Beat the Heat with Durable Country Shorts

Surviving the heat requires gear that is breathable, comfortable, and tough enough to handle the outdoor lifestyle. Our collection of country shorts is built for everything from hard yakka in the shearing shed to cooling off in the creek on a Sunday afternoon. We stock a massive range of styles that combine practical durability with authentic country flair, from heavy-duty drill fabrics that protect you on the job to lightweight linens for a smart-casual lunch.

Hardworking Denim Shorts

Nothing says country style quite like a good pair of denim shorts. It is the fabric that built the West, known for its ability to withstand rough treatment and look better with every wash. Our denim shorts range covers all the bases, featuring rugged cuts for men that can handle a day in the ute, and stylish, flattering fits for women, including high-rise and mid-thigh options.

We look for denim with just the right amount of stretch, giving you the classic look of jeans with the freedom of movement you need to climb fences or hop on a bike or a quad. These are the wardrobe staples that you will reach for time and time again, pairing perfectly with a tee or a crisp button-up.

Casual & Smart Country Shorts

Sometimes you need to smarten up a bit without melting in the heat. Our casual shorts selection focuses on fabrics that breathe, such as premium linen and soft cotton blends. These are designed for those occasions when you need to look presentable - perhaps a family BBQ, a trip into town, or a casual dinner? - but you still want to feel relaxed.

You will find tailored shorts with comfort waistbands, classic chino styles, and lightweight options that offer a more refined silhouette than your standard work gear. Available in a variety of earth tones and seasonal colours, our casual range brings a touch of class to your summer wardrobe.

All About the Board Life

Board life in Australia revolves around the water, and no summer kit is complete without a reliable pair of boardies. Our board shorts range is designed for action, featuring quick-drying fabrics that let you transition from a swim in the river to a BBQ lunch without needing a change.

We stock styles with secure pockets for your keys, comfortable drawstrings, and bold prints that celebrate the outdoor lifestyle. From iconic prints to classic stripes and solid colours, these shorts are made for movement, whether you are behind a boat, on the sand, or just mowing the lawn on a hot day.

Country Shorts for Him and Her

We believe in kitting out the whole crew. To make finding your perfect fit easier, we have dedicated ranges specifically tailored for men and women. Our men's section is packed with heavy-duty work shorts, relaxed ruggers, board shorts, and tailored walk shorts, while our women's collection features everything from ruggers and stylish denim with decorative embroidery to linen and functional work shorts designed for a woman's shape.

Men's Country Shorts: Rugged, practical, and built for work or play.

Frequently asked questions

Allingtons stocks a range of country shorts for both men and women, including classic casual shorts, work shorts, cargo-style shorts with extra pockets, and stretch shorts for flexibility and comfort. Brands like Thomas Cook, Ariat, Ringers Western, and FXD all offer tough shorts designed for the country lifestyle.

For work, a mid-thigh to just-above-the-knee length is standard - it allows freedom of movement while still providing some leg coverage. For casual wear, personal preference plays a bigger role. Most men favour an above-the-knee cut for a modern look, while women have more options ranging from short to mid-length. Check individual product descriptions for specific inseam measurements.

Lightweight cotton and cotton-canvas blends are the best choices for hot weather. They're breathable, tenacious, and comfortable for long days in the heat. Stretch fabrics with a small percentage of elastane are increasingly popular, offering flexibility and comfort during physical work without sacrificing toughness.

Yes, cargo-style shorts with extra pockets are available from several workwear brands stocked at Allingtons, including FXD, Hard Yakka, and CAT. These are ideal if you need to carry tools, phones, or other essentials while keeping your hands free.

Measure your waist at its natural point (usually just above the hip bone) and compare with the brand's sizing chart. Pay attention to whether the shorts have an elastic waist, belt loops, or a fixed waistband, as this affects how they'll sit. If you're between sizes, consider sizing up for a more relaxed fit.
