 The Best Short Shorts Respectfully Slut Out Your Thighs

Evan Malachosky

After decades of swishy athletic styles dominating the category, the best short shorts for men have reclaimed the limelight. The face (as it were) of their resurgence might just be the actor Paul Mescal, who takes any opportunity to show off his thighs, only last week confirming to GQ that he remains a “big advocate” for shorter inseams. But what, exactly, makes a short a short short? To us, a short short is any design that has a 5-inch inseam or less. Naturally, we’ve applied that mindset to this extensive guide, taking special care to source plenty of 3-inch options as well.

Any guys looking to feel the rays on their thighs imminently are in luck. Our survey of short shorts unearthed plenty of workout-ready nylon options to help you rack up road miles or float your way through flutter kicks at the gym, along with just as many coffee-run-only pairs for sunny weekend mornings. Their benefits extend beyond an increased range of motion: When paired with the right T-shirt, shorter shorts help lengthen your silhouette, making your legs look, well, leggier (and the rest of you look a whole lot taller) in the process.
