While wearing shorts, there is actually a proper length one needs to determine to order to make sure that your shorts appear the most flattering. The fit and length of your shorts, just as with trousers, are crucial to the overall aesthetic.<\/p>\n<p>5&#8243;, 7&#8243;, 9&#8243;, and 11&#8243; are the most frequent lengths for men&#8217;s shorts. Overall, your entire measurement will be determined by your height.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Men&#8217;s shorts, however, should never reach beyond the knee, no matter how confident or insecure you are. The absolute maximum length for shorts should be around the top of your kneecap, with the optimal length being 1&#8243; to 3&#8243; above the knee.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4071\" src=\"https:\/\/www.owenandfred.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/how-long-should-mens-shorts-be.jpg\" alt=\"men's shorts length guide\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.owenandfred.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/how-long-should-mens-shorts-be.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.owenandfred.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/how-long-should-mens-shorts-be-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><br \/>\nContinue reading to learn how to choose the length of your shorts, how men&#8217;s shorts should fit and more.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-flat ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #5b5b5b;color:#5b5b5b\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #5b5b5b;color:#5b5b5b\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.owenandfred.com\/what-length-should-mens-shorts-be\/#How_Long_Should_Shorts_Be_For_Men\" title=\"How Long Should Shorts Be For Men?\">How Long Should Shorts Be For Men?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.owenandfred.com\/what-length-should-mens-shorts-be\/#How_to_Choose_the_Length_of_Your_Mens_Shorts\" title=\"How to Choose the Length of Your Men&#8217;s Shorts?\">How to Choose the Length of Your Men&#8217;s Shorts?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.owenandfred.com\/what-length-should-mens-shorts-be\/#How_Mens_Shorts_Should_Fit\" title=\"How Men&#8217;s Shorts Should Fit\">How Men&#8217;s Shorts Should Fit<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.owenandfred.com\/what-length-should-mens-shorts-be\/#When_Are_Shorts_Too_Short_for_Guys\" title=\"When Are Shorts Too Short for Guys?\">When Are Shorts Too Short for Guys?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.owenandfred.com\/what-length-should-mens-shorts-be\/#How_Short_Can_Guys_Wear_Shorts\" title=\"How Short Can Guys Wear Shorts?\">How Short Can Guys Wear Shorts?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Long_Should_Shorts_Be_For_Men\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #3174b8;\"><strong>How Long Should Shorts Be For Men?<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to shopping for clothes, one of the most perplexing decisions guys have to make is what length their shorts should be. Is there such a thing as too short?<\/p>\n<p>Unlike pants, where the proper length is decided by the length of your legs, the right length for shorts is determined by the type of style you want to achieve, with a little bit of your height added in. In the same way that the inseam determines the length of your pants, the inseam determines the length of your shorts. Shorts, on the other hand, are substantially shorter than pants.<\/p>\n<p>Shorts come in a variety of lengths, including 5 inches, 7 inches, 9 inches, and 11 inches. While other sizes, such as 6 inches or 10 inches, may be offered in some stores, the four listed above are the usual shorts lengths that can be found almost anywhere.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Choose_the_Length_of_Your_Mens_Shorts\"><\/span><strong>How to Choose the Length of Your Men&#8217;s Shorts?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When picking a length for shorts, one should have two main considerations.<\/p>\n<p>The first consideration should be <strong>your height<\/strong>. For example, if you&#8217;re short, you&#8217;ll want to stay away from the lengthier 11-inch inseam. Alternatively, unless you&#8217;re quite confident in your legs, you might want to skip the 5-inch shorts if you&#8217;re above 6&#8242; tall.<\/p>\n<p>The second factor to consider is your <strong>level of self-assurance<\/strong>. If you&#8217;re okay with showing off your thighs, go for a 5-inch inseam pair. However, don&#8217;t wear anything that will make you uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<p>Shorts, nevertheless, should never reach beyond the knee, with the ideal length being 1&#8243; above the kneecap.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>5-Inch Shorts<\/strong><\/h4>\n<figure style=\"width: 298px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a class=\"easyazon-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07DZWVSVM?tag=owaf-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"n\" data-identifier=\"B07DZWVSVM\" data-locale=\"US\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"owaf-20\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"easyazon-image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41uSrxG677L._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"308\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Men&#8217;s Slim-Fit 5-inch Chino Shorts by Goodthreads<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4><strong>7-Inch Shorts<\/strong><\/h4>\n<figure style=\"width: 298px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a class=\"easyazon-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B081RFGZV8?tag=owaf-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"n\" data-identifier=\"B081RFGZV8\" data-locale=\"US\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"owaf-20\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"easyazon-image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31Phr7s41yL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"308\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Men&#8217;s Straight Fit 7-inch Shorts by Haggar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4><strong>9-Inch Shorts<\/strong><\/h4>\n<figure style=\"width: 298px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a class=\"easyazon-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0738HZ85P?tag=owaf-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"n\" data-identifier=\"B0738HZ85P\" data-locale=\"US\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"owaf-20\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"easyazon-image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31Bl9JwxuwS._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"308\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Men&#8217;s 9-inch Chino Shorts by Goodthreads<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4><strong>11-Inch Shorts<\/strong><\/h4>\n<figure style=\"width: 303px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a class=\"easyazon-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00EC83JQ8?tag=owaf-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"n\" data-identifier=\"B00EC83JQ8\" data-locale=\"US\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"owaf-20\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"easyazon-image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41hJFU9x8RL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"313\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Men&#8217;s 11-inch Stretch-Twill Shorts by Dickies<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Mens_Shorts_Should_Fit\"><\/span><strong>How Men&#8217;s Shorts Should Fit<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Men&#8217;s shorts should fit easily and comfortably\u00a0around your waist, much <a href=\"https:\/\/www.owenandfred.com\/why-are-jeans-uncomfortable\/\">like your jeans<\/a>.

It&#8217;s also acceptable to go a few inches above the knee. This implies no more than 9&#8243; shorts for most males. However, many men, especially those who aren&#8217;t particularly tall, look best with 7&#8243; shorts.<\/p>\n<p>While most average-height guys like a 7-inch inseam, if you&#8217;re 6 ft tall or taller, you may instead opt for a pair of shorts with a 9&#8243; inseam.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Short_Can_Guys_Wear_Shorts\"><\/span><strong>How Short Can Guys Wear Shorts?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Men wearing short shorts, unlike women, have certain dangly features that make them difficult to wear. Wearing shorts that are at least five to seven inches long is a good idea unless you want to get arrested for indecent exposure. These shorts are long enough to hit above the knee but not so short that they seem like trunks.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe teenagers and younger guys can pull of a 3-inch inseam shorts, but it would definitely look weird <a href=\"https:\/\/www.owenandfred.com\/how-should-40-year-old-man-dress\/\">on guys in their 40s<\/a> to wear anything shorter than 5 inches.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the <strong>amount of thigh you choose to show comes down to confidence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>When it comes to clothes shopping, one of the most baffling selections that men must make is the length of their shorts. Shorts are commonly available in four different lengths: 5 inches, 7 inches, 9 inches, and 11 inches.<\/p>\n<p>Your height will determine the majority of your measurements. Men&#8217;s shorts should never sit below the knee.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve found that 7&#8221; is a pretty great length, perfect for shorter guys. If you are way taller than 6 feet then 9&#8221; is the way to go, unless you want to show off your thighs.<\/p>\n<p>I still recommend testing out different lengths to find what you\u2019re comfortable with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4071,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"no","footnotes":""},"categories":[320],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What Length Should Men&#039;s Shorts Be? - Shorts Fit Guide | Owen &amp; Fred<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Men&#039;s shorts should never reach beyond the knee, no matter how confident or insecure you are.
