Turn Up Shorts You'll Be Glad You Found

Most men get shorts wrong in one of two ways. Either they go too long and end up looking like they borrowed them from someone bigger, or they go too short and overcorrect into territory that takes real confidence to pull off. The turn up is the move that solves both problems at once. A well placed cuff brings the hem to exactly the right point on the thigh, adds a layer of considered detail, and signals that you actually thought about what you put on. We've been looking specifically at shorts where the turn up feels intentional rather than accidental, in fabrics that hold their shape through a full day of wearing. Chino cloth and cotton canvas work best here. Linen too, when the weight is right. The fit through the seat and thigh matters as much as the length. These are the pairs that get the whole thing right.
