Men's 7 inch shorts sit at the sweet spot between coverage and freedom — long enough to feel secure, short enough to stay out of your way. Whether you're pulling heavy at the squat rack or pushing pace on the track, the 7 inch inseam keeps things comfortable without restricting your stride.
The range includes woven training shorts, sweat shorts, and 2-in-1 styles, so there's a cut for every training style. Colourways run from everyday neutrals like black and grey to bolder options, giving you plenty of ways to build out your gym kit.
Who This Collection Is For
These shorts are built for men who train seriously and want kit that keeps up. If you're lifting, running, or doing mixed sessions that jump between cardio and strength work, the 7 inch length gives you the range of motion you need without excess fabric getting in the way.
Rest day wearers are covered too. The sweat short styles bring a more relaxed, cotton-rich feel that's just as comfortable on an active recovery walk or a low-key day off as they are in a light session. Whatever your pace, there's a cut here that fits the moment.
When to Wear Men's 7 Inch Shorts
In the gym, the 7 inch length works across just about everything — deadlifts, lunges, box jumps, sled pushes. Woven and 2-in-1 styles are especially well suited to high-output sessions where you need fabric that moves with you rather than against you.
Outside the gym, sweat short styles pull double duty. The elasticated waistbands and softer fabrics make them an easy grab for running errands, warm-up walks, or anything in between. The 7 inch cut keeps them versatile enough to wear beyond the training floor.
Key Features
The 7 Inch Inseam
The 7 inch inseam is a tried-and-tested training length — enough to feel covered during compound lifts, short enough to allow a full stride without the fabric bunching at the knee. It's the go-to cut for a reason.
Multiple Fit Options
From relaxed sweat short cuts to close-fit 2-in-1 styles with built-in liner shorts, the range covers different preferences for how a short should sit and feel. Oversized fits, standard cuts, and fitted options all feature across the collection.
Fabric Choices That Match Your Session
Woven fabrics bring structure and a purposeful feel to high-intensity training. Cotton-rich sweat short fabrics offer a softer, more relaxed feel for lighter days. Each style is matched to its intended use rather than being a one-fabric-fits-all approach.
Practical Construction Details
Elasticated drawstring waistbands, mesh liners, and thoughtfully placed pockets appear across the range — small details that make a real difference when you're mid-session and need everything to just work.

Men's 7 Inch Shorts FAQs
Men's 7 inch shorts refer to the inseam length — the measurement from the crotch seam to the hem. At 7 inches, they sit mid-thigh, which is a popular length for gym training because it allows a full range of motion without the shorts riding up or restricting movement. The range here includes woven training styles, 2-in-1 shorts with built-in liners, and cotton-rich sweat short options.
Gym shorts in woven or 2-in-1 styles are built specifically for training — the fabrics and construction are geared towards higher-output sessions. Sweat shorts use a softer, cotton-rich fabric that's more relaxed in feel, making them better suited to rest days, casual wear, or lighter activity. Both share the same 7 inch inseam, so the length is consistent across the range.
2-in-1 shorts feature an outer shell combined with a built-in inner liner, similar to a short base layer underneath. The liner sits close to the body for a secure feel, while the outer layer gives the look of a standard training short. It's a practical design that removes the need to wear separate liner shorts underneath.
Think about how you train and what you want from the fit. If you're doing heavy compound lifts or explosive movements, a woven training short or a 2-in-1 style tends to work well — they're built for that kind of output. If you want something you can wear to train and then straight out the door, a sweat short style like the MP Men's Rest Day 7" Sweat Short in Falcon is a solid pick — the elasticated drawstring waistband gives a customisable fit, and the cotton-rich fabric moves with you through whatever the day brings.
Each product page has a size guide with specific measurements. Use your waist measurement as your starting point, then check the fit notes on the individual product — some styles are cut with a relaxed or oversized fit, which may affect which size works best for you. If you're between sizes, the fit notes on each page will help you decide whether to size up or stay true to size.
The product page for each style includes fit notes, fabric details, and often imagery showing the shorts in movement. The size guide gives inseam measurements so you know exactly what to expect from the 7 inch length across different sizes. Reading both before purchasing is the best way to make sure the coverage works for how you train.
Care instructions vary slightly between styles depending on the fabric — woven training shorts and sweat shorts are made from different materials, so follow the care label for best results. As a general rule, washing on a cool cycle and avoiding tumble drying is a good place to start.
All the shorts in this range are designed by Myprotein's in-house design team. Each style is developed with training function in mind, from the inseam length and waistband construction to fabric choice and fit — built to work in the gym, not just look good outside it.
