Abercrombie & Fitch 6 Inch Linen-Blend Pull-On Short

These comfortable pull-on style shorts are designed for all-day wear, featuring a lightweight linen-blend fabric that keeps you cool, and a relaxed-fit silhouette for ultimate comfort. We love how the fabric even comes with a tad of stretch for easy movement, and we’ve had no problem with mobility while wearing these shorts to run errands, commute, or travel.

The 6-inch inseam is the perfect versatile length for a pair of everyday shorts. On my 6-foot frame, it looks casual and easygoing, but on shorter guys, it still reaches just above the knee to keep the laidback look going.

The durability is also awesome. After putting them through the wash-and-dry cycle at least six times, no thread or seam has been undone and the fabric still feels smooth and light.

Looking for casual linen shorts that offer both comfort and style for you to wear daily? Look no further than Katin! Made from a breezy cotton linen blend, we love wearing these shorts to stroll in the park, by the beachside, or during road trips on a summer day. With front welt side seam pockets and rear welt pockets, you’ll have plenty of space to stash your essentials. And we love how the elastic waistband with drawcord helps ensures a perfect fit every time.

These shorts are also built to last, with internal diagonal pinstripe binding that enhances durability. The fit is also great: the 7” inseam falls just above our knees, and on a guy with beefy thighs like myself, it still feels roomy around the thigh and seat areas.

Looking for a pair of comfortable-yet-cool shorts for a day by the sea? This totally easygoing style approved by stylists and Bloomingdale’s Men’s Fashion Director, Justin Berkowitz has let me stay sharp with an inseam that hits the perfect length just above the knee. But, of course, I had to test out its linen fabric, which is extra soft and breathable. With a comfortable drawstring waistband nonetheless, you’ll feel as good as you look in these seriously flattering summer shorts. The only thing is that there’s no stretch; coupled with a slim fit, they’re thus better for lounging, vacationing, and relaxing instead of traveling or commuting.

What Do Experts Say? “The shorts, made from 100% French linen will be breathable during the hottest days. Dyed with natural dyes, you don’t have to worry about harsh chemicals on your body when wearing this garment. With a 6.75″ inseam, these are a modern cut, still with a classic style,” says personal wardrobe stylist Grace Thomas.
