Work shorts are the ideal alternative to work trousers for warehouse operatives, people who work outdoors like gardeners and postman or for tradespeople, in the summer months when hopefully the weather is hot or warmer than average.
There are a variety of different styles to choose including standard shorts, to multi-pocket shorts, or pirate trousers which are in reality shorts that go over the knees.
Shorts are available in a variety of colours, styles and sizes; some have patterns like camo shots and Bermuda shorts, however the most popular shorts are navy or black, other colours like white shorts are trade specific with white shorts being popular for painters. Some shorts are designed for use with knee pads; these are usually the longer pirate shorts and are typically used by tradesmen such as tilers who kneel frequently.
Most of the leading brands have a range of work shorts, one of the most popular are the Dickies Redhawk Cargo Shorts. Mansfield based Hall-Fast sell so many of these that they hold extensive stocks so they can either be collected or despatched on the day of ordering.
