Men's Plus Size Drawstring Shorts with Pockets | Coffee Brown / M 100400763074278

How to measure

Use the steps below to measure your body and the shorts so you can pick the best fit. For most drawstring shorts the waistband position matters (waist vs. low-rise), so measure where you expect the shorts to sit.

Measure your body (recommended)

• Waist — Measure around the natural waistline or where you want the shorts to sit. Keep the tape comfortably snug. Record circumference.
• Hips — Measure around the fullest part of your hips/buttocks while standing with feet together.
• Thigh — Measure around the fullest part of one thigh (about 1–2" down from the crotch).
• Inseam (for length) — Measure from the crotch seam down the inside leg to the desired hem point. Common short inseams: 7", 9", 11".
• Front rise — Measure from the top of the waistband to the crotch seam; helps determine where the shorts sit on the torso.

Measure the garment (shorts laid flat)

• Waist (flat) — Lay shorts flat, smooth but do not stretch. Measure across the waistband and double that number for the circumference. Note whether that value is relaxed or stretched.
• Hip (flat) — Measure across the shorts at the fullest point (usually 2"–3" below the crotch seam) and double.
• Inseam (flat) — Measure from the crotch seam to the hem.
• Outseam — Measure from the top of the waistband to the hem for total length.
• Leg opening — Measure across the hem and double to get circumference.

How to match measurements: compare your body measurements with the flat (garment) measurements plus ease. For comfortable wear allow roughly 2–4" (5–10 cm) ease at the waist and 2–6" (5–15 cm) at the hips depending on how relaxed you want the fit. If in doubt, size up for a plus-size relaxed fit.

Materials

These shorts are made from fabrics commonly used for plus-size drawstring shorts. Check the product label for exact composition. Typical options and what they mean:

• 100% cotton — Soft, breathable, comfortable for everyday wear. May shrink slightly with hot wash; best washed cold.
• Cotton blends (e.g., cotton/polyester) — More durable, wrinkle-resistant, holds shape better after washing.
• Polyester with stretch (polyester + elastane/ spandex) — Quick-drying, retains stretch and recovery; great for active or travel shorts.
• Linen or linen blends — Lightweight and breathable for warm weather; naturally wrinkles but looks relaxed and breezy.
• Knit finishes (jersey, French terry) — Soft hand, drapey and comfortable for lounge or casual wear.

Trim and construction notes: drawstring cords are usually polyester or cotton; waistband may be elasticized or drawstring-only; pocket bags are often cotton or poly lining. Look for reinforced seams at pockets and crotch for better durability.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Turn shorts inside out before washing to protect colors and trims (especially drawstrings and any prints).
• Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent.
• Avoid bleach and strong stain removers unless the care label allows them.
• Tie drawstrings together or secure them so they don’t get pulled into the waistband during washing.
• Tumble dry low or, preferably, hang to dry to reduce shrinking and extend fabric life. Remove promptly from dryer to avoid wrinkles.
• If ironing is needed, use low heat and avoid direct heat on elasticized waistbands or trim with elastic.
• Do not dry-clean unless label specifies dry-clean only.
• Store folded in a cool, dry place; avoid long-term exposure to direct sunlight which can fade colors.

Quick stain tip: treat fresh stains promptly with a gentle stain remover; test on an inconspicuous area first.

Style Tips

• Casual everyday: pair with a plain or graphic tee and canvas sneakers for an easy, comfortable look.
• Smart casual: add a short-sleeve linen or chambray button-up and leather sandals or loafers.
• Active/travel: pop them on with a moisture-wicking tee and slip-on trainers for breathability and movement.
• Layering: throw a lightweight overshirt or an open button-down over a tee to add structure.
• Color pairing: neutrals (navy, gray, black, olive, khaki) are versatile — match with brighter tops or keep it tonal for a streamlined look.
• Length & proportion: knee-length or just-above-the-knee shorts balance well with bulkier tops; if shorts are longer, choose a slim top to avoid looking boxy.
• Shoe choices: sneakers, boat shoes, espadrilles or sandals all work — choose based on activity and desired polish level.
• Accessories: a simple belt (if shorts have belt loops), a casual watch, and sunglasses finish the outfit.
• For a slimming appearance: darker colors and vertical or elongated layers (open shirt or longline tee) help create visual length.
• If you like a tailored look, press the hem lightly or create a single cuff for a cleaner finish.

Quick fit tip: because these are drawstring shorts, you can fine-tune the waist with the cord — choose the size that best matches your hips/seat for comfort and use the drawstring to adjust the waist snugness.
