Men's Relaxed Fit Wide-Leg Summer Shorts

These relaxed fit wide-leg summer shorts offer an easy, comfortable silhouette designed for men who want room to move. The elastic drawstring waist removes the need for zips or buttonholes and allows the fit to be adjusted throughout the day, while deep side pockets keep essentials secure and close to hand. The generous leg width gives the shorts a loose, breezy shape that sits away from the body in warm weather.

Lightweight and mid-weight woven fabrics suit this design particularly well. Linen, linen blends, cotton poplin, chambray, seersucker and lightweight twill all drape softly enough to show off the wide leg while remaining breathable. Wear them for beach days and holidays, weekend errands, gardening, or simply as relaxed loungewear at home during hot summer months.

Sizes run from XS to 5XL (XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL). The pattern is a PDF for printing at home on US Letter or A4 paper (one file for both), and it also includes an A0 file for printing at a copy shop. All sizes are layered in one file, so you print only the size you need.
