- A good pair of men's shorts should look good, fit well, and comfortable to wear.
- With large selections of styles and colors, the best places to buy men's shorts are J.Crew, Club Monaco, Brooks Brothers, and REI.
Whether it's dealing with summer heat or you live in warmer climes year-round, a good pair of shorts can go a long way toward helping your body keep cool. You don't have to throw out the rules of style to stay comfortable, however, and a well-fitted pair of shorts can provide a clean look that's as crisp as it is pleasant to wear all day.
Although shorts are very casual, there are still some rules for wearing them. In fact, the casual nature of shorts is more of a reason, not less of one, to keep the fit on-point lest you start looking sloppy. From a style perspective, the guidelines are pretty simple: Keep your shorts slim, make sure they end above the knee (with a 7-10-inch inseam being the sweet spot), and avoid cargo shorts unless you're going hiking or something. Of course, we acknowledge that style is subjective and rules are meant to be broken sometimes.
If you're looking to ditch those long, baggy shorts and upgrade your style, you'll find great options for men's shorts at these stores, whether in summer or winter.
