Men's Casual Drawstring Shorts | Ivory / S 100400135020884

How to measure

Use a soft cloth tape measure. Measure on bare skin or over lightweight underwear. Stand relaxed, keep the tape parallel to the floor and not pulled too tight. For drawstring shorts, measure where the waistband will sit (natural waist or hips) and allow a little ease for comfort.

1. Waist — Measure around the point where you normally wear your shorts (natural waist or hips). For a pair that already fits, lay it flat, measure across the waistband and multiply by two.
2. Hips — With feet together, measure around the fullest part of your hips/buttocks.
3. Inseam — Measure from the crotch seam straight down the inside leg to the hem. Common casual shorts inseams: ~5" (athletic), 7" (classic), 9" (longer/at-knee).
4. Front rise — Measure from the crotch seam up to the top of the front waistband. This tells you where the shorts will sit on the body.
5. Thigh — Measure around the fullest part of the thigh, about 1" (2–3 cm) below the crotch.
6. Outseam — Measure from the top of the waistband down the side seam to the hem.

Quick tips: If you sit between sizes, choose the larger for a relaxed fit or the smaller for a snug/tailored look. Account for fabric stretch (elastane/spandex) and possible shrinkage in natural fibers (cotton/linen).

Materials (common for Men's Casual Drawstring Shorts)

Below are typical fabric constructions and what to expect from each. Check the garment label for the exact composition of the item you are viewing.

• 100% Cotton — Soft, breathable and comfortable. Great for everyday and warm weather. May shrink slightly on first wash unless preshrunk. Typical weight: 160–220 gsm.
• Cotton/Polyester blends (e.g., 60/40) — Combines the comfort of cotton with the durability, shape retention and faster drying of polyester. Lower maintenance and less shrinkage.
• Polyester/Nylon technical fabrics — Lightweight, quick-drying and often treated with a DWR finish. Ideal for travel, active use and beach days; resists fading and abrasion.
• Linen or Linen blends — Exceptionally breathable and cool for hot weather; natural texture and light creasing. Often blended with cotton to reduce wrinkling.
• Elastane/Spandex (2–5%) — Small amounts add stretch and improved recovery for greater comfort and freedom of movement.
• Trims & hardware — Drawstrings: cotton or nylon cord; eyelets: metal or reinforced stitching; waistbands: elastic or elastic + drawstring.
• Sustainable options — Organic cotton, recycled polyester, lyocell/TENCEL and hemp blends are increasingly used for lower environmental impact.

Fabric weight guide: lightweight 120–160 gsm (airy summer shorts), medium 160–220 gsm (everyday casual), heavy >220 gsm (structured or utility shorts).

Model information

Reference model shown: 6'1" (185 cm) tall with a 31" (79 cm) waist and wearing size M. Fit shown is a regular/relaxed silhouette that sits at the waist with comfortable room through the hip and thigh. If you prefer a slimmer look, consider sizing down; for extra room, size up.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Wash — Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle. Turn shorts inside out to protect any prints or trims.
• Detergent & additives — Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach. Do not use fabric softener on quick-dry or technical fabrics (it reduces moisture-wicking performance).
• Dry — Tumble dry low or line dry. Remove promptly from dryer to reduce wrinkles. For linen or natural fibers, hanging to dry helps maintain shape.
• Iron — Low to medium heat as needed; iron inside out for prints. Use lower heat when elastane is present.
• Stain care — Pre-treat stains promptly with a gentle stain remover; avoid chlorine on colored fabrics.
• Hardware care — Secure drawstrings before washing (tie or tuck them) to prevent tangling. Check metal eyelets for corrosion and dry thoroughly if wet.
• Storage — Fold and store in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging by the waistband long-term to prevent stretching.
• Special finishes — Reapply DWR or water-repellent spray to technical shorts as needed, following the product instructions.

Style Tips

• Choose the right length — 5" inseam for athletic/shorter look, 7" for a classic everyday length, 9" for a longer, at-the-knee style.
• Casual weekend — Pair with a plain tee or Henley and low-top sneakers or slides. Add a baseball cap for a relaxed vibe.
• Smart-casual — Match neutral-colored shorts with a polo or a short-sleeve button-up and loafers or clean white sneakers. A lightweight unstructured blazer elevates the look for warm-weather social events.
• Beach & travel — Opt for quick-dry or nylon blends, a breathable tee or tank, and slip-on sandals. Packable fabrics roll tightly and resist wrinkles.
• Color & pattern pairing — Neutral shorts (khaki, navy, gray, black) pair well with bolder tops. Patterned or bright shorts work best with solid, muted shirts to balance the outfit.
• Layering — For cooler evenings, add a lightweight denim jacket, overshirt, or hoodie. Keep layers breathable to avoid overheating.
• Accessories — Woven canvas belts, minimal leather belts, sunglasses, and a casual watch complement the look. Choose no-show socks or ankle socks with low sneakers.
• Fit advice — If you prefer mobility for sports or active days, choose a pair with elastane and a slightly roomier thigh. For a sleeker silhouette, go for a slimmer cut and a shorter inseam.
