dress shorts

Smart casual legwear

Dress shorts are tailored shorts made from finer fabrics like wool, linen, or chino, designed to look polished rather than casual.

They typically feature a clean hem, flat front, and are worn in warm-weather professional or semi-formal settings: The office allows dress shorts in summer.

Distinguished from athletic or denim shorts by their refined cut and materials.
