Fun, Stylish and Comfortable - Your Woolworths Summer Shorts Guide

Smart with a touch of stretch

The cotton bermuda shorts combine the comfort of stretch cotton with the polish of a semi-structured cut. They come with a matching belt and a clean fit that works beautifully with a tucked-in shirt or tank. Perfect for warm office days, brunches, or family events when you still want to look stylish.

Soft structure, cool finish

Linen blend shorts are your go-to for heat. They’re light, airy, and effortlessly chic. Tailored pleats add refinement, so you can wear them to coffee catch-ups or even summer dinners. Pair them with a crisp blouse or a tucked-in vest and sandals.

Every day classic

Our chino shorts are summer staples. They’re cut from soft cotton twill with a hint of stretch. You’ll love how they move with you. These pair well with everything from slogan tees to linen shirts. Great for holidays, grocery runs or sundowners with friends.

Denim with detail

Update your weekend style with denim shorts made from stretch cotton. They hug just right, offer all-day comfort and bring timeless style. Try them with cropped tops, printed tees or oversized poplin shirts for a casual day out.

Relaxed but put-together

The linen blend cargo shorts combine airy fabric with a classic cargo design. They feel light and natural. The fit’s relaxed, the pockets are practical, and the look suits relaxed weekends, road trips or quick errands in the heat.

Smart, warm-weather staple

Woolworths cotton chino shorts hit the mark between dressed-up and casual. You can wear these chino shorts with a short-sleeve button-up or a polo for work lunches, or pair them with sneakers and a tee when it’s time to unwind. These are the shorts you reach for again and again.

Cool comfort for laid-back days

Our men's denim shorts have a comfy, classic fit. They don’t cling or ride up. The mid-thigh length hits the sweet spot for heat without looking too casual. These are the ones to wear when you’re firing up the braai, walking the dog or grabbing a cold drink after a long week.

Board shorts, made to move

For the beach, pool, or even a hot gym session, our board shorts deliver. They’re lightweight, quick-drying and come in a range of prints. Throw them on with a linen shirt or an open tee, and you’re set for the coast.

• Pick fabrics that breathe for your shorts. Think of linen, cotton, and blends that won’t trap heat. 
• Keep colours light. Think white, olive, dusty pink, stone and navy. For women, balance loose shorts with fitted tops or crop tees. 
• Add gold jewellery, slides or a straw bag. For men, roll the waistband slightly for a relaxed look. Pair with slip-ons or clean sneakers for effortless style.
• Choose shorts made from high-quality fabric with expert stitching. You are more active in summer, and ripped shorts after getting out of your car is not the look you are going for this summer. 

Woolworths shorts are made with responsibly sourced cotton, many through the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI). You’ll feel the difference in quality. Stitching that lasts. Fabric that holds its shape. Cuts that flatter without trying too hard. Every detail matters because you deserve exceptional quality with every wear.
