailing expertise: the HP Racing Deck, stretchy and UV protected, stands up to spray and sun on deck.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to Wear Shorts Elegantly?
Opt for a straight cut that doesn't squeeze the thigh, a rolled-up hem, and a length above the knee. A plain cotton chino is more suitable for a smart outfit than a fleece or technical fabric model.
What Size of Shorts to Choose?
Start with your usual trouser size. For shorts with an elastic waist, check the waist measurement in the guide and ensure that the waistband doesn't sag at the back when sitting.
Jean Shorts or Chino: Which to Choose?
The chino, made of finer cotton twill, remains neat and lightweight in hot weather. The jean short, thicker and sturdier, handles active days and gains character with each wash.
Why Do Some Sport Shorts Have an Integrated Tight?
The fitted tight supports muscles and prevents chafing between the thighs over long distances. The floaty short on top allows freedom of movement without extra underwear.
Linen or Cotton Shorts in Hot Weather?
Linen, very breathable, dries quickly and keeps the skin cool, but wrinkles easily. Cotton, softer and sturdier, ages well and withstands repeated washes throughout the summer.
