Style Pick of the Week: Relwen Super-Fly Supply Shorts – Your Solution to Stylish Warm-Weather Looks

Best adventure shorts for men to wear this summer.

How do you prepare to go off-grid in the warmer months? Or rather, how do you prepare for more simple matters in the high heat of summer, when you might be searching more for the best men’s casual style than true off-grid performance?

In fact, how about we kill two birds with one proverbial menswear stone: In some cases, the best shorts for men should be able to do a bit of both, with the mobility and utility to take on cabin weekends and quick trail hikes as easily as they stand in as a casual style move for a backyard BBQ. It sounds nearly impossible, right? Leave it to the good folks at Huckberry to subvert your expectations, my friends.

Where can one find shorts durable enough for the trail without looking overly technical closer to home? The answer just arrived at Huckberry via the Relwen Super-Fly Supply Shorts, blending the Huckberry-approved brand’s knack for functional durability with classic style and even a dash of military heritage.

They’re called the Supply Shorts for a reason, and let’s find out why as we explore the best shorts for men this season, as this particular pair joins the ranks of the rugged Proof Rover EDC Shorts and other Huckberry classics that blur the lines between laidback fashion and trail-ready reliability.

In fact, the entire Relwen Summer 2026 line touches on throwback classics, like the handsome dress polo or the timeless pocket tee, and freshens them up with vibrant colors, softer fabrics, durable designs and good looks aplenty all around — from the shores of the lake to a cabin bonfire and then some.

The Relwen Super-Fly Supply Shorts get their good looks and style points from military-inspired utility shorts, complete with back-flap pockets for your everyday carry, plus a longer 9-inch inseam that should suit the taller guys among us quite well (remember, Huckberry also sells its own Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts with shorter inseam options available.

But back to the Relwen Super-Fly Supply Shorts: The fabric build features 97% cotton and 3% spandex for a touch of mobility, while a gusseted crotch modeled after mountaineering shorts makes it even easier to move around while wearing your new favorite shorts.

The waistband is even finished with button tabs for a secure-yet-adjustable fit, and I think you’ll find the range of color options pleasing enough for every sense of style, from Scrub Faded Olive to Camo and a crisp Dark Steel. If I were you, I’d find your favorite Relwen polo or pocket tee in a complementary shade to match your new Relwen Super-Fly Supply Shorts, then I’d stock up accordingly for summer.

The Tuesday Steal: The Proof Rover EDC Shorts are Positively Primed for Summer Adventures Off Grid

Best adventure gear for men.

As you prepare to go off-grid this summer — down the trail, to the stream or perhaps just across town for a park stroll — the right gear (no, the best adventure gear for men) makes all the difference, does it not? Perfect preparation makes perfect, as they tend to say, whether gearing up for a day hike, pitching a tent for an overnight excursion or simply grabbing an icy cold one on a hot summer’s day.

And yet, for all those pursuits, it’s the ingenious touches large and small that deliver the goods in terms of all-day utility. Look no further than Huckberry and the in-house Proof lineup for adventure-ready durability and yes, ingenious design touches aplenty by way of the Proof Rover EDC Shorts.

Proof designs gear with performance, style and certainly, adventure in mind, focused on staples like its best-selling and real-world tested Proof Merino T-shirts and Pants, and in my experience, the Proof Performance Lined Swim Trunks are some of the best in the business when it comes to moisture-wicking, quick-drying performance (as the name would indicate), and durability.

But back to the Proof Rover EDC Shorts, developed with hauling your everyday carry essentials with ease and reliability, plus quick access, top of mind.

The rugged Proof Rover EDC Shorts (marked down now as part of the still-going Huckberry Memorial Day Weekend Sale) use Huckberry’s blend of cotton, Repreve TruTemp365 recycled polyester and lycra for breathability, abrasion resistance and reliability on and off the trail. And while the cut of these shorts is a chino short-esque 7 inches, these adventure shorts for men pack in more features than your average pair of seasonal shorts, to say the very least.

The Proof Rover EDC Shorts boast a whopping total of seven pockets of various sizes for everything from your keys and wallet to a pocket knife and other handy tools for adventures off-grid. The crotch is also gusseted for further range of movement, again on and of the trail. The Proof Rover EDC Shorts also feature sturdy hardware and just a touch of stretch across the fabric itself, while a right zipper pocket at the hip is especially useful for storing small valuables.

With the toughness fit for a day hike and the clean design of standard, stylish shorts, the Proof Rover EDC Shorts can just about do it all. Heck, even at full price, these Huckberry men’s shorts aren’t a bad steal — but if inky black is your color of choice, this pair of the Proof Rover EDC Shorts is marked down right now. Happy shopping and happy hiking, my friends.

Shop new seasonal style favorites at Buck Mason

And about the versatility of your new favorite everyday men’s shorts: Buck Mason calls its fan-favorite Deck Shorts “hybrid, do-it-all shorts with a touch of stretch and durable water-repellent coating,” and what’s even more impressive is that the Buck Mason Deck Shorts maintain the same overall cut and general feel as a classic pair of chino shorts, all the while delivering more dependability via a cotton-poly blend.

See Now, Buy Now: These American Trench Lounge Shorts are the Most Comfortable, Laidback Shorts on the Market

Over the years, as I’ve expanded my wardrobe and learned all about the best American-made menswear — like one of the brands we’ll talk about today, the fine folks at American Trench — I’ve learned that it pays dividends to invest in the best, even when the occasion is more of an off-duty pursuit.

Take my daily routine: As someone who frequently writes from home, the proper balance of comfort and a dash of style is something I certainly appreciate, and the American Trench Pique Easy Shorts shown above certainly fit the bill nicely.

The best lounge shorts bring all of that to the table (and to your living room), with a surprisingly polished look that’s more suitable for casual outings than gym shorts or traditional sweatpants. And while it’s a seemingly small upgrade — casual shorts that look suitable with a pocket tee, a tank top or a polo — it could just make a big difference in your next (very) easygoing #OOTD.

The American Trench Pique Easy Shorts are nearly the pinnacle of casually stylish, laidback lounge shorts for men, and they’re certainly going to add a heck of a lot to the rest of your summer.

The difference in these lounge shorts — which should function as well for a coastal getaway as for a weekend coffee run — lies in both the fabric and the fabrication itself. Double-knit 100 percent cotton pique fabric delivers structure and softness. So, these stylish shorts for men should prove more lightweight than French terry fabric in some instances, but with a feel that’s vastly different from traditional athletic shorts (often made from blends that include polyester).

There’s plenty of texture to the fabric when you examine these shorts up close, not unlike the fabric and texture of a cotton pique polo. Plus, the American Trench Pique Easy Shorts are made in America, not unlike the rest of the brand’s standout menswear lineup of all-American goods.

That’s a good thing when it comes to the make-up of the American Trench Pique Easy Shorts — the brand says the fabric is perfectly summer-ready, and that the shorts bridge the gap between “loungewear and heritage sport,” which is never a bad place to be for laidback seasonal style.

Speaking of style: I’d rock the American Trench Pique Easy Shorts with a pocket tee and trusty canvas sneakers, or else with a breezy linen short-sleeve camp collar shirt and high-top sneakers.

The American Trench Pique Easy Shorts come in three easy-to-style colors: Navy, Orchid Grey and White, all the better to mix and match with other neutral shades in your closet. If you’re feeling especially adventurous, you could swap in the American Trench Pique Easy Shorts alongside this printed Flint and Tinder shirt for evening cocktails (and plenty of comfort). Savoring this stretch of summer is easier than ever with relaxed yet stylish lounge shorts — invest in the best, my friends.

Best of all is the fact that they’re on sale right now from a trusted brand, as the Ohio menswear masters at Relwen nail the delicate blend of rugged style, performance and modern good looks.

Relwen is a fan-favorite brand at Huckberry for a reason, supplying a range of modern updates to military heritage styles, like the utility shorts and pants of the 1950s and ’60s — that makes the Relwen Cotton Linen Supply Shorts as suited for outdoor pursuits — like pitching a tent or throwing another log on the bonfire — as for brewery beers and leisurely park strolls. The blend of 75 percent cotton and 25 percent linen has breezy structure and durability, while 4-ply seams enhance their toughness.

Patch flap pockets turn the Relwen Cotton Linen Supply Shorts into true utility shorts for hauling your everyday carry, while the 8.5-inch inseam is a longer and more traditional touch — these are far from baggy cargo shorts of days gone by.

And the handsome Relwen Cotton Linen Supply Shorts are finished with a seamless waistband featuring button side tabs — another upgraded touch that just might turn these into some of the best summer shorts for men.

A gusseted crotch helps with ease of movement, while the fit should prove clean and tailored. Note the reinforced hip patch pockets for good measure — these are shorts made for work and play in equal measure.

Available right now on sale in a trio of classic colors and quite few waist sizes, you’re going to want to step into these durable, reliable and stylish Relwen men’s shorts while they’re still around — and still on sale. Scoop up the essential Relwen Cotton Linen Supply Shorts ASAP at Huckberry.

See Now, Buy Now: Flint and Tinder’s Retro Corduroy Shorts from Huckberry are the Perfect Summer Style Move

Best corduroy shorts for men.

Still searching for the perfect set of summer style essentials to make the season at hand feel even more stylish, fresh, and dare I say… fun? As I tend to say here at this Brooklyn style blog, just when you thought you had it all covered, another style consideration enters the fray, and this week, we’re focusing on stylish updates to your rotation of summer shorts.

Luckily — and as often seems to be the case with the best menswear for summer — your friends at Huckberry have you covered handily, particularly when it comes to well-designed, well-cut shorts with more than a dash of retro inspiration.

Judging by the thermostat outside, there’s still plenty of time to work some fresh new shorts into your style offering this season, particularly when they’re a pair of shorts that check as many boxes as do the Flint and Tinder Corduroy Drawstring Shorts.

Available in a versatile 7-inch inseam that should work plenty well on a lot of guys — even my frame at 6’2″ — these are about as good as it gets for a set of shorts that bridge the gap between laidback lounge shorts and polished (yet slightly less comfortable) stretch chino shorts.

The key is right there in the name, after all, of the Flint and Tinder Corduroy Drawstring Shorts: That drawstring waist is a pro style move that feels supremely comfortable all day long, no matter how many trips to the grill or the backyard cooler you take.

Plus, the 7-inch inseam is stylish without being overly short or long — and of course, the Flint and Tinder Corduroy Drawstring Shorts channel a bit of throwback cool with use of a wide-wale cotton corduroy fabric, just like your pops might have worn in the 1970s or ’80s. How about that for style that stands the test of time?

Even the color options you’re getting with the Flint and Tinder Corduroy Drawstring Shorts, like a light grey or a rich, dusty Terracotta — are not unlike colors you’d find out there decades ago.

You can go full-on throwback by wearing the Flint and Tinder Corduroy Drawstring Shorts with a ringer T-shirt, but I think these easygoing yet polished shorts likely wear best with a soft cotton-blend polo or a retro-minded Flint and Tinder camp collar shirt. Stock your cooler with cold beer, grill up some hot dogs and let the summer fun roll on in style as you rock your fresh new Flint and Tinder Corduroy Drawstring Shorts.

Style Pick of the Week: Filson Oakville Canvas Shorts – Hard-Working Shorts Ready for Anything

Best shorts for men.

Your summer has the potential to go just about anywhere — if you’ve got the right gear and the right style essentials for the task at hand, that is. And in my book, the rugged outdoor purveyors at Filson seem to hit the nail on the head when it comes to reliable adventure gear, from lightweight shirting to durable canvas bags and now, the perfect pair of casually rugged canvas shorts.

Shop the best summer outdoor gear at Filson

The Filson Oakville Canvas Shorts might seem an unlikely style selection from a company best known for its selvedge denim and of course, its tightly woven Dry Tin Cloth pants and shorts, but they carry on the Filson legacy of tough-as-nails menswear.

Filson reviews note that the company makes heirloom-quality menswear across the board, even in the warmer months — going off trail this summer requires attention to detail, thoughtful design and a focus on durability, and my friends, that’s what the Filson Oakville Canvas Shorts bring to the table (or rather, to the trail and to your campsite).

The Filson Oakville Canvas Shorts are fit for both work and play, so to speak, thanks to the midweight cotton canvas construction that should resist abrasions, dirt and debris. Helpfully, they’re built out with an elastic and drawstring waistband, that way, you needn’t wear a belt 24/7 (but one would certainly come in handy from time to time).

And unlike some other pairs of Filson shorts with a longer cut, the Filson Oakville Canvas Shorts feature a versatile 7-inch inseam, not unlike other pairs of the best men’s shorts (like the Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts, for instance).

The Filson Oakville Canvas Shorts are made from sturdier, thicker fabric, giving them durability and toughness on the trail, while classic side slant front pockets and back button patch pockets deliver EDC storage space.

In colors like Filson’s classic Bronze Brown and even the grey-hued Gravel, these are rugged shorts meant to be paired with Filson pocket tees, a short-sleeve henley and perhaps even a camp-collar shirt and well-worn canvas sneakers.

For durability and design you can trust, plus some style points to spare, make these handsome, classic canvas shorts from Filson your next #menswear pick-up, folks.

Style Pick of the Week: Mott and Bow Stretch Chino Shorts – A Perfect Pair for the Summer Months

When a company that specializes in one menswear essential — say, making some of the best jeans for men — dives into another category entirely, the results are usually worth checking out, at least in my experience. That certainly has held true over the years when it comes to New York City’s Mott and Bow, a brand that’s been on my radar for about a decade now — namely, for making some of the best men’s denim.

Learn more and shop now at Mott and Bow

And yet, as we roll into summer, it’s worth noting that once again, the brand that makes your favorite jeans is stepping into another category in time for the cooler months: The Mott and Bow Stretch Chino Shorts are here in a wide array of colors and a near-perfect design for months of wear.

The upstart company also has a knack for other seasonal staples, like one of the best men’s overshirts, along with, of course, some of the best lightweight jeans for summer. But when the thermostat rises too high even for light wash denim, something much cooler and more breezy is needed — whether the occasion is a rooftop shindig, a brewery beer session or a backyard BBQ, my friends.

Mott and Bow men's shorts review.

The Mott and Bow Stretch Chino Shorts join other summer-friendly wares from the retailer, including buttery-soft T-shirts and polished polos, and in my experience, the same details that make the brand’s denim so great for the price certainly hold true when it comes to the best shorts for summer.

The Mott and Bow Stretch Chino Shorts feature a blend of 98 percent cotton and 2 percent spandex, with a stretch factor of a whopping 25 percent — that means these shorts really move with you, and they could even be ideal for a day on the links.

They’re also built with an agreeable 8-inch inseam and come in a wide range of sizes for every body type. The brand notes they can even be cuffed for a shorter fit, while crisp details like side slant pockets give them the ability to be dressed up with a knit polo or dressed down with a pocket tee. There are also back flap pockets to hold your everyday carry on or off the links — or anywhere else summer takes you, in fact.

Shop summer shorts and more from Mott and Bow

The handsome, well-made Mott and Bow Stretch Chino Shorts retail for a very agreeable $99, but you can bundle multiple pairs and save — they could become your new go-to shorts multiple days a week, based on the colors you select.

The Mott and Bow Stretch Chino Shorts deliver maximum flexibility, versatility and comfort in one package — a wise choice when the weather calls for something more lightweight than denim. You know where to go to find some of the best men’s shorts for summer, my friends.
