Levi’s chino shorts sit in the brand’s everyday casual range, offering a cleaner, smarter look than denim cut-offs while competing with the usual high-street chinos from the likes of Jack & Jones or Superdry. These are being listed in specific sizes/colours (khaki in 36W, black in 29W), so it’s one for anyone who already knows their Levi’s fit and just wants a reliable warm-weather staple.

Who are these shorts best for?

If you want something that can pass for “smart casual” with a polo or linen shirt, chinos do the job better than cargo or denim shorts. The cotton-rich fabric keeps them breathable, while a small amount of elastane gives a bit of stretch for comfort when sitting, walking, or cycling.

• 98% cotton, 2% elastane — soft feel with a touch of give, rather than stiff workwear-style chino cloth
• Machine washable — low-fuss care for regular summer wear
