Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ideal shorts length?
For most builds, a 7-to-9-inch inseam hits just above or at the knee, creating a flattering and versatile length. Shorter inseams of 5 inches work well for athletic builds, while longer 10-inch styles suit those who prefer more coverage.
Can shorts be worn in smart-casual settings?
Tailored shorts in neutral tones like navy, beige, or olive can absolutely work in relaxed smart-casual environments during warm months. Pair them with a collared shirt and leather loafers to keep the look polished and intentional.
How should I store my shorts during the off-season?
Fold shorts neatly and store them in breathable fabric bins or vacuum-sealed bags to save space during colder months. Use the MyWear app to keep a digital record of what you own so you can plan your warm-weather wardrobe before the season begins.
How many pairs of shorts do I need?
A practical summer wardrobe includes 4 to 6 pairs covering different styles: a couple of tailored options, a casual pair, and an athletic pair. MyWear helps you audit your collection so you can identify exactly what is missing and avoid overbuying.
