Tradie work shorts

Tradies want pockets, durability and a fit that moves. For tools, a phone and a tape, choose a multi pocket cargo short such as the KingGee Tradies Utility Cargo Short K69870 or the DNC Duratex duck weave cargo shorts. For hot days on the tools, pick a lightweight cool-breeze or vented ripstop short.

Work shorts FAQs

What are workwear shorts?

Workwear shorts, also called work shorts or tradie shorts, are hard-wearing shorts built for the job, with reinforced fabric, extra pockets and a work fit. Browse men's, women's and unisex styles above.

What types of work shorts are available?

Cargo, drill, stretch, short shorts, ripstop, denim, elastic waist, utility and rugby style shorts.

What are cargo work shorts?

Shorts with extra pockets for tools, a phone and a tape. They are usually built from sturdier fabric for heavy work. Options include KingGee, Hard Yakka, Bisley, Syzmik and DNC.

Are stretch fabric options available?

Yes. 4 way stretch is very popular for freedom of movement. See the table above for stretch styles, colours and sizes.

Are KingGee shorts good quality?

KingGee shorts are well regarded and preferred by many tradies across Australia, and the brand is a top choice for short shorts.

What colours do work shorts come in?

The most popular are black, navy, khaki, stone and charcoal.

What are ripstop work shorts?

Ripstop shorts use a reinforced thread weave that stops a tear running through the fabric and keeps it small. It does not make the shorts tear-proof, but ripstop is very popular with tradies because it lasts longer.

Are work shorts available in women's fits?

Yes. Women's work shorts are available in black and navy, with some styles offering more colours. Sizes on most women's shorts range from 6 to 24.
