UTILITY CARGO SHORTS FOR MEN

Pull these on for a warm afternoon and you notice the roomy cut right away, plenty of room through the seat and thigh so you can crouch, stretch and walk without any tug or pull. They sit at the waist with a relaxed ease that makes them the pair you reach for on a weekend morning, whether you're loading up the car, walking the dog, or just heading out for coffee with nowhere to be.

The multiple cargo pockets are the real workhorses here, giving you a spot for keys, a phone, a wallet, sunglasses, whatever the day calls for, without needing a bag. An elastic waistband adds give where you want it, so the fit stays relaxed rather than restrictive through long stretches on your feet or hours in the car.

As far as short shorts go these sit on the longer, roomier end of the spectrum, which makes them a genuinely practical choice rather than just a warm-weather statement. They work through spring and summer, from yard work to weekend travel days, and pair easily with a plain tee for errands or a polo for something a touch more put-together.

Some shorts try too hard; these just work, day after day, which is exactly why they end up in heavy rotation once the weather turns warm.

Machine wash cold, hang dry.
