Chino Shorts
About Uniqlo’s shorts: Uniqlo's shorts run from basic jersey and easy shorts up to the chino and cargo styles; the cotton chino short is the clean, well-finished value standout of the line.
Is the price honest?
Excellent value at $30 — the fabric weight, clean finishing, and color range genuinely beat the price, and there's no logo markup here. You're paying for a competently made cotton short, not a brand name; reviewers routinely call it the best chino short under $40.
Our take
Uniqlo's Chino Shorts are the value benchmark in the category — a clean, well-finished mid-weight cotton short that lands around the knee (Uniqlo offers them in a few inseam lengths), with tidy stitching and a color range that punches above the price. Owners consistently say they look more expensive than $30 and hold up to regular washing better than expected. The honest caveats: the cotton is mid-weight rather than heavy and takes wrinkles, and the slim-straight cut runs trim through the thigh and seat for bigger legs. The fabric also softens and fades a shade after repeated washes rather than staying crisp. For a neat, well-made everyday cotton chino short under $40, reviewers rate them at the top of the budget tier.

Write the first honest reviewThe details
- Material
- Mid-weight woven cotton (chino cloth); honest, simple fabric that wrinkles more than heavier all-cotton chinos rather than a technical or stretch-heavy build.
- Fit
- Slim-straight cut hitting around the knee (offered in a few inseam lengths), true to size but trim through the thigh and seat.
- Quality
- Above its price — clean construction, tidy hems, durable for $30; mid-weight cloth that softens and fades slightly with washing rather than staying crisp.
- Best for
- Clean, casual warm-weather wear and value-minded shoppers who want a neat chino short without spending much; trimmer-to-average builds.
- Care
- Cold wash and tumble low or hang; iron or steam if you want them crisp, as the cotton twill takes wrinkles.
