9" Khaki Chino Shorts 2.0

Wore these to a client meeting and then straight to a backyard barbecue, and they held up fine at both. The fabric breathes way better than my old cotton shorts, and the khaki hasn't faded after several washes.

The 9-inch inseam hits right at the knee for me, so I can actually sit and stand all day without the fabric bunching up. The stretch in the waistband is what sold me, it moves with you instead of digging in. These are my new go-to for any summer plan that isn't the beach.

I wore these to a backyard barbecue and then straight to a client meeting the next day—the stretch fabric meant zero digging or pinching when I sat down, and the khaki color stayed clean after a light wash. They've basically replaced everything else in my summer rotation.
