I currently have a pair of oxford shorts in my favorite shade of pink, and I recently ordered a pair of chino shorts in that same color.

I wonder, how do chino and oxford shorts compare? My oxford shorts are very lightweight; I personally wouldn't wear them outside the house. Are chino shorts generally heavier? Looking at the differences between the two, the oxford shorts are a cotton/poly/spandex blend, while the chino shorts are mostly cotton with 2% spandex.

Can anyone explain how chino and oxford shorts generally compare?

Just recieved my pink chino shorts. Just as I thought, the chino shorts are heavier than the oxford shorts and can be worn outside the house.

Chinos will hold up longer, right? The fabric is thicker than oxford. Actually, I don't recall seeing oxford shorts...

Glad you received them....pretty in pink

Oxford shorts are common among preppy brands, particularly in their spring/summer collections.

When I have had oxford cloth shorts, I made sure not to wear them that often. The fabric wears out much more quickly than khaki/chino. It was not meant to be sat upon.

I probably would never wear my oxford shorts outside my house. They are mainly for being around the house.
