Frankster family, let's finally decide between cargo and chino shorts. All of us have seen those oversized, multi-pocketed monsters that for decades escaped the fashion police. Bless their hearts made of cotton blends; they are making an effort. At a fashion show, though, cargo shorts are about as stylish as a fanny pack. Hey, we're not here to pass judgement... much. Assume for the moment that this battle of the bottoms has a clear favourite.
Round 1: Style Battle
Cargo shorts make sense; the extra pockets appear useful. Who, however, needs to lug about a Swiss Army knife, an extra pair of socks, and a week's worth of snacks? Not to add the dubious style statement such large pockets provide. Just attempting to get a coffee without tripping over your own shorts is not Indiana Jones on a treasure hunt.
Short chino: Effortlessly sleek, clean, and sharp. As these bad guys put it, "I'm here for a good time, not a long time," and we're all about that attitude. Chino shorts are a great option whether you're heading to the beach, the pub or the backyard BBQ. The height of smart casual, they are the kind of shorts you can dress up or down without coming across as overly effortful.
Advantage: Chino Shorts (I'm sorry cargo aficionados, but your moment in the spotlight is past.)
Round 2: The cosy zone
Cargo shorts: In a "couch potato chic" sense, they may be comfortable. While you're moving, though, all that extra fabric might get really hot and heavy. Not to mention their trademark "swish-swish" sound with each stride. It sounds like an uncomfortable symphony.
Chino shorts feel so good against your skin—light, airy, and wonderfully silky. All day comfort and coolness are guaranteed by their breathable fabrics. These shorts will move with you, not against you whether you're leaping fences or putting on your best dancing routine.
Advantage: Chino shorts (who would have thought comfort could look this good?)
Round 3: The Frankster Vibe Check
Cargo shorts are like well-meaning but a little embarrassing dad jokes in the fashion industry. Our dads are great, but we don't always want to dress like them.
Fun, flirtatious, and oh so Frankster are chino shorts. They embodie the lively and adventurous attitude of our brand to the hilt. Every personality and every occasion may find a pair of Frankster chinos in a variety of classic colours and striking designs.
Advantage: chino shorts (mic drop).
Knockout Punch:
Chino shorts are, in the end, just better. They're chic, multipurpose, and won't give the impression that you're on safari. Hence, give up the cargo pockets and welcome Frankster chinos' freedom. You'll thank your legs (and your sense of style).
P.S. We understand that change might be frightening, if you're still holding onto your cargo shorts. But believe us, once you've worn Frankster chinos, you won't be able to wear anything else.
