The point is freedom of movement: the fabric should follow the body, not resist it. At the same time, \"loose\" is not the same as \"too big\". A good loose fit hangs nicely from the waist, falls straight down along the leg and leaves room around the thigh, but doesn't flap and doesn't slide down. If they sit too loose they start to twist as you walk, and the fabric pockets slap against your leg with every step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003eThe two models in this collection, Shibuya Shorts - Offwhite and Shibuya Shorts - Dark Navy, are built for exactly that balance: a relaxed fit that makes room for the swing without becoming so wide that it disturbs your play. If you want to compare with the full range, you'll find more models under \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/local-rule.com\/sv\/collections\/bottoms\"\u003etrousers \u0026amp; shorts\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top:32px; margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eA loose fit without the shorts being too big\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003eThe most common question behind \"loose golf shorts\" is how loose you should actually go. The benchmark is simple: you should be able to slide a flat hand inside the waistband without it feeling tight, and you should be able to do a deep squat without the fabric straining across your thighs. But the waist should still hold without a belt, and the leg opening shouldn't gape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003eThe difference between loose and too big shows most clearly in movement. A round of golf is four to five hours and several kilometres of walking, and a pair that's one size too big starts to slide and requires you to constantly pull them up. If you're unsure between two sizes on a relaxed model, it's usually wiser to choose the smaller one and let the relaxed cut provide the freedom of movement, rather than sizing up. When trying them on, take a few steps and do a practice swing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top:32px; margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eThe right length for loose-fitting shorts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003eThe length determines whether a pair of loose-fitting shorts looks relaxed or just big. Most men's golf shorts have an inseam of around 18 to 23 centimetres, which corresponds to the hem landing just above the knee. On a loose-fitting model that length is extra important: a shorter cut combined with a wide fit can look baggy, while a length that ends right at or just above the knee balances the width and keeps the silhouette clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003eA practical tip is to let the hem end where the leg is at its narrowest above the knee. If you want to dig deeper into how length affects both looks and comfort, we've written more in the guide \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/local-rule.com\/sv\/blogs\/blog\/vilken-l-ngd-ska-golfshorts-ha\"\u003ewhat length should golf shorts be\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top:32px; margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eLight and breathable materials for warm rounds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003eLoose-fitting shorts come into their own when it's warm, and then the fabric matters at least as much as the fit. A light, airy material lets air through and wicks away sweat, so the shorts don't cling to your skin on the back of your thigh during a hot July round. Some stretch in the fabric also helps the swing: even a relaxed fit benefits from the material giving way in the twist rather than resisting it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003eThe combination of a loose cut and breathable fabric is also what makes a pair of golf shorts comfortable after the round, on the clubhouse terrace or on the way home. If you're looking for longer alternatives for cooler days, we have \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/local-rule.com\/sv\/collections\/lightweight-golf-pants\"\u003elightweight golf trousers\u003c\/a\u003e built in the same spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top:32px; margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003ePockets that hold tees, ball and scorecard\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003eOne detail that separates real golf shorts from ordinary summer shorts is the pockets. On the course you need room for a spare ball, a couple of tees, a pitch fork and a scorecard, and the pockets should hold that without becoming bulky or dropping things when you bend down. On loose-fitting models the pockets also sit a little more airily against the leg, which means a full pocket doesn't pull the fabric out of shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003eIt's this practical side that makes a pair of golf shorts work through an entire round. If you want to complement them with the right accessories to put in your pocket, you'll find them under \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/local-rule.com\/sv\/collections\/accessories\"\u003eaccessories\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top:32px; margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eOffwhite or Dark Navy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003eThe collection comes in two colours, and the choice mostly comes down to how you want to build the rest of the outfit. Shibuya Shorts - Offwhite is the lighter, more summery variant that gives an airy feel and pairs nicely with darker polos. Shibuya Shorts - Dark Navy is the more neutral all-round colour that's easy to match and stays clean longer during a dusty round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003eOffwhite lifts a light summer look but requires a bit more care with washing, while navy is the safe choice that works with almost everything you already have in your wardrobe.

A relaxed fit is fully compatible with most dress codes as long as the shorts are proper golf shorts and not leisurewear. If you're unsure what applies, it pays to check the club's rules in advance, so you avoid unpleasant surprises on the first tee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003eWe've gone through how golf's dress code works in practice in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/local-rule.com\/sv\/blogs\/blog\/golf-dresscode\"\u003egolf dress code\u003c\/a\u003e, and why shorts are sometimes restricted in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/local-rule.com\/sv\/blogs\/blog\/varf-r-faar-man-inte-b-ra-shorts-paa-golfbanan\"\u003ewhy aren't you allowed to wear shorts on the golf course\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"shibuya-shorts-offwhite","title":"Shibuya Shorts - Offwhite","description":"\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003eThe Local Rule Shibuya shorts are designed with a water-repellent, technical cotton-elastane twill fabric, making them ideal for unexpected rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese shorts sit at a regular waist and feature a comfortable wide leg for ease of movement and a relaxed look.
