Three grey models to choose from
This collection brings together three pairs of grey golf shorts, and they differ on more points than just the shade. Two of them are Tech Shorts - Light Grey and Tech Shorts - Light Grey '25, both in a light grey tone with a clean, technical look. The third pair is Cargo Shorts - Grey '25, which has a darker grey tone and the characteristic side pockets on the legs.
In practice, the choice is therefore between a tighter, minimalist tech short and a cargo model with more storage and a clearer everyday feel. Below we go through what sets them apart, how the grey colour works with the rest of your golf wardrobe, and how to find the right size.
Tech Shorts or Cargo Shorts
The difference is most noticeable in the pockets and the silhouette. Cargo Shorts - Grey '25 has thigh pockets that make room for a ball marker, tees, phone or a scorecard without you having to put everything in your bag. It's a practical solution for anyone who wants the essentials within reach during the round, and the cargo style means the shorts also work when you step off the course.
The two Tech Shorts models, Tech Shorts - Light Grey and Tech Shorts - Light Grey '25, go in the opposite direction: clean lines and a tighter cut without extra pockets on the legs. If you choose them, you prioritise a neat, stripped-back look over storage. The fact that there are two Tech Shorts in light grey means you can find the right one even if a size or a batch is sold out in one of the variants.
Why grey is easy to match
Grey is a neutral colour that works with pretty much everything else in your wardrobe. A light grey short like the Tech Shorts pairs well with both bold and muted colours on top, while the darker grey cargo model gives a clearer contrast against light polos and t-shirts. If you want to build a whole outfit around the shorts, you'll find the tops under polos and t shirts, and a matching cap under caps.
The advantage of a neutral base is that you can vary the rest freely. A pair of grey shorts ties a look together without competing with it, which also makes them easy to wear off the course.
How to choose the right size
Most people choose their golf shorts in the same waist measurement as their regular trousers. If you're between two sizes, think about how you want them to fit: a size up gives more room over the thighs and seat and a more relaxed fit, while your usual size keeps the silhouette tighter. The cargo model is often perceived as slightly roomier in the leg because of the pockets, so factor that in if you prefer a neat drape.
If the measurements in the garment's size guide match a different number than you usually wear, it's worth trusting the measurements over the size label. If you want to compare with other cuts, you can take a look at the entire range under bottoms.
Washing and care that preserves the colour
Grey is easy to keep looking good, but a light grey short shows dirt and grass stains more clearly than a dark one. Wash in lukewarm water, avoid too high a temperature and an excessive amount of detergent, and rinse off grass streaks as soon as you can rather than letting them sit. Air dry rather than running on high heat in the tumble dryer, and the fabric will keep both its fit and function longer. Always follow the care label in the garment, as it takes precedence over general advice.
Grey as part of the whole golf wardrobe
A pair of grey shorts is most useful as a solid base that you build around. If you need a layer for cooler mornings, you'll find options under midlayers, and if you're looking for more new items for the season, they're gathered under new arrivals.
