Shorts on the LitBuy Spreadsheet

Mesh, cargo, sweat and swim shorts for summer hauls.

Shorts are a small but useful category on the LitBuy Spreadsheet. Essentials sweat shorts, Nike Tech Fleece shorts, Eric Emanuel and Chrome Hearts-style mesh shorts, Stussy and Corteiz cargos and designer swim shorts from Dior and Louis Vuitton make up most of the listings. They are light, cheap and rarely fail QC, which makes them ideal for filling a haul that is just under a shipping bracket.

The grid below shows live listings. The main decision is length — inseams range from 5 to 9 inches and sellers do not always state it, so read the sizing note.

What you will find

  • Mesh basketball shorts in the Eric Emanuel style with 5, 7 and 9 inch inseams
  • Sweat shorts from Essentials, Nike Tech Fleece and Represent
  • Cargo shorts from Stussy, Corteiz and Carhartt
  • Swim shorts from Dior, Louis Vuitton and Palm Angels

How to buy shorts through LitBuy

Length and fit

Ask the seller for the inseam in centimetres if it is not listed. 13 cm is roughly a 5-inch short, 18 cm a 7-inch, 23 cm a 9-inch. Waist follows the same rules as pants — double the flat measurement and match your own pair.

What to check in QC photos

Mesh shorts: the drawstring tips, the side-panel stitching and the embroidered logo. Swim shorts: the mesh liner and the all-over print alignment at the seams. Cargo shorts: pocket flap alignment. Shorts rarely need to be rejected, but misaligned prints on swim shorts are common.

Budget and platform

Most shorts are $10–$25 after conversion and weigh 200–350 g. Two pairs typically add under $3 in shipping. Weidian has the best selection of mesh and sweat shorts; Taobao is good for plain cargo shorts.

FAQ

Do mesh shorts come with a liner?

Most Eric Emanuel-style mesh shorts do not, matching retail. Swim shorts should have a mesh liner — check for it in the QC photos.

Are shorts worth QC photos?

Yes, but you can approve quickly. The only frequent defect is print misalignment on swim shorts and uneven embroidery on mesh shorts.

What size should I order in Essentials shorts?

One size up from your US size for a regular fit. The retail cut is already relaxed and Asian sizing runs small.
