The 10 Best Chino Shorts To Rock This Summer
Like their longer-legged sibling’s chino pants, chino shorts serve an interesting purpose in men’s fashion. They lean more casual, but they’re just refined enough to pass for slightly dressy, or smart casual if you will.
That makes chino shorts the perfect base for summer outfits, where occasions tend to be casual but with a lively vibe. So as summer rolls in, you’ll want to have several pairs in rotation, because this versatile piece of clothing can be worn in just about any warm-weather setting. Here are the 10 best pains of men’s chino shorts at every price point.
Best Buy
1. Asket The Shorts

In our opinion, Asket’s “The Shorts” are just about perfect as far as chino shorts go (and aptly named – gotta love the art of simplicity). The shorts are super clean-looking, with front slant pockets, rear slash pockets, and no logos anywhere. They’re made of 100% organic cotton twill that’s both soft and crisp, which helps them retain their shape all day. These chinos also hit just above the knee, giving them a modern fitted silhouette.
If you need another reason to pull the trigger and buy these Asket chinos, the Swedish company focuses relentlessly on sustainability. It publishes stats like a garment’s landed cost and traceability, and openly encourages consumers to buy less but really love the items they do buy. That’s a company value we can certainly get behind.
2. Todd Snyder 9” Japanese Cut Off Short
Check Price
We frequently sing Todd Snyder’s praises here at Next Luxury. We’re huge fans of the designer’s innovative and surprising New-York-City-meets-London-meets-military pieces – mostly because they’re just as wearable as they are stylish.
These 9” Japanese Cut Off Shorts are a perfect example: they pay homage to the military with authentic melamine buttons and impeccable tailoring, but they also have a perfectly frayed hem. In what world do the military and frayed anything meet? Todd Snyder’s world, that’s where. The shorts are also woven on vintage looms to give the 100% cotton fabric a genuine surplus look and feel. Note that these chino shorts are based on Todd Snyder’s Japanese Selvedge Chino Pants, so if you like either one, you’re bound to like the other, as well.
