Best cheap shorts of various styles?

I live in the South, and so it is always hot af, this makes it hard to wear anything except shorts and a tee on most days, so I'm currently trying to upgrade my shorts rotation, as all I currently wear are athletic basketball shorts. I see many people recommending chinos and the like, where can I get items like this for cheap (~20 per pair)?

For context these are some items I'm looking at right now (heard Uniqlo is good), linen is supposedly good for hot weather so figured I'd grab those

I'm also skinny so tend to stick to like 7"-9" for shorts probably

Looks nicer than my shorts But I do already have a lot of em so was looking for these more "formal"? types of shorts

Uniqlo chinos are solid if a little slim

I tend to like slimmer
artvandelayimporting
I’d give them a go then. I’ve got about five pairs in various colors and no issue with quality

very skinny so anything not slim tends to make me look skinnier in comparison Nice, would you expect these other types of shorts they have would also be good, I have no idea what the real differences would be for the ones I showed above and the chinos, they look more or less the same
artvandelayimporting
I used to have quite a few pairs of these actually For $20 they are fine

Liked them as a way to wear a non-athletic short without needing a belt
Nathaniel

Oh yeah def no belt i'd look out of place
artvandelayimporting
Don’t see myself dipping back into them as they aren’t particularly interesting but as a basic cheap short you could do way way worse
Nathaniel

Yeah im trying to just get the basics down then see where I want to go from there
artvandelayimporting
For sure again, these are not gonna win you any prizes, but as far as a basic, cheap short which is what I think you're after, they'll do fine

Yep that's what Im looking for rn Will get nicer stuff later
artvandelayimporting
right on

But rn it's hot af and my fits lacking from the shorts
artvandelayimporting
shorts are tough it's truly area dependent but I also recommend checking your local thrifts to see if there's any pants that would be worth turning into shorts

You can find vintage Polo shorts on eBay for under $20. The Tyler shorts have a longer inseam and andrew shorts have a shorter inseam. Patagonia baggies are great for the summer but usually closer to $40
