Men's Full Size Elastic Waist Shorts — Plus Size

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape. For best accuracy, measure over undergarments or a pair of well‑fitting shorts you already own.

1. Waist: Measure around where you'll wear the waistband (natural waist or slightly below for low-rise). Keep the tape snug but not tight. If measuring a garment flat, measure straight across the waistband unstretched, then multiply by 2 to get the circumference. Also measure stretched width to understand max elastic stretch.
2. Hip/Seat: Measure around the fullest part of the hips/seat with feet together.
3. Thigh: Measure around the fullest part of the upper thigh while standing naturally.
4. Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam down the inner leg to the bottom hem. For garment measurement, measure the same seam on a laid‑flat pair of shorts.
5. Outseam/Length: Measure from the top of the waistband to the bottom hem along the outside leg.
6. Rise: Front rise: from the crotch seam to the top front of the waistband. Back rise: from the crotch seam to the top back of the waistband.

Quick tips: if you prefer a roomier fit, add 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) to your body waist measurement before selecting size. Always compare your measurements to the product's size chart when available.

Materials & features

Typical construction for these full‑size elastic waist shorts:

• Main fabric (typical): 60% cotton / 35% polyester / 5% spandex — soft, breathable cotton comfort with polyester durability and a touch of stretch for mobility.
• Alternative/other batches: some styles may use 95% cotton / 5% elastane or 100% cotton — check the garment tag for exact composition.
• Waistband: Fully elasticized with internal drawcord for adjustable fit; elastic is covered for comfort.
• Pockets: Deep side pockets, often with cotton or polyester lining; some versions include a back pocket with button or hook closure.
• Fabric weight & feel: Medium weight (comfortable year‑round), soft hand, with enough structure to hold shape but flexible for movement.

Note: exact fiber content varies by style and production run — always check the product label for the definitive composition and care symbols.

About the model (fit reference)

Example fit reference to help choose size:

• Model shown: 6'0" (183 cm) with a 38" (97 cm) waist, wearing size 2XL for a relaxed, full‑coverage fit.
• If you prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down one size; if you want maximum comfort or plan to wear layers, size up.
• When between measurements, choose the larger size for better comfort and longer wear of the elastic waistband.

Always consult the specific size chart for this product; measurements and fit can vary slightly by cut and fabric.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Cold water reduces shrinkage and color loss.
• Turn shorts inside out before washing to protect exterior color and trims.
• Use a mild detergent; avoid chlorine bleach. Skip fabric softener — it can break down elastic fibers and reduce moisture‑management performance.
• Tumble dry low or, preferably, hang to dry in the shade to extend elastic life and prevent fading. Avoid high heat.
• If ironing is needed, use low heat and avoid ironing directly over elastic waistbands, trims, prints, or labels.
• To treat stains, pre‑treat promptly with a gentle stain remover and launder as usual. For protein stains (e.g., blood), rinse in cold water before washing.
• Do not dry clean unless the garment label explicitly allows it.
• Store folded rather than hanging by the waistband for long periods to avoid stretching the elastic.

Style tips

• Casual everyday: pair with a fitted or relaxed crewneck tee and low‑top sneakers or slides for easy comfort.
• Athleisure: combine with a moisture‑wicking polo or performance tee and athletic shoes; add a lightweight hoodie for cooler moments.
• Smart‑casual: choose a neutral color (navy, charcoal, khaki), match with a short‑sleeve button‑down or casual linen shirt and loafers or boat shoes.
• Proportions: for plus sizes, a mid‑knee length provides balanced proportions—too short can visually shorten the leg line.
• Colors & patterns: solid neutrals are versatile; subtle stripes or tonal checks pair well with plain tops to avoid busy looks.
• Accessories: a woven belt through the belt loops, a casual watch, and simple sunglasses finish a pulled‑together look.
• Comfort tips: use the drawcord to fine‑tune the fit; if you carry bulkier items in pockets, consider sizing up to avoid pulling.

Reminder: product specifications such as exact fabric blend, pocket configuration, and size ranges can vary by style. Check the product label and size chart for the most accurate information before purchasing.
