Which shorts are available?

When you think of shorts, you probably think of thetypical (denim) shorts. But the fashion world has much more to offer than this timeless classic. If you're looking for the perfect companion for the next summer season, you should familiarize yourself with the various shorts beforehand.

• Jeans-Shorts: As already described, these are the classic shorts. The denim shorts are comfortable, functional and can be combined in any way you like. That's why denim shorts are always a good and safe choice.

• Chino-Shorts: Chinos are fitted, comfortable and stylish at the same time. Whether for work or a festive occasion - you can wear these shorts for any occasion. The numerous colors in which these shorts are available make it easy to find the right chinos for every outfit.

• Cargo-Shorts: Whether in khaki or beige - cargo shorts had a bad reputation for a long time, but these shorts have now become real favorites. You can wear them quite functionally for your favorite outdoor activities, but also for everyday work or in your free time.

• Sport-Shorts: These special shorts have been developed to meet your sporting requirements. They not only offer comfort, but are also breathable thanks to their special materials. Instead of a zipper and belt loops, these shorts have an elastic waistband and are therefore suitable for sport and leisure.

• Bermuda-Shorts: The classic Bermuda shorts are often slightly longer than other shorts and are therefore also suitable for days when it's a little cooler. Thanks to their elegant, classic look, you can wear these shorts to almost any event and still benefit from maximum freedom of movement.

Which materials are best suited for shorts?

For the warm summer, it is important that you not only wear pants that fit you, but that they are also made from the appropriate materials. Heavy materials can quickly make you sweat and cause uncomfortable rubbing and clammy clothing. That's why it's important to make sure you choose good and safe materials.

One of the most popular materials for clothing in general is probably cotton, as it offers many different advantages. Cotton is light, comfortable and does not retain heat. Shorts made of cotton therefore offer freedom of movement and a high level of comfort. Jeans shorts are also usually made of 100% cotton and are therefore ideal for warm days. Linen is also particularly popular for shorts. This fabric has a natural cooling effect. Lyocell is made from cellulose fibers and is particularly interesting for those who want to pay more attention to sustainability. Lyocell is biodegradable, breathable, soft and cooling. This material is therefore ideal for lightweight, summery shorts.

If you are looking for lightweight sports shorts, you should make sure that they are made from cooling functional materials. Synthetic materials such as polyamide or polyester are particularly suitable here.

How do I find the right size for my shorts?

Whether for men or women, the right pants size is essential. However, as different manufacturers often offer different measurements and sizes, it can be difficult to find the right shorts for you. We have therefore put together a few tips to help you.

First, you should take your own measurements so that you can compare them with the respective size charts in the next step. You need these measurements for shorts:

• Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist.

• Hips: Measure around the widest part of your hips.

• Inside leg length: Measure from the crotch to the desired end of the shorts.

It is important to use a measuring tape. You should keep it neither too tight nor too loose in order to achieve the best measurements. Since, as already described, almost all manufacturers have their own measurements and sizes, you should now compare the measured values with the respective size charts. Once you have your shorts, all you have to do is try them on and test the fit.

• Waist: The shorts should sit comfortably at the waist without being too tight. A little wiggle room is ideal.

• Hips: The shorts should fit the shape of your hips and buttocks well without constricting or creasing. The shorts should also not be too tight or even rub in the thigh area.

• Inside leg length: The length of the shorts varies depending on style and preference. Short shorts typically end a few centimetres above the knee, while longer versions extend to the knee or beyond. Your personal preference plays a key role here.

Once you've found the right shorts for you, you can start the summer and vacation season with a clear conscience.

How to care for your shorts properly

Shorts are indispensable in the warm summer months, which is why it is important that you look after your shorts properly. To ensure your beloved shorts last more than one season, you should follow these tips:

Before you wash your shorts, you should always check the care label. Different materials require different care, which is why you should always follow the manufacturer's instructions. Use the gentle cycle on your washing machine to minimize wear and tear caused by heavy spinning. Especially with delicate materials, you should make sure that the laundry is not too hard-wearing. Important: Many people store their belongings in the pockets of their pants - make sure you empty them before washing.

For most materials, it is advisable to allow them to air dry. Hang them on a washing line or clothes horse to preserve their shape. Avoid drying your shorts in the dryer; this can cause damage, especially to delicate materials.

By taking regular and appropriate care of your shorts, they will last a particularly long time. This is not only easy on your wallet, but also on the environment.
