We will therefore see how to confidently wear men’s shorts and give you our tips to avoid mistakes and be trendy this summer.

How to wear your Men’s Shorts well It’s not obvious for many to wear shorts. They have little fabric to be a real fashion piece and expose our legs and thighs which are normally hidden, which doesn’t help to feel valued. So, the first thing to do is to carefully check the length of your shorts. First, you absolutely must avoid wearing men’s shorts that are too short, reaching mid-thigh or shorter, as it will look like swimwear or underwear, which won’t flatter you. Conversely, too long and it’s no longer shorts but cropped pants, a piece currently impossible to use to look cool. So favor shorts with a length just above the knee.

First, there is the shirt, which can also be worn in several ways for a different style: buttoned and tucked into classic shorts or open over a t-shirt with cargo shorts. If you want to reinforce the streetwear shorts aspect, we advise you to focus on light pieces with streetwear accessories like a cap or crossbody bags that you can find on our site.

You can also simply wear your cargo shorts with an oversized t-shirt that will naturally stand out. Finally, to reinforce the streetwear style, you can wear a pair of shoes, preferably sneakers.
