Men's Drawstring Printed Shorts with Pockets

How to measure

Use a soft cloth measuring tape. For the most accurate fit, measure a pair of shorts that already fits you well laid flat, or measure on your body while standing relaxed. Record measurements in inches and centimeters (1 in = 2.54 cm).

1. Waist
   • Flat: Lay the shorts flat and measure straight across the top of the waistband from seam to seam. Double that number to get the waist circumference.
   • On body: Measure around the natural waist where you usually wear your shorts. For elastic/drawstring waists measure both relaxed and gently stretched.
2. Hip / Seat
   • Flat: Measure across the fullest part of the shorts (about 7–9" / 18–23 cm down from the waistband), seam to seam, then double.
   • On body: Measure around the fullest part of your hips/seat while standing with feet together.
3. Front Rise
   • Flat: Measure from the top of the waistband at the front to the crotch seam.
   • On body: Measure from where the waistband sits in front down to the crotch point.
4. Back Rise
   • Flat: Measure from the top of the waistband at the back down to the crotch seam (back rise is typically longer than front rise).
5. Inseam
   • Flat: Measure from the crotch seam down the inside leg to the hem.
6. Outseam
   • Flat: Measure from the top of the waistband to the bottom hem along the outside seam.
7. Thigh
   • Flat: Measure across the leg 1"–2" (2.5–5 cm) down from the crotch seam, seam to seam, then double.
8. Leg Opening
   • Flat: Measure across the hem of one leg, then double. This determines how roomy the short sits at the thigh.

Tip: If you are between sizes, choose the larger size for a relaxed fit or the smaller size for a closer fit. Compare your values to the store size chart before ordering.

Materials & construction

These shorts are commonly produced in one of the following fabric constructions. Check the garment label for the exact composition for this specific item.

• 100% Cotton — soft, breathable, comfortable for everyday wear; breathable and easy to print on. May shrink slightly on first wash.
• Polyester / Polyester blends (e.g., 100% polyester or 65% polyester / 35% cotton) — quick-drying, colorfast, lightweight; ideal for travel and active use.
• Polyester + Elastane (e.g., 95% polyester / 5% elastane) — adds stretch and recovery for greater movement and comfort.
• Lining / Pockets — pocket bags or swim-style mesh linings are often 100% polyester for quick drainage and low bulk.

Common hardware and trim: elastic waistband with internal drawstring (cotton or polyester cord), reinforced pocket openings, stitched hems. If sustainability is important, look for tags stating recycled polyester or eco certifications (GOTS, Oeko‑Tex).

Model & fit information

Example model details used for photography (use these to gauge fit):

• Model height: 6'1" (185 cm)
• Model chest: 39" (99 cm) — waist: 30" (76 cm)
• Wearing size: M
• Inseam shown on model: approximately 7" (18 cm) — hits around mid-thigh for a modern, relaxed look

Fit note: These drawstring shorts typically offer an adjustable waist and a relaxed leg opening. If you prefer a slimmer silhouette, select one size down; if you want extra room, choose one size up.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Machine wash cold with like colors; turn printed garments inside out to protect the pattern.
• Use a gentle detergent and avoid chlorine bleach. For polyester/quick-dry fabrics, do not use fabric softener (it reduces moisture-wicking).
• Tumble dry low or hang to dry. Remove promptly from the dryer to avoid creasing and to preserve elastic and drawstring life.
• Iron on low heat if needed; avoid direct ironing over prints—iron inside out or place a cloth between iron and print.
• Rinse promptly after exposure to salt water or chlorine to prevent fading and fabric degradation.
• Spot-treat stains quickly with a mild stain remover; always test on an inside seam first.
• Store folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid long-term exposure to direct sunlight to prevent color fading.

Style tips

• Beach day: Pair with a white or neutral tank top, flip-flops or slides, and polarized sunglasses. Add a lightweight linen overshirt for sun protection.
• Casual weekend: Tuck the front of a plain tee into the shorts slightly, add low-profile sneakers or boat shoes for a clean, relaxed look.
• Sporty / active: Match with a moisture-wicking tee and running shoes. The drawstring waistband keeps the fit secure during movement.
• Smart-casual: For an evening out, pair printed shorts with a short-sleeve button-down or a lightweight polo and slip-on loafers or espadrilles—keep accessories minimal.
• Color & pattern pairing: For printed shorts, keep the top solid and neutral to balance the outfit, or pick one color from the print for a coordinated look. Avoid mixing multiple bold patterns.
• Proportion tips: If shorts are above the knee, opt for slightly looser tops; if they fall at/just above the knee, a slimmer top keeps the silhouette balanced.
