Men's Loose Straight Denim Shorts - Light Wash Knee Length

Our review of these shorts finds them best for anyone wanting a relaxed, '90s-inspired short that hangs at the knee and works with casual or slightly dressed-up looks. Built in a light wash denim with a raw edge hem, these are notable for their very loose fit and comfortable construction. The single biggest reason to buy is the relaxed silhouette that stays true to the 569 heritage while offering modern washes and a forgiving cut for everyday wear.

Key Features

• Loose straight fit: The roomy cut delivers relaxed movement and a vintage silhouette that avoids cling and sits comfortably around the thighs.
• Light wash denim: The pale, worn look pairs easily with tees or button shirts for versatile summer styling.
• Raw edge hem: The unfinished hem gives a casual, lived-in appearance without needing alterations.
• Knee length: The shorts fall at the knees for coverage that works for urban, skate, and everyday casual outfits.
• Consistent sizing heritage: These follow the 569 fit lineage, offering the same feel as earlier versions while introducing updated washes.

Who It's For

These shorts suit men who prefer a loose, retro-inspired profile and need a durable everyday pair that is easy to style. They are ideal for those who like knee-length coverage, want breathable denim for warm months, and appreciate a classic casual look that can be paired with sneakers or sandals.

Those who want a slim or tailored short, or who require precise, consistent sizing, may want to try a different cut. Shoppers seeking an especially rugged work short or a high-performance fabric should look elsewhere, as this is a heritage denim piece focused on fit and style rather than technical features.
