When to Wear Men’s Shorts
Let’s face it—shorts season is the best season. But knowing when and how to wear them can take your summer style from “just rolled out of the tent” to “effortlessly cool.”
✔ Day at the beach or in the garden?
Lightweight cotton or jersey shorts are your go-to. Look for elasticated waists and breathable fabrics that keep you comfy from sunrise to sunset.
✔ Off for a hike or weekend adventure?
You’ll want something built to move. Technical shorts with stretch and quick-dry finishes are ideal for tackling trails or getting hands-on in the garden.
✔ Casual pub lunch or BBQ with mates?
A classic cargo or canvas short strikes the perfect balance between relaxed and put-together. Pair with a polo or short-sleeve t-shirt, and you’re good to go.
✔ Festival or fun in the sun?
Why not go bold? Patterns, colour blocking, and unique prints bring personality to your outfit—and you won’t blend in with the tents.
Top tip: Keep the socks low, the colours coordinated, and the fit just right—aim for just above the knee and never too tight.
From coastal strolls to garden BBQs, Charlies has the men’s shorts to keep you feeling fresh and looking good all summer long.
