The determining factor in choosing a model is the length of the product. Short shorts – well above the knees – are designed for physical activity and training.

It is worth giving preference to variations of goods of proven brands that were able to recommend themselves with a high-quality composition of fabric.

The growth of a man affects the visual effect of this or that model of shorts. High will suit variants up to the knees or slightly above this area. Too long models, resembling breeches, will visually shorten the legs. Therefore, on men with low growth harmoniously sit shorts above the knees by 5-6 centimeters.

Thewidth of the product – another parameter that should be paid attention to when choosing models. Men with full legs will fit shorts straight classic cut or oversize. Possessors of slim build should choose tight-fitting models – chinos. Too voluminous options in this case will only emphasize thin legs.
