Meet The Everydays. Premium men's chino shorts made for sun-soaked afternoons, harbour-side lunches, and the kind of weekends worth dressing for. Built for guys who like to keep things relaxed, but still know when to sharpen up.
What Are Men's Chino Shorts?
Chino type shorts are tailored, mid-length shorts cut from woven cotton with a touch of stretch. They sit flat at the front, finish at or just above the knee, and skip the bulky cargo pockets or heavy stitching you see on more casual shorts.
That clean shape is what makes them the most-worn piece in Aussie wardrobes. For most guys, they're the single best style of shorts to own — versatile enough for work, polished enough for nights out, and comfortable enough for a full weekend.
Explore Our Range of Stylish and Comfortable Men's Chino Shorts
We make our chino shorts from a 98% cotton and 2% spandex blend, picked for softness, structure and easy movement. Each pair is garment-dyed after construction, letting the colour settle into the fabric for a softer, more lived-in finish. It's a lower-impact process that uses less water and fewer chemicals.
Cut true to size with a clean mid-length fit, our chino shorts for men sit just above the knee — relaxed enough for everyday wear, sharp enough for drinks, dinner, or anywhere you need to look like you made a bit of effort.
Every pair includes the details you'll actually use:
-
A partly elasticated waistband for extra room through the waist
-
Belt loops for days when you want a sharper finish
-
Two deep side pockets, one back pocket and a hidden zip pocket
-
A soft stretch-cotton feel that stays comfy from morning to night
-
16 colours, from everyday neutrals to seasonal shades

Why Choose Frankster Chino Shorts for Men
Frankster is an Australia-based brand with one goal: making the best everyday shorts for Aussie Blokes. Our mens chinos shorts keep guys coming back because they're practical, stylish and easy to wear across most plans.
Here's why they earn a spot in the rotation:
All-day comfort — Most casual shorts go full-elastic for ease or full-rigid for shape. Our chinos give a buttery-soft feel with just the right amount of stretch, so you get comfort without pinching, bunching, or losing that clean chino look.
Skip the satchel, carry it all — Two deep side pockets, a back pocket, and a hidden zip pocket on the right sized for the latest iPhone. The pocket build most chino brands skip, which is why you usually end up carrying a bag you didn't want to bring.
Easy colour choices — 16 colours instead of the usual four or five most brands offer. Go earthy for weekends, neutral for office days, or seasonal for something different. Every shade is chosen to work with the tees, polos and shirts already in your wardrobe.
Built for repeat wear — We don't make throwaway shorts. Frankster is built around everyday reliability, honest comfort, and gear that keeps up with Aussie life season after season.
Order with confidence - Our chino shorts are cut true to size and fit-tested across different builds, helping you avoid the boxy, baggy or too-tight feel common with other brands. With inclusive sizing available, it's easier to find a pair that feels right from the first wear.
¹ Between sizes? Go one up for a little extra room without losing the clean fit.
