What types of men's shorts does Myer stock?

Myer offers chino shorts for smart-casual versatility, denim shorts for relaxed weekends, cargo shorts for practical storage, board shorts for beach and swim, tailored shorts for polished looks and athletic shorts for active wear.

What length should men's shorts be?

The most versatile length sits just above the knee, around 18-20cm inseam. Shorter 14-16cm inseams suit modern slim styles, while longer 22-25cm inseams offer a more relaxed fit. Choose based on personal preference, body proportion and the occasion.

What fabrics work best for men's shorts in hot weather?

Lightweight cotton and linen provide excellent breathability for Australian summers. Cotton-linen blends offer a balance of comfort and structure and stretch cotton adds flexibility for active days. Quick-dry synthetic fabrics work well for beach and sport activities.

How should men's shorts fit?

Shorts should sit comfortably at your natural waist without a belt pulling them in. The thigh area should allow easy movement without excess bunching. Try sitting down to test comfort. Check product size guides as fit varies between brands and styles.

What is the difference between chino shorts and cargo shorts?

Chino shorts feature a clean, flat-front design with a tailored silhouette suited to smart-casual settings. Cargo shorts include additional side pockets for practicality and have a more relaxed, casual appearance. Chinos dress up easily while cargos favour outdoor and leisure activities.

How do I style men's shorts for different occasions?

Pair tailored chino shorts with a collared shirt and loafers for smart-casual events. Match denim or cargo shorts with a t-shirt and sneakers for casual weekends. Board shorts work with rashies or singlets for beach days.

Can I wear shorts to smart-casual events?

Yes. Tailored chino shorts in neutral colours like navy, stone or olive pair well with a button-up shirt or polo and leather shoes for smart-casual dress codes. Avoid cargo, athletic or board shorts for these settings.

What men's shorts brands does Myer stock?
