The verdict
Fit
Short fit varies; refer to Ted Baker size guide and customer reviews for actual inseam length since shorts sizing is inconsistent across brands.
Quality
Standard Ted Baker quality; seams and fabric handfeel are competent but not distinctive.
Is the price fair?
At 145 USD discounted, this is more reasonable than Ted Baker's full retail, but still priced above peers for the same construction level.
Best for
Brand-conscious buyers who caught a sale and want a coordinated short from a recognizable designer.
Care
Follow Ted Baker care instructions; most blends require cool water and flat dry.
Fit check: Ted Baker
Varies by lineTed Baker's menswear tops run small and slim — owners consistently size up — while women's numbered pieces skew generous, with bottoms the most likely to run big.
Owners agree the menswear shirts and polos cut slim and small: forum posters call the shirts "on the small side and quite a slim waist," and a golf reviewer who normally wears a medium found a Ted Baker large (size 4) "perfect." The women's side is less uniform: one long-term buyer says the numbered sizing is "on the generous side" (a 3 wearing like a UK 12/14), while forum threads split — tops reported small, trousers and skirts reported big, jackets and dresses roughly true to size. The brand's own 0–7 numeric scales add friction, so checking the per-item conversion chart matters more here than with most brands.
Sizing advice: Size up one in men's shirts, polos, and tees (the cut is slim and small); on women's pieces stay true to size for dresses and jackets but consider a size down in trousers, skirts, and knits.

What owners report about Ted Baker shorts
Almost no third-party coverage addresses Ted Baker's shorts specifically; what owners report is about the clothing range as a whole. Longtime buyers describe "beautifully made, quality clothes," but reviewers of the relaunched, online-only operation report "the same fairly high prices, but the quality is *vastly* lower." Recent owner complaints cluster around items arriving in poor condition and slow customer-service responses rather than any single garment type failing.
- Strengths
- Long-standing customers still report well-made clothing when orders arrive as described.
- Watch out for
- Post-relaunch reviewers report quality below the brand's old standard at unchanged prices, alongside recurring fulfillment problems — items arriving in poor condition and unresponsive customer service.
