Khaki Shorts Outfit for Men: White Tee and Grey Jacket from Gym to Chai

Styled by our editors · Updated · 5 pieces · Complete look ₹2,953 · Prices checked

The outfit

This look is for after the session, not during it. The khaki shorts outfit men can wear to chai starts with RynoGear cotton shorts, cut with a button and zip like chinos, so they do not read as gym kit. The white Van Heusen tee keeps it light, and the grey jacket covers the scooter ride. Change into it in the locker room. What to keep in mind: The shorts have a button-and-zip fly, so do not squat or run in them; bring your gym shorts for the session itself.

Our verdict

A khaki shorts outfit men can change into after the gym: chino-style khaki shorts, a white tee, a grey zip jacket and a brown sling bag that make the walk to chai and errands look planned.

What we like

  • Button-and-zip khaki shorts read as chino shorts, not gym kit, which is the point of the look.
  • White, khaki, grey and brown are four neutrals, so nothing competes.
  • The grey jacket covers the scooter ride and the cold shop, then comes off for the walk.
  • The sneakers and bag are the ones from the session, so only the clothes change.

Keep in mind

  • The shorts are not for training: a button fly and fixed waistband restrict squats and running.
  • The Van Heusen tee carries a graphic, so it is less plain than the Boldfit white tee.
  • The polyester blend jacket traps heat on a humid afternoon walk.

Why it works

The look works by borrowing one piece from outside the gym. Khaki cotton shorts with a button and zip are cut like chinos, so the eye files the whole outfit under daywear even though the sneakers came from the workout. White on top keeps the khaki light rather than dusty, and the grey jacket sits between them in tone, which is why it can go on or off without breaking the outfit. The brown sling bag sits next to khaki on the warm side of the palette, so the two read as a pair rather than two separate choices. Swap the khaki shorts for the olive green linen blend pair and the outfit gets cooler to wear and a shade darker, but linen creases by the second errand. Drop the jacket and it becomes a pure summer look.

Frequently asked questions

What colour t-shirt goes with khaki shorts for men?
White, navy or olive; white is the freshest. Khaki is a light, warm neutral, so a white tee keeps the outfit bright, and a navy tee gives it more contrast for the evening.
Can you wear khaki shorts to the gym?
Not for training if they have a button and zip, like the RynoGear pair. A fly and a fixed waistband restrict squats and running. Train in gym shorts and change into the khaki pair for the walk after.
