The verdict
Fit
Fluid viscose drapes rather than structures, likely giving a loose, relaxed leg; true to size but expect softness over tailoring.
Quality
Viscose is lightweight and fluid but generally wrinkles and wears faster than denim or cotton — an inherent trait of the fiber, not a construction flaw.
Is the price fair?
At $100, this is accessible for the category, though viscose is a lower-durability fiber choice than Diesel's denim lines.
Best for
Someone wanting a lightweight, fluid-drape short for warm weather rather than a durable everyday piece.
Care
Hand wash or dry clean to avoid shrinkage and snagging typical of viscose.
What owners report about Diesel shorts
Trustpilot reviewers for the diesel.com storefront report recurring construction problems on Diesel's shorts and denim: one buyer specifically noted 'seams come away on shorts' after normal wear, and others describe sizing as inconsistent from one order to the next, needing multiple reorders to land on the right fit. Design-wise, reviewers consistently call out the line's hand-finished washes and hardware -- engraved rivets, embossed patches, metal logo trims -- as its most distinctive strength. The recurring complaint isn't initial fit or styling but durability: reviewers say the shorts don't hold up as long as the price would suggest.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently point to the hand-finished washes and hardware details -- engraved rivets, embossed leather patches, metal logo trims -- as the line's most distinctive strength.
- Watch out for
