Lululemon Pace Breaker Shorts

via Lululemon.com

Did you just realize you only really have 3 gym shorts, 2 of which are pretty beat up, and now you need to grab another pair? Same. These Pace breaker shorts have a modest 7" inseam, meaning they will likely hit above the knee, so they won't get in the way of your squats, have zipper pockets to keep you stuff in your pockets, and have plenty of stretch should you get into some deep deep lunges. Great training, and can really double as swim trunks in a pinch, since they are fast drying lycra.

Frank and Oak Newport Hemp Chino Shorts

via FrankandOak.com

Hemp? Can I smoke these shorts? Technically you can smoke anything if you try hard enough. The real question is should you... And that answer is a definitive no. You'll get way more of your money's worth if you wear them. Frank and Oak has released a new line of hemp shorts in an effort to be more environmentally conscious (Props to them). These hemp-based chino shorts are cool looking, and will keep you cool. The hemp adds an interesting texture to the pants, and environmentally friendly story they bring to your outfit adds an interesting topic to your conversations when wearing them. We like them in the olive green because they can go with both black and brown color schemes.

Rhone Fletcher 7 inch Swim Trunk

While it did just snow again across the east coast of the US, warmer weather is coming, it HAS TO. So make sure you are prepared for the impending beach season with a new pair of trunks. These 7-inch trunks from Rhone are unlined, aka no abrasive mesh rubbing your soft spots. The 7-inch inseam is perfect for guys 5'7"-6'1" who are looking to tan the mid-upper thigh, which is always a war of attrition. In terms of fabric, they are a quick- drying nylon with a healthy dose of spandex to give you the range of motion needed to run go-routes and not impede a morning beach yoga practice.

Lululemon T.H.E 7 Inch Shorts

via lululemon.com

While we are still recovering from 18.1 of The Open, we are looking to the remaining 4 weeks in anticipation for the workout that will destroy our legs. In the spirit of the impending quad busters, we are giving you a pair of workout shorts that show off all the work you've done over the winter. Let those quads out and free up some movement with a 7 inch inseam and 4 way stretch material built for cross training. A note on fit: lulu has decided to change their waistband to be less stretchy and a little tighter, so if you have some junk in the trunk or thunder thighs order a size up from your usual.

Who wears short shorts? You wear short shorts of course! These super short swim trunks are just what you need to show off on the beach. They are loud and force you to be proud of all those squats you did this winter because they are gonna show much of a quadroceratops you truly are.

This hodgepodge of fabrics makes these shorts super stretchy, wrinkle resistant and moisture wicking, perfect for outdoor activities and tailgating games.

Brooks Brothers Blue Floral Print Shorts

via brooksbrothers.com

Like we've said before, floral is taking the men's fashion world by storm this year, and we like it. Not to over do it, these blue on blue floral print shorts from Brooks Brothers make a statement but without yelling it at you. What these shorts lack in brightness they make up in pattern design. These shorts have a 9" inseam, well-suited for those 5'8" and up, and have a little elastane in them so you can actually move around in them even though they fit slimmer on the leg than legacy BB shorts. As a heads up, these are button fly shorts, so if you're one of those guys that hates the European way of closing your pants, maybe steer clear of them. We suggest wearing a plain white or pale blue oxford shirt with these flower power pantaloons while taking root in a nice pair of brown leather loafers.

Lulu Lemon Box Space 9" Short

If you are one of the many gents who train with a barbell, whether it's Crossfit or just a full body workout with some power cleans, you know it can take a toll on what you wear. That's why Lulu Lemon has made a line of shorts with tear resistent material, reducing the amount of catch your shorts have on a barbell, ultimately lessening the chance of ripping. These 9" shorts are at a length (for most) that is too short to catch at the knee yet aren't too high to where your upper thigh is peaking out to say hello, making it a great bottom for rigorous movement involving any weight bearing bar or bell.
