The Definitive Guide to Living in the Capital , Cairo , Egypt

One of the best parts of summer is that we finally get to take our favourite shorts out of their dusty drawer for three months of the year. But we find ourselves more often than not feeling as though we’ve worn the same pair or two over and over and feel our shorts game needs a bit of an upgrade. Luckily, there is no shortage of local brands that make splurge-worthy shorts, and here are five of them that we’re certain you’ll want to keep in mind while on the hunt.

In Your Shoe

In Your Shoe has become Egyptians’ go-to brand for almost anything, and shorts are no exception. They have a wide range of styles, the most popular of which is probably their sweatshorts – ideal for a workout or a day at home. However, their “flowy shorts” are not only extremely comfy, but they go with just about anything, making them perfect for the beach. Lastly, their denim shorts are the perfect blend of simple and stylish.

If you’re a follower of Be-Indie, you’ll notice how frequently they update their collections, which is arguably why they’re among Egyptians’ favourite local brands – you just can’t get enough of them. Their shorts come in all materials and styles, not just their famous denim! Their cotton and parachute shorts are perfect for a workout, a lazy day, or anything you might want a comfy pair of shorts for!

One of Egypt’s most unique local brands, Mamzi, produces shorts that are absolutely to die for. They come in the prettiest of colours and can very easily be dressed up or down, depending on your preference. Their sailor-reminiscent style is emblematic of the brand, and they go with everything.

Up-Fuse

Our favourite sustainable brand, Up-Fuse, is just as much worth a look for their shorts as they are for bags. Especially if you’re looking for sets, then you should be good to go. Most of their shorts come in colourful sets and can be paired with either a cheeky button-up or an adorable tank top.
