How to Wear Shorts | How Men's Shorts Should Fit

About this video

McGoff teaches men how to wear shorts correctly by addressing fit, style, and details. He argues that shorts should stop at or above the knee, feature a tapered leg opening rather than a wide trapezoid shape, and recommends avoiding cargo pockets, large patterns, and excessive branding in favor of solid colors and minimal details.

Key takeaways

• McGoff argues shorts should ideally stop at the top of the kneecap or slightly above, with a sweet spot inseam of 7-9 inches depending on height and leg length
• McGoff recommends shorts have a gentle taper from waist to knee rather than a wide leg opening, as he believes this is more flattering and prevents legs from looking thin
• McGoff advises avoiding cargo pockets, large bold patterns, obvious branding, and distressing, instead recommending solid colors or small-scale patterns like subtle checks or small dots
