Macy's collection showcases versatile options crafted from lightweight, breathable fabrics including moisture-wicking performance materials, stretch-enhanced weaves, and quick-drying synthetics that support active lifestyles. Whether you're hitting the gym, enjoying outdoor activities, or simply seeking comfortable options for warm weather, these shorter-length shorts combine practical performance features with modern styling for versatile athletic and casual wear.

Performance Fabrics for Active Comfort
Experience exceptional functionality with short shorts engineered from technical fabrics designed for movement and breathability. Lightweight polyester blends provide durability while minimizing weight for unrestricted activity. Four-way stretch materials move seamlessly with your body during intense workouts or dynamic movements. Many styles incorporate moisture-management technology that wicks perspiration away from the skin to the fabric's surface where it can evaporate quickly, helping you stay dry during vigorous exercise. Quick-drying properties ensure comfort even during water-adjacent activities or particularly humid conditions. From ultra-lightweight mesh panels that enhance ventilation to sturdy woven fabrics that maintain their shape through countless washes, these performance materials deliver reliable comfort for your most active moments.

Thoughtful Design Features for Athletic Performance
Maximize your workout potential with short shorts that incorporate practical design elements specifically engineered for active use. Side splits and strategic seam placements allow for extended range of motion during lunges, sprints, and stretching routines. Built-in mesh liners provide essential support and coverage during dynamic movements. Secure zippered pockets or hidden compartments safely store small essentials like keys or cards during activities. Reflective details enhance visibility during early morning or evening exercises. Elastic waistbands with internal drawstrings offer adjustable, secure fits that stay in place throughout vigorous movement. From minimal designs focused purely on performance to more detailed styles with contrast piping or distinctive graphic elements, these shorts combine practical functionality with personal expression for motivated training sessions.

How to Style Short Shorts for Modern Athletic Looks
Create dynamic athletic and casual ensembles by pairing short shorts with complementary performance and lifestyle pieces. For intensive training sessions, combine compression-style short shorts with moisture-wicking tanks and supportive athletic footwear for a streamlined silhouette that optimizes movement. Casual warm-weather outfits benefit from pairing slightly longer short shorts with graphic t-shirts and lightweight hoodies for transitional weather protection. Create distinctive sporty ensembles by coordinating bold-colored short shorts with performance track jackets and retro sneakers. For post-workout casual wear, layer short shorts with an oversized hoodie for a relaxed yet contemporary look that maintains comfort while showcasing confidence and athletic style.

From high-intensity workouts to casual warm-weather activities, men's short shorts provide exceptional mobility with contemporary athletic styling.
