Men's Grey Cotton Shorts
Grey cotton shorts form the backbone of warm-weather dressing across India—these are that piece you reach for when the mercury climbs and you need something that won't cling or restrict. Our grey cotton shorts are woven from 100% cotton at 150 GSM, a weight that breathes without sagging after repeated washing, and sits between lightweight linen and heavier twill. The neutral grey works equally well in office-casual settings (paired with a linen shirt for client calls in air-conditioned spaces) or weekend errands, and won't show sweat stains the way lighter colours do during April–October humidity. Grey's versatility means you're not buying a single-season piece—it layers across your rotation year-round. The trade-off: pure cotton does wrinkle more readily than cotton-blends, so expect to iron if your standard is crisp creases. For fit, cotton relaxes slightly after wear, so size according to your natural waist rather than chasing a tighter fit.

Frequently Asked Questions about Shorts
How does 150 GSM cotton compare to lighter shorts I've owned?
150 GSM sits at the sweet spot for Indian summers—heavy enough to hold shape through multiple wears and washes, light enough that you won't overheat in mid-day heat. Anything below 120 GSM tends to feel thin and transparent; above 180 GSM starts trapping moisture. Our weight breathes well in 35°C+ heat while remaining opaque and structured, not drooping at the hem after two hours of wear.
Will grey show dirt or stains more than black or navy?
Grey shows dust and light stains more visibly than darker shades, but hides sweat marks better than white or khaki. For office or semi-formal settings where you're mostly indoors, this works in your favour. If you're wearing these for outdoor work or travel where dust accumulation matters, darker greys or navy are more practical choices.
How should I wash these to prevent excessive shrinkage or fading?
Pure cotton shrinks 3–5% in the first wash if exposed to hot water and high heat drying. Wash in cool water, gentle cycle, and air-dry. Avoid chlorine bleach, which accelerates fading on grey. With this routine, the colour stabilises after 3–4 washes and holds for 40+ cycles before noticeable dulling occurs.
Are these suitable for office settings or more casual-only?
Shorts themselves are casual wear in most Indian office environments, but grey's neutral tone works in creative industries, hybrid offices, and client-facing roles where smart-casual is the standard. Pair with a structured shirt and formal sandals or loafers. For traditional corporate or formal settings, these remain weekend-only pieces.
