If you, like me, tend to have trouble putting down your favorite pairs of blue jeans even in the heat (most of the time, at least), then you’ll perhaps realize the value of being able to step into a reliable pair of shorts without missing a beat. A reliable pair of shorts made by the very same brand that makes your favorite pair of blue jeans, that is — that’s the idea behind Mott and Bow’s latest release, a pair of highly wearable stretch chino shorts here to deliver breathable comfort and crisp, polished looks.

It’s a major bonus to be able to treat one of your favorite brands as a one-stop shop from season to season, be it searching for jeans in the spring or shorts in the summer.

In my experience, shopping with confidence is a major bonus, from stylish good looks to ultra-premium fabric.

Luckily, the Mott and Bow Stretch Chino Shorts check those boxes handily in much the same manner as the NYC brand’s best-in-class stretch jeans for men.

As the brand wisely says, “stretch, comfort and versatility” are yours for the taking when picking up a pair of these shorts, which blend 98 percent cotton and 2 percent spandex for a soft, supple feel and ease of movement.

With these fresh chino shorts (available in a wide range of earthy, neutral colors), “a slightly washed-down, naturally lived-in aesthetic” is also up for grabs — the kind that pairs perfectly with a garment-dyed polo shirt, a pocket tee or a retro-tinged camp collar buttondown.

Mott and Bow’s trademark high-quality fit is also top of mind as you add your new favorite pair of shorts to your rotation: You can find the Mott and Bow Stretch Chino Shorts in waist sizes running from 30-40″, with nine color options serving up style options for every fashionable preference.

An 8-inch inseam should also hit the sweet spot, neither overly long nor too short for the taller fellas among us, and well-suited for those who prefer a slightly more traditional inseam length.

These stylish men’s shorts also boast back button flap pockets for easy everyday carry storage — perhaps that means holding onto a spare bottle opener at a BBQ or keeping your keys close by while you hit the links (Mott and Bow also makes performance-minded Tech Shorts for occasions just like that, my friends).

Whether you score a pair in crisp Navy, easily wearable Ecru or utterly classic Khaki, the Mott and Bow Stretch Chino Shorts won’t let you down as far as easygoing comfort and versatile, casual style is concerned.

All that’s left to do once you’re wearing these shorts is slide into your favorite pair of sandals and fire up the grill.
