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
Check out kings of new york if you like bball shorts
Super cool and super cheap
Bball shorts are comfy but idt they look good for most fits :/
The shorts in question
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
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
UNIQLO
Stretch Slim-Fit Shorts (9
Elastic at the waist for a comfortable fit. Perfect for refined styling.
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
Oh yeah def no belt
i'd look out of place
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
Yeah im trying to just get the basics down then see where I want to go from there
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
right on
But rn it's hot af and my fits lacking from the shorts
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
Ayyy I'll check out the polos appreciate it
