Your new favorite pair of shorts have plenty going for ’em starting with the unique approach to their fabrication. They’re made from 100 percent cotton fleece made with EcoLife© yarn, which blends 50 percent recycled materials and 50 percent cotton from the Better Cotton Initiative. That means these stylish men’s sweatshorts are sustainable as well as stylish.

The pigment-dying process gives each pair a soft finish and unique look, and it helps that the resulting range of colors (including the Sky option shown above) is breezy and fresh for summer. These are some of the best men’s casual shorts for good reason, and I’m sure you’ll find plenty of ways to wear ’em. That goes for the beach and the bonfire as well as the brewery, teamed up with your favorite summer polo or the best white T-shirt for men, too. My personal favorite is the Storm (grey) color, which I’d wear with a navy polo or pocket tee and my favorite white leather sneakers. Any way you look at it, the American Trench Pigment-Dyed Sweatshorts are the answer to your summer prayers for casual, easygoing-yet-stylish summer shorts for men. Happy shopping and stay cool, folks.
