Shorts for Men

The M&S India collection covers a wide range of shorts for men, including cargo, chino, denim, jersey, linen, swim and trekking styles, plus different fits, colours, fabrics and lengths, so there's a decent chance of finding something for your everyday wardrobe.

What could be different occasions to wear shorts?

The right pair moves easily from one part of your day to the next. Fabric, length and small details matter more than people expect before choosing a style.

Beach

For holidays and beach days, lightweight swim shorts are the obvious pick. Quick-dry designs help a lot when you're going back and forth between the water and everything else. M&S has swim shorts in different prints, lengths and designs, quick-dry included.

For a relaxed beach outfit, pair them with a simple cotton T-shirt, a casual shirt and comfortable sandals.

Casual Outings

Coffee runs, shopping trips, meeting friends, denim, chino and cargo styles all work here. Denim leans more casual, while chino gives you a cleaner smart-casual look.

Cargo styles earn their keep when you need extra pocket space. The M&S range includes cargo designs with multiple pockets, along with stretch options for easier movement.

Loungewear

When comfort matters most, jersey and cotton-rich styles suit relaxed days at home. Go for an elasticated waist and softer fabric if you want something easy to live in.

M&S currently does cotton-rich loungewear as well as elasticated-waist styles, both useful additions to a relaxed wardrobe.

What to wear with shorts?

It really depends on the shorts. A plain T-shirt is the easy match for denim or cargo, and it works fine for everyday dressing. Want something a little smarter? Try a polo shirt with chino shorts.

In warmer weather, linen or cotton-blend styles pair well with lightweight shirts for an effortless look. Neutral shades like navy, beige, white and black are the easiest to mix with different tops.

Going for a sporty look? Gym shorts work well with a performance T-shirt and trainers. Interestingly, some people search for gymnastic shorts when they mean the same kind of stretchy, high-mobility fit, so the styling advice carries over. For anything more relaxed, a loose-fitting top and comfortable footwear does the job.

What type of footwear goes with shorts?

Footwear changes the whole feel of an outfit. Trainers are the versatile choice for casual outings and everyday wear. Canvas shoes suit denim, and loafers give chino shorts a more polished look.

For holidays and beach trips, sandals or sliders make the most sense. Heading outdoors instead? Supportive trainers or walking shoes are probably the better call.

The main thing is keeping the footwear in line with the occasion. Well-fitting shorts, a clean T-shirt and fresh trainers cover a lot of casual plans on their own.
