Men's Plus Size Drawstring Shorts with Pockets | Khaki / M 100400435452215

How to measure

Use the steps below to measure your body or an existing pair of shorts so you can choose the best size and fit.

Measure your body (to choose a size)

• Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist or where you normally wear shorts. Keep the tape snug but not tight. Record the circumference in inches or cm.
• Hip: Measure around the fullest part of your hips/buttocks while standing with feet together.
• Inseam: Measure from the crotch (where the seams meet) down the inside leg to the desired hem point.
• Thigh: Measure around the fullest part of the thigh, about 1" (2.5 cm) below the crotch.
• Rise: Front rise — measure from the crotch seam to the top of the front waistband. Back rise — from crotch seam to top of the back waistband. Rise affects how high the shorts sit.

Measure a similar garment (best for guaranteed fit)

Lay the shorts flat on a table and smooth wrinkles. Measure across then multiply by two to get the full circumference.

• Waist (laid flat): Measure straight across the top of the waistband, then double that number. For an elastic/drawstring waistband, measure both relaxed and gently stretched widths to know the range.
• Hips/Seat: Measure across the shorts at the widest point of the hips and double.
• Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the leg hem.
• Outseam/Length: Measure from the top of the waistband to the hem.
• Thigh: Measure straight across the leg 1" (2.5 cm) below the crotch seam and double.
• Leg opening: Measure across the hem and double for the circumference.

Tip: If you are between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort. Always compare your measurements to the product size chart where available.

Materials

These drawstring shorts are typically constructed for comfort and everyday wear. Exact fabric content varies by style—check the product label for the exact blend. Common material options and their benefits:

• 100% Cotton: Soft, breathable and comfortable for everyday wear; may have slight shrinkage if dried on high heat.
• Cotton / Polyester blend (e.g., 60/40): Softer than pure synthetic, more wrinkle- and shrink-resistant, easier care.
• Cotton + Elastane / Spandex (e.g., 95/5): Adds stretch for ease of movement and better recovery.
• 100% Polyester or Polyester blends: Lightweight, quick-dry and low-maintenance — good for travel and active use.

Construction details you may find:

• Elastic drawstring waistband (adjustable comfort)
• Deep side pockets and a back pocket (some styles include zipper or Velcro closure)
• Reinforced stitching at stress points for longer wear

Model information

For reference when judging fit:

• Model shown is 6'1" (185 cm), 210 lbs (95 kg), with a 40" (102 cm) waist.
• The model is wearing size 2XL and the shorts provide a relaxed, comfortable fit hitting just above the knee.
• If you prefer a roomier or more athletic cut, consider sizing up. For a closer fit, size down only if your waist and hip measurements match the smaller size exactly.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Follow these care tips to help the shorts retain shape, color and comfort:

• Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle.
• Turn the shorts inside out before washing to protect the exterior and any trims.
• Use a mild detergent; avoid bleach and harsh stain removers unless the care label permits them.
• Empty pockets and secure drawstrings before washing to prevent snagging; fasten any zippers or Velcro closures.
• Avoid fabric softener on quick-dry or moisture-wicking blends (it can reduce performance).
• Tumble dry low or, ideally, hang to dry to reduce shrinkage and preserve elasticity. Remove promptly from the dryer to avoid wrinkles.
• If ironing is needed, use a low setting and iron inside out. Do not iron over prints or elastic trims.
• Store folded—avoid heavy hanging that can stretch the waistband over time.

Quick fixes: Treat fresh stains as soon as possible with a gentle spot cleaner. For any special finishes or trims, always defer to the garment's care label instructions.

Style tips

How to wear these plus-size drawstring shorts for different occasions:

• Everyday casual: Pair with a fitted or semi-fitted tee and low-top sneakers. Tuck the tee slightly at the front to create a balanced silhouette.
• Smart-casual: Wear with a short-sleeve button-down or a polo and leather loafers or boat shoes. Choose a mid-length short (just above the knee) for a neater look.
• Beach / Pool: Combine with a lightweight tank or linen shirt and sandals or slides. Quick-dry fabric performs best around water.
• Active / Travel: Pair with a moisture-wicking tee and supportive trainers. Use the pockets for essentials—avoid overloading them to keep shape.
• Color & proportion tips: Monochrome or tonal outfits create a slimming vertical line. If you’re wearing patterned shorts, balance with a solid top. For broader hips/thighs, choose a slightly longer length and darker solids; for shorter legs, a shorter hem can help lengthen the appearance.
• Layering: Add an open lightweight shirt or a casual overshirt for structured lines; avoid bulky layers that add horizontal width.
• Accessories: A simple belt (if the design allows), a watch, and sunglasses complete the look without adding bulk.

Most importantly: choose what feels comfortable and confident. These shorts were designed for a relaxed, easygoing fit—use the size chart and body measurements above to find your best match.
