Men's Cotton Shorts
Cotton shorts are the warm-weather everyday — breathable, soft, comfortable for long Indian summer days. The Basics cotton shorts range covers 100% cotton and cotton-stretch blends in Comfort Fit, with full pocket construction and elasticated drawstring waistband. 12 colour families, in solid, printed, and textured designs. The fabric of choice for daily wear over synthetics — softer against the skin, more breathable in heat, easier to care for. The shorts you'll reach for most often through Indian summers. Cotton shorts feel soft, breathable, gets better with washing. Cotton is best for year-round wear; the safe default for Indian weather. Care: wash cold (30°C), tumble dry low or line dry, iron medium. With proper handling, holds 2-3 years of regular wear with proper care. If you're picking between fabrics, cotton is the right call when comfort and breathability matter more than wrinkle resistance — and it remains the most-bought fabric in this range for everyday Indian wear conditions. Most cotton shorts in the Basics range are pre-shrunk and colour-fast through the first several washes; the structural integrity of the seams and finishes is engineered to outlast the colour of the fabric itself.
