Men's Designer Shorts at Butterworths
When the weather warms up, a good pair of shorts becomes an everyday essential, and Butterworths' collection has plenty of options to suit every occasion. Adidas and On Running bring performance-focused styles ideal for training and active days, while Napapijri and The North Face offer casual and outdoor-ready designs that work just as well for travel and leisure. Whatever your plans this summer, our men's shorts range has something to suit.
What to Look for When Buying Designer Shorts
Fabric choice makes a real difference depending on how you intend to use your shorts. For everyday casual wear, cotton or cotton-blend chino shorts offer comfort and a smarter finish, ideal from brands with a more relaxed, lifestyle focus. For active pursuits, look for lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics from performance brands like Adidas and On Running, which help keep you cool and comfortable during exercise or hot weather.
Length and fit matter too. A shorter inseam suits a more athletic, casual look, while a longer inseam offers a smarter, slightly more tailored silhouette that works well for travel or everyday errands. Check the waistband as well, as an adjustable drawstring or elasticated waist adds comfort for active use, while a structured waistband with belt loops suits a smarter, more considered look.
How to Style Men's Designer Shorts
Shorts are one of the easiest pieces to build a summer outfit around. Pair chino shorts from Napapijri with a plain polo or t-shirt and clean trainers for an effortless casual look that works for anything from a barbecue to a day out. For something sportier, Adidas or On Running shorts paired with a technical tee and trainers make for a comfortable, practical outfit whether you're training or just running errands.
For travel, look to The North Face for shorts with useful pockets and durable fabric, pairing well with a lightweight shirt for warm-weather exploring. Whatever your choice, keep colours simple and let your footwear and top half do the talking, since shorts work best as a supporting piece rather than the loudest item in an outfit.

Wash according to care labels, avoiding high heat where fabrics include performance or stretch elements, to keep them looking and performing their best all season.
