Features of choice
Models of men's shorts can be roughly divided into:
- elongated / shortened;
- adjacent \ straight \ free;
- with low / standard fit;
- sports \ casual \ classic.
In the wardrobe of a modern man, there can be several models of shorts that meet his needs, the main thing is that they match the size. The wrong size will not only make your image look ridiculous, but also add inconvenience. In order to choose the required size, you should pay attention to a number of parameters:

- the volume of the hips;
- proportionality of the figure;
- height.
You can easily measure your waist and hips at home using a measuring tape. The waist should be measured halfway between the chest and thigh. The waist is the narrowest part of the human body. The volume of the thighs is measured by the protruding femur. The waist is especially worth considering when choosing a size when it comes to shorts with a high rise. The proportionality of the body deserves attention when it comes to the selection of models according to the figure in order to create a more harmonious image. Having the parameters, it will not be difficult to choose a suitable model of shorts.
Growth should also be taken into account when choosing: choose the maximum length for growth.
but when choosing, it is worth considering some features of the material and models, regardless of size... First, when purchasing natural fabrics, remember that they tend to change in size: they can shrink during washing or, conversely, stretch during prolonged use. Secondly, do not take tight-fitting shorts made of synthetics, as it does not allow air to pass through and provokes profuse sweating.
Avoid synthetic sportswear. Thirdly, tight, dense fabric can be uncomfortable during the hot season, because of constant contact with the skin, it can interfere and hinder movement. You should not choose the size of men's shorts exactly in size, it should be quite comfortable: neither press nor hinder movement.
