Mossimo Cargo Shorts — Men's Utility Shorts Collection
Our Mossimo cargo shorts deliver the utility and comfort you need for weekend projects, beach trips, and everyday wear. Built from durable cotton twill with a touch of stretch, these shorts feature classic cargo pockets on each leg, a relaxed fit through the thigh, and a 10.5-inch inseam that sits just above the knee.
We build Mossimo cargo shorts from 100% cotton twill with a 2% stretch blend that moves with you through crouches, climbs, and long days on your feet. The twill weave resists abrasion better than standard poplin, so pocket edges and seat areas hold up through repeated wash cycles and rough surfaces.
Sizing & fit guide
Our Mossimo cargo shorts run true to size in the waist and feature a classic relaxed fit through the seat and thigh. The 10.5-inch inseam sits just above the knee on most men between 5’8″ and 6’2″ — taller builds will find the hem closer to mid-knee, while shorter frames may see it land an inch or two above.
We recommend ordering your normal pant waist size. The adjustable drawcord waistband gives you about 2 inches of cinch range if you’re between sizes or prefer a lower or higher rise. The rise measures 11 inches from crotch seam to waistband, sitting comfortably at the natural waist or slightly below depending on your preferred wear style.
Styling & care
Mossimo cargo shorts pair naturally with casual tees, polos, and button-down shirts for weekend errands, backyard work, and outdoor activities. The neutral colorways — khaki, olive, navy, and graphite — coordinate with most warm-weather wardrobes without requiring a dedicated outfit plan.
We build these shorts to handle regular machine washing without special treatment. Wash cold with like colors, tumble dry on low heat, and remove promptly to minimize wrinkles. The cotton twill softens slightly with each wash while maintaining its structure and pocket shape. Iron on medium heat if needed, though most guys skip this step for casual wear.
