How to Shop for Men’s Shorts?

Answer 1

When the weather begins to turn warmer it is a good time to think about shopping for men’s shorts. There are several types of shorts to choose from, and the style you buy depends on the purpose of the shorts. There are different shorts for working out or playing sports, informal events, and relaxing at home.

Active Wear

The only year-round men’s shorts are in the active wear category. These shorts are meant to be worn while running, working out, or playing sports. They are usually shorter than the shorts a man would wear to a normal summer event. Active wear shorts are made from lightweight material that moves easily. When you shop for men’s active wear shorts, be sure they are long enough for modesty, but short enough to allow free movement. Basketball shorts are an exception to the active wear length fashion because they are supposed to fall to the knee instead of mid-thigh.

Casual Events

Shorts have become acceptable for almost any kind of event during the warm weather months. If you shop for men’s shorts as daily wear or weekend fashion, the current style falls around knee length. Men’s shorts are made from cotton or linen. They are basically casual slacks that have been cut off at knee length instead of full length. Men’s shorts should be ironed regularly so that they always look crisp and clean. Try not to get shorts that are too baggy. Baggy shorts can look sloppy and make your legs look too short or too thin.

Sleep Shorts

Men’s sleep shorts, or boxer shorts, have been a popular alternative to long sleep pants for decades. The shorts should be loose and comfortable, and fall to about mid-thigh. Many modern pairs of boxer shorts are decorated with popular television show characters or whimsical designs that make them fun to wear. Since most boxer shorts are made from cotton, they get softer each time they are washed. Some men choose to wear boxer shorts instead of underwear because they are so loose and comfortable, while others feel that boxers bunch up too much to wear comfortably under a pair of pants during the day.
