How To Tailor Men’s Shorts (Get The Perfect Fit)

About this video

Centeno teaches viewers how to tailor men’s shorts through two key alterations: tapering the legs for a slimmer fit and hemming to the proper length. He provides step-by-step instructions for measuring, pinning, sewing, and finishing both alterations using basic sewing tools and techniques.

Key takeaways

  • Centeno argues that baggy, overly long shorts make men appear to have thin legs and recommends shorts sit 1 to 3 inches above the knee
  • Centeno recommends using a well-fitting pair of shorts as a template when tapering or hemming, rather than guessing measurements
  • Centeno advises tapering from the inside seam to minimize visible mistakes and emphasizes proper pinning, straight stitching, and finishing seams with zigzag stitches to prevent fraying
