How MAISON MISFIT Shorts Should Fit
The perfect pair of shorts should be comfortable, flattering, and versatile enough to move with you from lazy mornings to bold nights. At MAISON MISFIT, we design unisex shorts that fuse comfort with street-inspired style. Let’s explore exactly how our shorts should fit so you can feel confident and expressive every day.
How Men's Shorts Should Fit
Even though our shorts are designed for everyone, we often get asked how men’s shorts should fit. The answer? It’s all about personal comfort, body type, and your style vibe. MAISON MISFIT offers a tailored but relaxed unisex fit across the board.
HOW LONG SHOULD YOUR SHORTS BE?
Short Fit Factor #1: Your Height
While our shorts are designed to suit all heights, here's a quick guide:
- If you're on the shorter side, our mid-thigh shorts like the Fearless Shorts or Find Freedom Shorts offer a lengthening effect.
- Taller wearers often find a perfect fit in styles like the Nice Athletic Shorts with a longer rise.

Whether you’re into bold silhouettes or subtle structure, our unisex fits cater to all levels of leg confidence. Want to show off? The Celebrity Miniature Shorts - Black hit higher on the thigh for a strong statement. Prefer coverage? Try 15 Shorts for more balance.

OUT THE SHORTS WIDTH
Shorts should fit like your favorite pants, easy to wear, not overly snug, and never baggy. Use the “pinch trick”: pinch about an inch of fabric at the thigh. If it’s more, it may be too loose; if none, you might need more room. MAISON MISFIT shorts like Undefined Shorts and Find Freedom Shorts have a roomy feel, while Fearless and Celebrity Miniature Shorts offer more shape.
