Mens Walk Shorts

What Types of Men's Walk Shorts Are Available?

Walk shorts are a broad category of casual shorts designed for everyday clothing. They come in different fabrics, fits, lengths and waistband styles. City Beach stocks traditional walk shorts, chino-inspired designs, hybrid shorts, denim walk shorts and corduroy styles.

Men's Chino Walk Shorts

Chino walk shorts have a casual, trouser-inspired silhouette, often featuring a structured waistband, front pockets and a button-and-zip fastening. They provide an alternative to denim and utility-inspired shorts.

City Beach stocks chino walk shorts including the Rip Curl Classic Surf Chino Walk Shorts and The Mad Hueys Stranded Chino Shorts. These can be paired with plain T-shirts, polos and short sleeve shirts for casual everyday outfits.

Men's Hybrid Walk Shorts

Hybrid walk shorts combine elements of traditional casual shorts with features associated with active or surf-inspired clothing. City Beach carries hybrid designs including the Volcom Kerosene Hybrid Walk Shorts, Jacks Kailua Hybrid Walk Shorts and Billabong Crossfire Submersible Hybrid Walk Shorts.

Selected hybrid styles feature stretch fabrics, pockets and structured waistbands. Their suitability for swimming varies, so check each product's intended use and materials before wearing them in the water.

Men's Denim Walk Shorts

Denim walk shorts combine the construction and appearance of denim with a casual shorts silhouette. City Beach stocks styles including Rip Curl Archive Denim Walk Shorts, Hurley Trademark Denim Walkshorts and Dexter Collision Denim Walk Shorts.

For additional jean-short styles, explore men's denim shorts and jorts, including baggy, regular and relaxed fits.

Men's Corduroy Walk Shorts

Corduroy walk shorts feature a textured, ribbed fabric finish. The Billabong Larry Cord Walk Shorts are one example available at City Beach.

Corduroy styles create a different look from plain woven chinos or denim shorts and can be paired with graphic tees, singlets and casual shirts.

Elastic-Waist and Relaxed Walk Shorts

Some walk shorts feature elastic waistbands or roomier leg shapes. The Volcom Stones Elastic Waist Hybrid Shorts and Skylark Sustain Elastic Waist Shorts are examples of pull-on or elastic-waist designs within the broader range.

For more drawstring and pull-on styles, browse men's elastic-waist shorts.

What's the Difference Between Walk Shorts and Chino Shorts?

Walk shorts are a broad category covering casual shorts with different fabrics and silhouettes. Chino shorts are a more specific type, generally featuring a trouser-inspired shape and woven fabric construction.

A pair of chino shorts can therefore also be described as walk shorts. However, not all walk shorts are chinos, as the category also includes denim, corduroy, hybrid and elastic-waist designs.

The main differences between styles are their fabric, waistband construction, fit and pocket details.

How Do Men's Walk Shorts Fits and Lengths Compare?

City Beach's walk shorts collection includes short, regular, mid-length, knee-length and selected longer designs.

Shorter walk shorts finish higher on the leg, while regular and mid-length shorts offer different intermediate silhouettes. Knee-length and longer walk shorts provide additional leg coverage.

Fit also varies. Loose-fit shorts, such as the Dickies 13" Loose Fit Shorts, provide a roomier silhouette. Other designs feature more traditional leg shapes.

Check the individual product's listed length and fit information, as the hem position depends on your height and the garment's cut.

Understanding Walk Shorts Fabrics, Stretch and Waistbands

Walk shorts are available in different materials, including cotton blends, polyester, denim and corduroy. Selected products contain elastane or are described as stretch fabric, while others feature woven construction.

For example, the Lucid Confine Walk Shorts feature a polyester, cotton and elastane blend with stretch fabric, while the Dickies 13" Loose Fit Shorts use polyester and cotton with woven construction.

Waistband details also vary. Selected styles have button-and-zip fastenings, belt loops or elastic waistbands. Pocket arrangements can include front hand pockets, back pockets, side pockets and patch pockets.

Not all walk shorts have stretch fabric or an elastic waistband. Compare each product's composition and construction before purchasing.

Colours, Patterns and Walk Shorts Designs

City Beach's men's walk shorts include black, grey, blue, green, brown, white and neutral colours. Plain designs make up much of the range, with selected striped, camo, checked, plaid, printed and colour-block styles.

Black and neutral walk shorts can be paired with graphic or printed tops, while blue, green and brown designs offer alternatives for casual outfits. Selected styles also feature embroidered logos, patches or contrasting details.

Walk Shorts vs Cargo Shorts, Denim Shorts and Board Shorts

Different shorts categories can overlap, but their main distinguishing features vary.

Cargo shorts are known for utility-inspired pockets, while denim shorts are defined by their denim construction.

Board shorts are associated with swimming and surfing, whereas traditional walk shorts are generally intended for casual everyday clothing.

How to Choose and Style Men's Walk Shorts

Start by considering the fit, fabric and length you prefer. Chino walk shorts can be paired with plain T-shirts, polos or button-up shirts for everyday outfits, while denim and corduroy styles work with graphic tees and casual layers.

For a streetwear-inspired outfit, combine loose-fit walk shorts with an oversized tee from the men's tops and T-shirts collection.

Pair your shorts with men's sneakers for everyday wear, or choose men's thongs and sandals for a more relaxed summer outfit.

When shopping for hybrid walk shorts, review each product's intended use before choosing them for swimming or other water activities.
