Collection: Trendy Workwear Shorts

Shorts That Work as Hard as You Do—Without the Swampy Back or Pocket Disasters
Because sweating through your smoko isn’t a badge of honor—it’s a cry for better shorts.

Aussie summers turn worksites into ovens, and your legs deserve workwear shorts that breathe, bend, and actually hold your tools. Think of them as your second skin—just tougher, smarter, and way less sweaty.

Why Tradies Live in These Shorts:

  • Cargo Pockets Galore: Hammer loops, phone slots, secret snack hideouts. Tools stay put, even when you’re upside-down in a roof cavity.

  • Tradie Shorts That Flex: Stretch fabric moves with you—no more split seams mid-squat or “Why can’t I reach that pipe?” moments.

  • Hi-Vis Options: Glow-in-the-dark strips for dodging forklifts at dusk. Because blending into scaffolding isn’t career goals.

No “Saggy Bum” Syndrome Here:

  • Reinforced Everything: Knees, seams, pockets—built to survive concrete scrapes and toolbelt tug-of-wars.

  • Breathable AF: Mesh linings and lightweight fabric. Finally, airflow where it counts.

Fit for Every Body:

  • Sizes S-5XL: Slim, stocky, or built like a brickie? No more waistbands that pinch or hems that ride up.

  • Men’s + Women’s Cuts: Because tradie thighs come in all shapes—and deserve equal pocket real estate.

Dress Code? “Rugged Meets Ready.”

  • From Site to Pub: Swap steel caps for thongs post-shift. No one’ll know you’re still carrying a spanner.

Your Move, Legend:
Grab shorts that survive heatwaves, tool hauls, and Aussie worksite chaos. Filter by length, colour, or “How many pockets do I need?”

Get a cool and comfy look with City Workwear’s new collection of trendy workwear shorts. We bring a fine range of work shorts for men, women, and kids. Everything inclusive of the regular and mid-fit, warm and soft touch, and casual and stylish design of these work shorts  are absolutely perfect.
 

Durable Quality & Material

The material of the workwear shorts is a blend of cotton and elastane drill, which helps to give a cooling and relaxing effect. Cotton is apt for summers as it absorbs sweat quickly. Elastane is similarly, a lightweight synthetic fiber that is suitable for stretchable shorts. The shorts have fine quality material that is tough and durable and thus ensures utmost comfort even in harsh working conditions. The shorts come with a ripstop construction that allows the fabric to be lightweight without compromising durability.

Fit & Features

The work shorts offer a relaxed, natural, and modern mid-rise fit with a comfortable and stretchable curved waistband for maximum comfort. They also have a button closure and a fine-quality zipper for extra convenience. The cotton shorts have a stretch fabric that provides unrestricted movement even while you are at work or indulging in any physical exercise. The work shorts also have a Gusseted crotch with triple-needle stitching for improved movement and durability. The shorts for women have two back pockets, two angled pockets, and two below cargo lightweight pockets with touch tape closure and internal stretch webbing. The pockets have wide openings, which makes them suitable for maximum storage.
