Are you looking for melange grey plus size shorts that have more style than plain grey basics? Discover the Particle “Varsity Panel” Edition in 230 GSM hosiery corduroy, made for men in sizes XL to 5XL (waist 34 to 52 inches). These relaxed-fit Bermuda shorts (half pants) are cut for bigger frames, not scaled up from slim patterns. Whether you search for big size shorts for men or plus size gym shorts for men, these are made to fit.
Why the Black Panel Design Works
This isn’t just a design choice; it’s a structural advantage.
- A Streamlined Vertical Line: The vertical black side panel breaks up the width of the leg and draws the eye up and down rather than side to side, which helps create a cleaner, more streamlined profile.
- Textured Depth: The body is made from Melange Ribbed Cord, which has a rich, grainy texture. Contrasted with the solid black panel, it gives the shorts a high-quality look that cheap prints can’t match.
- Durable Blend: Made from 80% cotton and 20% polyester, these shorts are built to last. The polyester helps the panel keep its colour and helps the inner thigh area resist wear from friction.
Engineered for Comfort & Style
- Above-the-Knee Fit: Cut to sit above the knee, so the fabric doesn’t catch on your knees when you sit or squat. Ideal for active use.
- Regular Fit (Relaxed Thigh): Extra room in the seat and thigh prevents bunching. You get structured coverage without a baggy “cargo short” look.
- Deep Side Pockets: Two spacious pockets set into the side seam, big enough for a phone and wallet.
- All-Day Wear: Perfect for morning walks, gym sessions or running errands. The hosiery corduroy is soft against the skin but thick enough to provide structure.

Care Instructions
Machine wash cold, inside out, and wash separately the first time so the black panel does not mark the grey body. Dry in shade and avoid high-heat drying to keep the fit and colour.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the design look like?
These shorts have a heathered melange grey body with a black vertical panel down the side, two grey stripes inside the panel, a black drawstring and a small black Particle logo on the thigh.
Are these melange grey Bermuda shorts or half pants?
They are both. In India, Bermuda shorts are also sold as half pants. These melange grey plus size Bermuda shorts with a black side panel are relaxed-fit half pants for men in sizes XL to 5XL (waist 34 to 52 inches).
What sizes are available?
These shorts come in XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL and 5XL for waists from 34 to 52 inches. For a 48 inch waist choose 4XL, and for a 50 to 52 inch waist choose 5XL.
What fabric are these melange grey plus size shorts made from?
They are made from 230 GSM hosiery corduroy, an 80% cotton and 20% polyester blend with a ribbed, heathered finish.
Are these shorts 100% cotton?
No. They are an 80% cotton / 20% polyester blend, which adds durability and helps the fabric resist wear. If you want pure cotton, our 190 GSM 100% cotton shorts are lighter and softer, and suit home wear and night wear.
Which size should I choose?
Measure your waist where you tie your shorts. XL fits 34-36 inches, 2XL fits 38-40 inches, 3XL fits 42-44 inches, 4XL fits 46-48 inches and 5XL fits 50-52 inches. If you are between sizes, size up.
How long are these shorts?
They end just above the knee, which gives free movement and stops the fabric catching on your knees when you sit or squat.
Can I wear these melange grey Bermuda shorts to the gym or for walks?
Yes. The elastic waistband with drawstring, deep pockets and structured fabric make them suitable for gym sessions, walks, travel and casual wear.
Can I return or exchange this item?
No. This is a final-sale item at our lowest direct-factory price, so returns and exchanges are not available. If you are unsure of your size, you can buy our returnable options on Amazon.
What is the difference between your 230 GSM and 190 GSM shorts?
The 230 GSM shorts are a heavier, more structured 80% cotton / 20% polyester hosiery corduroy, made for outdoor and casual wear. The 190 GSM shorts are lighter 100% cotton, made for home wear, loungewear and night wear.
Where are Particle shorts made?
