Slight and Mighty

Amazon Essentials 5 inch Stretch Chino Shorts

Ok, it’s not just a bookstore anymore. Amazon has pretty much every consumer product imaginable so it shouldn’t be shocking that they have decent shorts for shortkings, right? Wrong. It’s still weird.

That said, I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered Amazon Essentials Men’s Stretch Chino Shorts. These shorts are the perfect length and waist size for short guys. They have a slim fit that flatters your legs, and a stretchy fabric that gives you comfort and mobility. Plus, they come in over 20 colors!

Here’s the breakdown:

• Length: These shorts have a 5-inch inseam. They one to two inches above the knee, giving you a balanced and proportional look. Any shorter and you might start getting cat called by sailors.
• Colors: You can choose from every color in the crayon box. Please, for the love of god, do not choose the camouflage pattern. Camo pattern should be reserved for hunting or jungle warfare. And if you are wearing shorts in either of those situations, you are either a badass or deeply underdressed.
• Fabric: These shorts are made of 98% cotton and 2% spandex, which gives them a soft and stretchy feel. The fabric is cheap, but that shouldn’t be a huge surprise. For the price they are almost disposable shorts.
