Aaron Marino of alpha m. presents an alternative to baggy, mesh men’s shorts for working out. Men’s mesh shorts are roomy and comfortable but they are baggy and don’t have secure pockets. Aaron wears cargo shorts, khaki flat front shorts, and other light weight cotton fabrics.
As long as the shorts don’t bunch, he wears them to workout. However, he definitely never wears jean shorts to workout. Lululemon is a brand that Aaron hasn’t explored because they are crazy expensive but may have some options.
