Best Men's Chino Shorts (5 Slim Fit Shorts Compared)

About this video

McGoff visits several mall retailers to try on and evaluate chino shorts across different brands, assessing fit, length, and width to help viewers find options suitable for their body type. He shares his firsthand experience with American Eagle, Banana Republic, Gap, Express, and Abercrombie & Fitch, noting which brands he recommends based on how well they accommodate slimmer builds.

Key takeaways

• McGoff argues that proper chino shorts fit requires attention to both length (above the knee) and width (not too baggy around the legs)
• McGoff recommends American Eagle’s extreme-flex slim shorts and Abercrombie & Fitch’s stretch preppy fit as the best options from his mall visit, while he cautions against Banana Republic due to significant vanity sizing and oversized proportions
• McGoff notes that finding well-fitting shorts is particularly challenging for men with slimmer leg builds, and he suggests that brands like ASOS offer more tapered options, though with potential durability trade-offs
