Upside Syracuse Orange Mesh Shorts in White, Men's at Urban Outfitters

Product Insights & Style Tips

The UPSIDE Syracuse Orange Mesh Shorts channel a no-rules athletic classic energy—equal parts sports nostalgia and streetwise ease. Rendered in crisp white mesh, these shorts deliver breezy ventilation, with an airy structure that moves with you. The lightweight feel and subtle athletic trim nod to throwback gym kits while staying current enough for your next city errand run or rooftop hang.

The elastic waistband gives a flexible, comfortable fit that sits just right, whether you’re wearing them over bike shorts or solo. Deep pockets accommodate keys, cards, and whatever else you throw in without ever bulking out the silhouette. The length is that sweet spot between relaxed and tailored, making it easy to team them with an oversized tee or a vintage graphic tank, then throw on a jacket when the sun goes down. Mesh layers easily—so they’ll slip over swim trunks post-pool or ground a look topped with boxy outerwear for off-duty hours.

With athleisure blurring every boundary, these UPSIDE mesh shorts stake their claim as both an MVP basic and a nod to that early-2000s revival wave. Wear them anywhere comfort, attitude, and a little authenticity matter—because the best pieces adapt to both gym class and after-hours.
