How to Wear a Flannel Shirt (Fit, Details and 3 Outfit Examples)

About this video

McGoff visits several mall retailers to try on chino shorts and evaluate their fit, comparing options from American Eagle, Banana Republic, Gap, Express, and Abercrombie & Fitch. He discusses fit issues including length, width, and how different brands’ sizing varies, particularly for men with slimmer builds like himself.

Key takeaways

  • McGoff recommends American Eagle’s extreme-flex slim shorts and Abercrombie & Fitch’s stretch preppy fit as the best overall fits among the brands he tested
  • McGoff argues that proper chino short fit requires both correct length (above the knee) and appropriate width to avoid looking baggy, especially important for men with slimmer legs
  • McGoff found Banana Republic’s Aiden shorts disappointing due to significant vanity sizing and oversized proportions that made them unwearable for his frame
