Men's Plus Size Drawstring Shorts with Pockets | Mocha / M 100400387897760

How to measure — find the right fit

These drawstring shorts are adjustable at the waist, so taking accurate measurements will help you choose the most comfortable size. For best results measure both your body and a pair of shorts that already fits the way you like.

Measuring your body

1. Waist — Measure around the point where you normally wear your shorts (natural waist or just below the navel if you wear them lower). Keep the tape parallel to the floor and snug but not tight.
2. Hips — Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat, keeping the tape level across the back.
3. Thigh — Measure around the fullest part of the upper thigh, just below the crotch.
4. Inseam — Measure from the crotch seam down to the bottom hem of a pair of shorts that fits the length you prefer.
5. Outseam / Overall length — Measure from the top of the waistband down the side seam to the hem.
6. Front rise — Measure from the crotch seam straight up to the top of the front waistband to know where the shorts will sit on your body.

Measuring a pair of shorts (laid flat)

1. Waist (flat) — Lay the shorts flat, smooth out wrinkles, measure straight across the top of the waistband and double that number for circumference.
2. Inseam — Measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the hem.
3. Outseam — Measure from the top edge of the waistband to the hem along the outside seam.
4. Leg opening — Measure across the hem and double for circumference.
5. Front rise — From crotch seam to top of front waistband.

Fit guidance: For a relaxed, comfortable fit allow about 1–4 inches (2.5–10 cm) of ease at the waist. If you prefer a closer fit, aim for 0–1 inch (0–2.5 cm) of ease. When between sizes, sizing up will give a more relaxed feel and better room for movement.

Materials & construction

Built for comfort and everyday use, these Men's Plus Size Drawstring Shorts combine breathable fabric with durable details.

• Main fabric: Soft, breathable cotton‑rich blend with a touch of stretch for mobility and ease of movement.
• Pocketing: Lightweight polyester or cotton pocket linings for quick drying and durability.
• Trim & hardware: Sturdy drawstring cord (cotton or polyester) with reinforced eyelets or metal grommets; reinforced seams at stress points.
• Finish: Pre-washed for a softer hand and reduced shrinkage (specific finish may vary by color/style).

Note: Exact fiber percentages and finishes can vary by color or production run — check the garment tag or the product specifications on this page for the precise composition of the pair you’re viewing.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

• Machine wash cold with like colors to preserve color and minimize shrinkage.
• Use a mild detergent; avoid bleach or strong stain removers that can weaken fibers.
• Turn shorts inside out before washing to protect trims and reduce surface wear.
• Secure the drawstring and empty pockets before laundering to prevent tangling or damage.
• Tumble dry low or line dry. Remove promptly from the dryer to reduce wrinkles and maintain shape.
• If ironing is needed, iron inside out on a warm setting; avoid direct contact with metal hardware.
• Avoid dry cleaning unless the care label specifically permits it.
• Catch small snags or loose threads early—repairing quickly extends garment life.

Style tips

• Everyday casual: Pair with a plain or graphic tee and low-top sneakers for an easy weekend outfit.
• Beach / pool: Wear with a tank top or short-sleeve linen shirt and slide sandals.
• Active: Match with a moisture-wicking tee and trainers; the drawstring keeps the shorts secure during movement.
• Smart-casual: Team with a lightweight polo or an untucked short-sleeve button-up and boat shoes or loafers for a cleaner look.
• Color & pattern tips: Darker solid colors create a slimming base; bold patterns work well when balanced with neutral tops.
• Proportions for plus sizes: Aim for shorts that hit just above the knee to balance proportions; avoid overly long or very short lengths that can visually shorten the legs.
• Layering: Add an unlined overshirt, short-sleeve jacket, or open button-up for cooler evenings without adding bulk.
• Accessories: A simple woven belt (if desired), sunglasses and a casual watch complete the outfit without overpowering it.
• Travel-friendly: These shorts typically pack well and resist heavy wrinkling—roll them with shirts to save suitcase space.
