Men's Plus Size Shorts

What are the best, most comfortable plus size men’s shorts this summer? Find out here!

With the arrival of summer, it’s time to stow away those heavy trousers, tops and jackets and switch to lightweight, comfortable clothes that let your skin breathe – like men’s shorts! It can be challenging for plus size men to find plus size clothing that looks good and feels good, but we’ve got you covered. Check out our selection of big and tall clothing and you’ll have everything you need for top comfort and style this summer, whether you’re on the squash court, out on the track or just lounging by the pool. Stay tuned!

What is the proper length for men’s sports and running shorts? How long should jersey or fleece jogger-style shorts be?

This is an easy one. As a general standard, all men want to aim for shorts that come just above the knee to strike the perfect balance in terms of comfort, style and ease of movement. This length is ideal for sporting activities and, lucky for plus size guys, it is particularly flattering for fuller frames too. Much like length, fabric choice is important: if you’re after a pair of plus size shorts to add to your sports clothes collection, you are going to want something made of a supple material, that doesn’t constrict and that’s gentle on your skin. For big men out on the track, squash or basketball court, soft jersey fabric is a real winner. These plus size sports shorts are super soft, plus they’ll help keep you ventilated and absorb any sweat. Put them together with a plus size t-shirt or vest from our collection of plus size clothing for men, pull on some sports socks and your favourite pair of trainers, and you’ll be ready for action! For big dudes into water sports however, you’ll really need something thinner, lighter and which dries out quicker. Try a great pair of plus size, quick-dry microfibre shorts – they’ll make all the difference when you’re in and out of the water!

And what about plus size men’s grey cargo, chino or pure cotton denim shorts? These are the ultimate holiday-wear!

Our summer clothing collection for plus size men doesn’t stop at sportswear though. When the holidays roll around, you know you’re going to need a couple of pairs of big and tall shorts to keep you cool when you’re at the beach, on the trail or even just chilling with a drink. Look no further, we’ve got the perfect plus size shorts for your holiday! When you’re around town or along the coast, try chino or denim shorts. These combine plus size style with lightweight comfort and go brilliantly with a plus size short-sleeve shirt and moccasins, sandals or boat shoes. When you’re walking in nature, our plus size cargo shorts have it all though, including all the pockets you’ll need to keep your hands free. And of course, we have stylish shorts to suit every bigger man, with sizes ranging all the way up to 4XL!
