A man in a black t-shirt, blue frankster shorts, and white sneakers is mid-jump, playfully straddling two white posts on a city street. He is wearing sunglasses and smiling energetically. Behind him are palm trees and a building with colorful graffiti on the windows.

Our Story

Picture this: It’s a Friday – 5 pm. You’ve knocked off work and are headed home to change before heading out.

The sun is beating. Your mates are waiting. It’s a dangerous afternoon to be a pint. 

We made Frankster for moments like these.

We started as a local Melbourne brand with a clear mission – put Shorts on the pedestal where they belong. Between the shoes and the shirt; at the centre of it all.

If there’s one thing that screams summers, fiestas, friends, and fun – it’s Shorts! The best days are always that much better in a pair of Shorts.

Life is just better with a pair of Frankster Shorts!

We are all about Shorts

‘I fear not the man who has practised 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practised one kick 10,000 times.” — Bruce Lee

This is the Frankster approach to Shorts. We make one thing and we make it well. We want to be known all over the country for our perfect Shorts. There are more brands selling Shorts, but there is no Shorts brand like Frankster. 

We’re here for a laugh! You won’t find any unsmiling deadpan models at Frankster. We live for good Shorts and good vibes in equal measure. 

We are a direct-to-consumer online brand. By producing and selling exclusively through our website, we maintain complete control of every step of the process and can provide the best customer experience.

Put On, Do Good, Give Back

We proudly support Movember and their vital causes. Tackling mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer – they are taking them all on.

Since 2003, Movember has funded more than 1,250 men’s health projects around the world, challenging the status quo, shaking up men’s health research and transforming the way health services reach and support men.

They exist to help men live happier, healthier, longer lives.

Frankster pledges to donate 10% of its profits to Movember. Additionally, we'll be rolling out initiatives throughout the year to bolster our support.
