What to look for in pleated shorts
Pleats add room at the front and give shorts a more tailored look. The styles shown here are men's pleated shorts, and the examples we reviewed typically have a single pleat on each side, a knee-length hem and a wide, straight or barrel-shaped leg.
Details still vary, so check each product page for waist type, pockets, belt loops and fabric before choosing.
Waistbands, fabrics and patterns
Some pairs use a button waistband with belt loops and a front fly, which suits a belted, tucked-in look. Others use an elastic waist, sometimes with a drawstring, for adjustable comfort. One style has an elasticized back waistband only.
- Fabrics listed include 100% polyester, an 80% polyester and 20% rayon blend, and a 54% cotton and 46% lyocell blend.
- Colors and patterns include khaki, navy, gray, brown, off-white, black, plaid and micro-check.
Choosing within the wider range
If you want a broader view, start with all shorts or narrow the field through men's shorts. For hem length, the knee length shorts collection helps you compare similar proportions.
Solid neutrals pair easily with plain tees, knit polos and short-sleeve shirts. Plaid and check patterns usually look best with simple solid tops.
Frequently asked questions
How should I choose a size in pleated shorts?
Compare the product page size chart with a pair of shorts you already own. Check waist, hip, length and leg opening measurements, which are listed in centimeters. Sizes and ranges differ by style, so confirm the available sizes on each page before ordering.
What is the difference between button-waist and elastic-waist styles?
Button-waist styles, such as the gray and black pair or the plaid pair, have belt loops and a more tailored feel. Elastic-waist styles, some with drawstrings, allow easier waist adjustment. Choose by whether you want structure or a more relaxed fit.
Are all the shorts in this collection made from the same fabric?
No. Fabrics differ by product. Examples include 100% polyester, an 80% polyester and 20% rayon blend, a cotton and lyocell blend, and a polyester and spandex blend. Read the details on each product page for the exact composition.
How can I style wide-leg pleated shorts?
Balance the roomy leg with simpler tops, such as a plain tee, knit polo, camp-collar shirt or lightweight button-up. Tuck in a shirt and add a belt where belt loops are present for a neater look, or leave it untucked for casual wear.
