Loose-fitting cargo shorts with multiple pockets and relaxed cuts for maximum skating mobility during hot sessions.
Cargo shorts deliver the ultimate combination of practical utility and unrestricted movement that's essential for Richmond's sweltering summer sessions. Venue's collection focuses exclusively on baggy, relaxed fits from brands with authentic skate credentials. Carhartt WIP brings their workwear durability to skateboarding with reinforced ripstop constructions that withstand repeated falls on rough concrete at the Manchester DIY. Dickies' iconic cargo work shorts provide that classic loose silhouette that's been skateboarding's warm-weather go-to since the 90s, with enough room for proper mobility without excess material to interfere with your flip tricks. Polar offers their distinctive European take with roomier thigh cuts perfect for technical skating at downtown street spots. The strategic pocket placement throughout these shorts provides genuine functionality – deep side cargos that actually secure your phone during high-impact slams, stash pockets for session essentials, and reinforced front pockets that won't blow out when carrying your tools between spots. Unlike fashion-driven alternatives, these are purpose-built shorts with proper length to protect from grip tape while allowing maximum ventilation during Virginia's humidity. The current baggy cargo resurgence isn't trend-chasing – it's skateboarding returning to what actually works after the restrictive skinny trend finally faded. Whether you're filming lines at Texas Beach or sessioning downtown ledges, these loose-fitting cargo shorts deliver the perfect balance of utility, comfort, and contemporary skate aesthetics.
