- Wearing shorts is one of the best ways to stay cool and casual when it's hot outside. Shorts are perfect for weekend shenanigans, dog walks, the beach, the pool, barbecues, picnics, romantic walks in the park…you get the point.
Shorts are inherently casual, but that doesn't mean they have to look adolescent and sloppy. So why do most men look so bad wearing shorts? Well, they're just not wearing them correctly.
Their shorts don't fit properly, and they're not wearing the right styles. This video teaches you how to avoid these mistakes so you look amazing wearing shorts, just like the laid back, stylish gent you really are!

**looks at shorts I own with shame**
😂
I look at my worn out cargo shorts with camoflage pattern with pride
i have cargo shorts of shame 😢
@@ramongabata1972 throw them out
This is awesome!! Totally agree with the fit tips. Shorter shorts are something I'm starting to enjoy more and never thought that I would.
Perfect styling advice! Tasteful and modern.
Absolutely right about everything you said,great advice.
I agree with you. in the summer, shorts are a must.
Finally, thank you Brock been waiting on this for so long.
For years been buying Shorts from Old Navy all I find is 10 inch shorts. Recently just started going to J Crew Factory I'm like 5'6" started wearing 7 inch shorts and they did went up to my knees I was impressed.
Thank goodness for this upload. For years I've been putting them on my head!
re-watched this video after a year and my style has changed drastically. When I first watched this video I was 5'11 - 280 pounds. I wore around a 9" inch inseam with a 42-inch waist. I'm now around 195 pounds and gravitate towards 5.5-6" inseam with a 34-inch waist. Chubbies is a brand I love, they make southern-frat style shorts that are short but with smaller/muscular thighs they look great!
How did you lose so much weight?
Excellent work man! I’m 6’0”, and at my max I was pushing 330 lbs wearing 46-48 Levi’s, I’m now 175-180 lbs, and wear 32s with ease. I have to agree with the whole style thing, I can’t stand anything past regular fit, back then I was all about relaxed fit, now I lean towards slim all the time. Shorts I can’t do anything past a 8” inseam, 10” at most, but then I cuff them to at least an 8”. It sure is a great feeling, congrats!
Alfred Hernandez congrats! Could you give me some tips to lose weight?
Woah! That's is some serious weight loss
I've been meaning to watch this one and finally did, great content. I totally agree, baggy and long shorts look sloppy and make an already short, to mid height person look even shorter and more bulky. I'm at 5'8" and like wearing Ralph Lauren 6" length shorts
All excellent, sound advices. Thumbs up
I’m really happy that you taught me to wear shorts
Really good video, you nailed this topic on the head. In particular it was really good you mentioned the flaring that happens with some shorts. Looks horrible. Thanks!
Great video Brock! I’ve started wearing chino shorts with a cuff, love the look & vibe they bring.
Very nice!
Haha, What you said about cargo shorts was very funny, great video as always, cheers
Great stuff Brock, timely too!
Love your videos, this one was great as always Brock! As a 5'2''' guy its incredibly hard to find clothes that fit and these videos help give me a guideline and look presentable.
P.S. I gotta agree with you on the length of shorts, anything longer looks odd
U always giving good advice thanks :)
I found really nice fit and quality shorts in vans for 25 bucks, really recommend them. Nice video!
Awesome info thank you so much!
I agree with you on how to wear shorts and what not to wear
uniqlo and H&M shorts for me
uniqlo always kills it!
I like their kando shorts but damn it's pricey. Kinda have a problem with polo shirts with regards to its length, costs more to go have a fix from a tailor.
i do love wearing slim shorts just because I do like the style of it!
awesome video Brock it was awesome meeting you at Menfluential your lighting is A1
You too, sir! Hope to see you again sometime 👍🏻
I’ve been very happy with the Target Goodfellow & Co shorts. They are $19 and have a good trim fit with a nice amount of stretch to remain comfortable. They are available in 7”, 9” and 10.5” in a wide range of colors and materials like chino, cotton linen and my favorite chambray. The quality feels decent, although they may shrink some in the wash.
I am 5’9” and have pretty short meaty legs, so I prefer the 7” or 9” with one cuff. I feel like visually it elongates my leg slightly to keep me from looking bottom heavy and dumpy.
Love the content! Keep up the great work!
Just bought a few pairs of these on sale for $15 each, bought a few 7-9 inch ones and I'm really happy with the fit.
That whole collection is so good!
I bought the same shorts at Target too. Nice quality and fit. I went for the 7" leg. I'm 5'7 and longer shorts go below my knees.
Alex Fingerhut I go to target to buy shorts too since I’m 6 ft I buy the 10.5 they sit right at my knee they look great and are really comfortable
I will be buying all my shorts at Target since I'm 5'4" and NEED the 6-7" ones to keep from looking like I'm wearing cargo shorts. And when I wear cargo shorts they look like dumpy capris, like he said. 😂
Agree! Good advice on wearing shorts.
Great advice with no pretense 😎
EXCELLENT VIDEO BROCK!
Thanks a lot for this video
I learned a lot😁
Nice tips👏 thanks for that👌
I must share this with some of my friends that don’t know how to wear proper shorts 👌🏽👌🏽
modestman always got our backs 👌🏻. Was actually gonna go shop for some shorts, this made it easier
👊🏼
I love your tips
thanks for the tips bro
Nice channel. Good info. Thanks. Became a subscriber by now.
This was helpful!
100% agree to ur ideas
Solid colors are always a safe bet for sure. By the way, you look great!
Great tips!!!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Mabuhay!❤🇵🇭
Good stuff...vid works well as a refresher! One of best shorts are Bonobos and JCrew shorts. Always my go-to in terms of great value, options and colors options for my shorts shopping. Bonobos has alot of color options too! And the quality of Bonobos is just superb!
Love your hairstyle bruv
I’m so agree man...😊😊😊
Wonderful advice, and perspectives! These days it is difficult to find any real shorts for men. The style got high jacked by the ghetto version of something that is in my perspective more like old style English "Nickers" for children. It is almost all you can find these days. I personally like them shorter, even like the traditional tennis shorts. Women get to have variation in length, so what ridiculous designer all of a sudden decided men have to be stuck with one version hanging below their knees. It is crazy!
Good to hear from someone else that likes real short pants for men.
Thank u Sir for your advice
Great ideas! 👍👍
Good objective presentation, thanks.
Thanks for your movies
Help me so much !
Thanks !
Nice man......well.explained....
This was Good video!
Hey new subriber here ..yeah i agree about you told in this video..am a fashion in the Philippines with dry weather 🌞🌞so i always wear shorts coz it's comfortable and very stylish special in plain color..😊😊😊
great vid brock! i think you nailed it on the head here, the big problem is that although a lot of ppl have hopped on the short-shorts train, the taper is still very crucial to getting a slim silhouette. do you have any brand recommendations?
I totally agree
Definitely wanted a video dedicated to this. I have a couple of BR shorts that I like, but they recently changed their lengths and I'm not a huge fan anyone. Will give those topman shorts a look!
I think you’ll like them 👍🏻
thanks for this unique idea in men fashion statement.. 😉
You just got a new subscriber.
You're absolutely right especially when one has nothing to be ashamed of to show his legs.. Moreover the wide safari things tend to react and flip upon movement and perhaps requiring adjustment upon sitting.. Haha
I do agree with the most of your points except cargo shorts! ... It's very popular and practical moreover some brands make it looks so cool
Hi! I enjoyed your tips, and they're mostly what I've heard over recent years. I must admit to liking cargo shorts as well. I never use the pockets (I always have a bag with all of my necessary take-alongs), but I find good fitting cargos very sexy. And shorter shorts tend to make a guy look a little more juvenile, in my opinion - but I wouldn't wear shots below the knee!
Thanks for addressing the short lengths! I think that's my trouble I'm facing here. I'm 6'1" and I actually wear 7 inch shorts from American Eagle/Hollister (NO name brands shown) as I like that they're somewhat slim fit. But I can't help but feel that my 7 inch shorts are TOO short depending on what tees/shirts I wear (M Tall), so now I'm thinking of getting 9 inch ones for my long legs. I actually got two pairs of 9 inch slim jean shorts from Express, which also happen to be my favorite shorts I truly feel comfortable in. I like to show legs, but I also don't want to look unflattering.
love the lonely island homage yesss
I really enjoyed the video! Shorts are tuff to get the size right, but once you get a good pair your set for summer! I do hold on to my cargos since I am a dad with kids.. I need those extra pockets to hold tickets, phones, and whatever dad things I need to carry. Again, great video!
Nice.. thank you
I agree with the cargo though i used one of those but rarely put something on the pockets heehhe
Salmon Pink/Coral Slim Chino Shorts are pretty much a men's wardrobe staple these days here in England, I love them. And they're usually a pair from Next, if any Brits are interested
Good perspectives here. I see so many shorts that have huge leg openings and are way too long. I found Mossimo and Merona (brands) shorts to be a great fit for me. Used to be sold at Target.
Gap chino shorts are my favorite 9inch
Thank u ...
Great vidoe
I just started wearing short shorts for the summers. Not only do I feel more comfortable and confident in them, but I also feel and look more taller and fitter because I’m quite a short guy; 5’ 8” to be exact.
There’s nothing wrong with wearing patterned or ripped shorts. As long as your top contrasts it, you’re fine.
Example: plain Black fit V neck shirt with a ripped (destressed) denim shorts or visa versa with patterned and so forth.
man so nice to find you well I try to pay attention How I look on shorts I like how you explain your point good for me that I am tailor I do alterations well Id subscribe already to this channel and Instagram b the way your diction is great take care
How to wear shorts?
Put them on.
...but then what?
Pull in your zipper button it and put on your belt. A shirt works too.
How do so many guys screw it up tho?
and do you take it off?
Throw in a fresh clean shirt in the mix and then off you go with your normal everyday shorts life
What are your thoughts on Flat Front, Classic Fit or Atwood shorts? Having a hard time finding Chino shorts in my stores in my area
I agree that chino shorts or flat front shorts look better with polo shirts or for a more professional look, however cargo shorts have their place in the world too. I've received compliments on my stone island cargo shorts
I think full guide on how to order a suit online would be nice idea for a video.
mango man is coool when it comes to shorts.
Great!!!
Great tips! I agree with everything said here, but the hard part is finding shorts that fit these criteria. Almost everywhere I go, the shorts are either too long and baggy, or extremely tight and feminine.
friendly76 shorts ARE feminine
Mick9 😂😂😂 such a sad worldview
come to Asia every where shorts so skinny haha
go to tailor man . sometime fit on the hip but too long . lenght is good but the hip too small .
some time you are lucky and find one brand fit you
Never thought so much about shorts. I wear Army print cargo shorts that are past the knee and wide. Maybe it's time for an upgrade.
Shorts and no-show socks are where it’s at 👌🏽
New subscriber here!
Please make a video about which shoes and socks to wear with shorts!
Will do!
Vans or boat shoes with no show socks.
I wear sneakers and socks that match the color of the shorts. Looks ok to me.
No long socks with shorts. It's not a great look and not sure why guys do it. always short socks to the ankle with shorts.
Joe you push the socks down a few inches.
Amazing video, and I completely. I quite like the dockers "perfect short" on Amazon for anywhere from $17 to $25, it comes with a smartphone pocket on the side that's quite convenient. I have 3 pairs, in grey, navy and khaki that have served me well for some time. They finish above the knee but I double cuff mine for a better look and feel. You can check it out guys.
Spot on! I have slim legs so the only way i can wear shorts is the way ypu describe them.
What a great video! I agree with the shorts assessments. Cargo shorts need to be burnt and done away with
I like Reef brand. I have skinny legs too and they fit nicely...great length too. They are also light weight, don’t wrinkle, and breathe well. Spendy but worth it. Oh, and they come with a drawstring in case you want to go in the water (I don’t live near a beach so I remove the drawstring).
As long as we have confidence we can wear anything
as long as no one judges we can wear anything
Thankfully in Europe most people wear proper shorts
elastic shorts are my favorite my question what is the best shorts for collage 😎😎😊😊
I have dark knees and likes to wear shorts that shows my knees and I don't care what other people say.
My hear is hairy as hell 😂
@@kerbyvalenzuela4210 lol mine to but shaving makes it look more weird kind of women legs
Dark knees wth lol.
Hi Brock. Thanks for a very helpful video. I'm 5'6". What inseem length would be about one inch above the knee in my case? I don't think I'd be too comfort going shorter.
Probably 7, 8 or 9, depending on your proportions.
This is a fantastic PSA for ALL men.
Cargo pockets are great for concealed carry
I'm a new subscriber. I think pretty good advice here but I do have some qualms:
- I think too-short shorts look like you're trying to hard to hard to be fashionable. At 1:46 I think they are just too short with too much bare leg distracting from the rest of your overall look. At 5:27, that's a good look.
- I think it's worth pointing out that the top's overall tailoring should match the short's tailoring. So, if you have tailored shorts, you should have a tailored top. You seem to lean to the tailored look because you have the frame for it. But for somebody that is a little less proud of their physique, they could work a less tailored top and a less tailored short. The larger top would cover the top of the short and mitigate the "trapezoid effect." I agree with your overall point nonetheless, that there is a point of no return on baginess and it can make you look like you have chicken legs.
- I think it's also worth mentioning the type of footwear one should wear with shorts. And as you aptly demonstrate, it's usually sockless. I think if you have to wear a hiking boot with the requisite socks, a longer short looks better but I've heard the opposite so, you know...
- I disagree with three of your four style tips. In order of offense, least to most.... a) I think cargo shorts, though often worn incorrectly, are ok for taller guys especially if you do a loose fit top or layers. I also think they're good for hiking as they do serve a utiliatiran purpose and the big boots and long socks detract from their bulk. b) logo shorts are pretty trendy right now and I think they're ok for the gym. c) Plaid shorts are awesome!!! I'm a little suprised you don't like them. Just put a solid top and you've got a winner!
Sorry to be so picky! I had some free time on my hands :)
Would you recommend a short man ( 5.5) to wear a pair or timberland? Thanks
What do you think of ZARA brand? Are they worth it?
totes agree. long live short shorts.
This explains why I was so visually offended by a man the other day. His shorts were the equivalent of a tea length dress on a woman, paired with sneakers and socks, and a shirt that covered his butt. It looked as though he was missing a few feet in height!
All of this is to say, I appreciate your technical breakdowns and explaining why proportions are important.
Yikes you’re that easily offended by someone wearing clothing that they like?
Ya know when I walk around going about my business Im not judging other people and what they should or shouldnt be wearing. But thats just me.
You said you researched what short length should be. What does that entail exactly?
Wow I love to wear shorts all time
