Men's Shorts

A good pair of shorts is a staple of modern men’s fashion, both for the style and function they can provide—but it’s essential to choose only the best. Otherwise, these bottoms can quickly fall short of the mark.

The fashion world has moved well past men’s cargo shorts, with their overabundance of pockets, and styles such as jean shorts or common khaki shorts just don’t cut it for the function most men’s active lifestyles demand.

Today, we’ll outline how to identify the best shorts with modern innovations and styles that fit the top trends for your everyday wardrobe. 

Features To Look For

Men’s shorts rely on a number of factors in determining their quality, the first of which is fit. It’s important to choose a style that falls above the knee. Anywhere from a five-inch inseam to nine inches tends to be ideal—somewhere between short shorts and classic cargos. 

A relaxed fit is a great pick, and slim-fit is another top trending shorts style.

The theme of balance in fit continues into the functions the best men’s shorts provide. In the modern world, all shorts should be workout shorts—meaning they should hold their own when the heat picks up.

That’s why Tasc Performance has built our better fabric blend of organic cotton and bamboo. It’s a material that packs the performance power of the best workout clothes in an incredibly soft and comfortable feel.

Plus, unlike traditional cotton and synthetic fabrics, our blend uses only the most sustainable materials, meaning your shorts come from an environmentally responsible source.

Thanks to bamboo, our shorts offer the best moisture-wicking, breathability, temperature regulation, and odor resistance available—all wrapped up in one durable package.
