Men's Plus Size Drawstring Shorts with Pockets — Fit, Materials & Care

How to measure

To choose the best size, measure a pair of shorts that fit you well or measure your body directly. Always measure flat with a soft tape measure and convert flat measurements to circumference by multiplying by 2.

1. Waist (where you wear the shorts): Measure the waistband at the point you intend to wear the shorts (natural waist or slightly below the navel). For elastic/drawstring shorts take two measures:
   • Relaxed: Measure the unstretched waistband flat across, then multiply by 2.
   • Stretched: Gently pull the waistband to the comfortable maximum stretch, measure flat, then multiply by 2 (shows total adjustable range).
2. Hip: Measure around the fullest part of your hips/buttocks.
3. Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam to the bottom edge of the hem. This tells you how long the leg will be.
4. Outseam / Total length: Measure from the top of the waistband straight down to the hem.
5. Front rise: Measure from the crotch seam up to the top of the front waistband. This affects how the shorts sit on your waist/hips.
6. Thigh: Measure 1"–2" below the crotch seam across the leg (flat), then multiply by 2 for circumference.

Quick conversion: 1 in = 2.54 cm. If you already own shorts that fit, lay them flat and compare the flat measurements (then multiply by 2) to the product’s size chart. If you’re between sizes, choose the larger size for more comfort—drawstring allows minor adjustments.

Materials

Exact fabric composition is printed on the product label; below are common material options and what to expect from each:

• 100% Cotton — Soft, breathable and comfortable for everyday wear. May shrink slightly on first wash; machine wash cold and tumble low or hang dry to minimize shrinkage.
• Cotton / Polyester blend (e.g., 60/40) — Combines the breathability of cotton with polyester’s durability and color retention. Low-maintenance, resists wrinkles and shrinking.
• Polyester / Performance fabrics — Lightweight, quick-drying and moisture-wicking (great for active use). Avoid high heat when drying to preserve fibers.
• Linen / Linen blends — Extremely breathable and cool for hot weather. Tends to wrinkle; hang dry and iron on low steam if desired.
• Modal / Viscose blends — Very soft with a nice drape; retains color well. Wash on gentle cycle and air-dry when possible.
• Elastane / Spandex (2–5%) — Adds stretch and recovery for comfort and mobility. Keep away from high heat.
• Pocket lining — Often lightweight cotton or polyester mesh for durability and breathability.

Note: hardware such as drawstring tips or zippers may be plastic or metal depending on the style.

About the model

The model images are provided as a reference for fit and proportion. For photo reference, the model is shown wearing a larger/plus size to illustrate how the shorts drape—use the product size chart and the measurement guidance above to match your measurements. Fit notes: these shorts are designed for a relaxed, comfortable cut with an adjustable drawstring—if you prefer a slimmer look, choose the next smaller size only if your waist measurement falls within that size’s range.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Machine wash cold with like colors; use a gentle detergent.
• Turn shorts inside out to reduce abrasion on the outside and protect any prints or trims.
• Do not bleach. Avoid fabric softeners on moisture-wicking/performance fabrics (they reduce absorbency).
• Tumble dry low or hang/line dry. Remove promptly from dryer to reduce wrinkles. High heat can damage elastane and shrink natural fibers.
• Iron on low heat if needed; use steam for natural fibers. Avoid ironing directly on any labels, trims or prints.
• For linen and delicate blends, consider a gentle cycle or hand wash and line dry.
• Treat stains promptly with a mild stain remover; blotted treatment works best for oil-based stains.
• Storage: fold and store in a cool, dry place. Avoid over-hanging heavy items on thin hangers to prevent distortion.
• Quick refresh: for natural-fiber shrinkage or stiffness, soak in lukewarm water with a small amount of hair conditioner or gentle fabric relaxer, rinse, gently stretch back to desired shape, and air dry flat.

Style Tips

• Casual everyday: Pair with a mid-weight cotton tee or a relaxed polo and low-top sneakers. Keep the look balanced—if the shorts are relaxed, opt for a semi-fitted top.
• Summer / beach: Wear with a linen or lightweight cotton shirt, slides or sandals, and sunglasses. Choose shorter inseams (7–9") for a breezy look.
• Athleisure / active: Combine with a moisture-wicking tee and athletic sneakers. The drawstring keeps fit secure during movement.
• Smart-casual: Tuck in a neat polo or short-sleeve button-down and add loafers or minimalist sneakers; choose neutral colors (navy, khaki, olive, black) for versatility.
• Color pairing: Neutral shorts pair easily with brighter tops; for printed shorts keep the top simple to avoid clashing. Match shoe tone to belt or accessory for cohesion.
• Proportion tips for plus sizes: Aim for balance—a clean, well-fitting top with structured shoulders helps create a balanced silhouette. Shorts that hit at or just above the knee are widely flattering; avoid extremely long or baggy hems if you prefer a cleaner line.
• Accessories: Minimal watch, canvas belt (or leave drawstring visible for casual looks), caps or lightweight hats for sun protection.

If you need a precise fit, compare your body or a favorite-fitting pair of shorts against the product size chart and the measurement steps above before ordering.
