Frankster’s shorts are an essential part of any summer wardrobe, offering versatility and style for various situations, including sweat shorts for lounging and light athletic activities, and active shorts for golfing and hiking.

When it comes to choosing the perfect pair of shorts, inseam length is a crucial factor to consider. At Frankster, we understand this and all our shorts have a 7-inch inseam, so the shorts are mid-length and hit above the knee. We believe this is the right length for shorts.
