I agree with most. Cargo shorts are what i own. Plain, plad or camo. Im a golfer but cant bring myself to wear polos. I believe Germ should put on his pink tank top and models some different shorts for us being he is our unofficial model.
I could really care less about what shorts a guy is wearing, my only area of concern is when someone sits down and you can see their nutsack through one leg. Those people should be dragged out and shot..
Never been a fan of shorts. They really have no place in what I do for work or for fun. Last time I wore a pair was in the 90's when we went to the lake for a weekend. The wife kept making fun of my very white, chicken legs. She kept saying I looked like a little school boy... then would laugh her arse off. I suppose the above the calf high, white socks didn't help when I first tried them on. Other then those couple humiliating days in the 90's... the sun has not seen my legs since the grade school days when we went swimming at the pool. Tim
What the hell is seersucker? I am all for the cargo pants myself especially when I am fishing due to the extra pockets.
I like cargo shorts, the pockets are great and handy while I am doing construction type work though I am not likely going to wear them out to dinner. I guess I am guilty of wearing jorts though I had never before heard of them (jean shorts). Cut offs are so "Southern", no problem with them either as long as they are not cut above a tan line. High water shorts, I can do without. I am not sure I have ever measured an inseam in my life so I will stay out of that one. As far as the plaid things go... Color coordinated with some appropriate footwear and they are fine, black ankle socks and dress shoes are completely out, as are sandals with socks, especially if you are one of those guys with patches of hair and bald spots all over your ash white legs. Either shave them the rest of the way and get a tan or cover them. IMO
Worse than the seersucker shorts are the seersucker dress suits people wear to church. They look like they cut the material off a cheap mattress and sewed them into their suit. Hideous... A lot of doctors wear them here in Montgomery.
Yes...seersucker, v-neck, patchy beard and/or mustache, PBR, usually equals hipster in the north. I still believe seersucker has its place, just not in combination with those other 3. I also believe each style of shorts have their place. While I do support the wear of cargo, it should never be in any formal situation. Cargo = casual. I've seen people show up at summer wedding receptions in cargo shorts. Plaid is okay with me, but not all plaid is created equal. I have a pair of camo cutoff cargo shorts. Before you pass out Hook, I wear them while fishing or doing housework. I know their place. Know your shorts, and know their roles.
No clue what jorts or seersuckers are. Cargo shorts, khaki or plaid, are the only acceptable shorts for a man. Period.
Knee length is too long. Shorts should be a good 3 inches above your knee while standing. Knee length shorts are either going to be A) too baggy (equals sloppy) or B) long and skinny (looks like capris).
When I see a dude with shorts 3 inches above his knee I automatically think I agree they can be too long, which is just as bad as too short, but above the knee just isn't where it's at. At least not where I'm at. Unless you're hanging out at a golf course clubhouse with a bunch of rich dudes drinking Arnold Palmers and debating S class Mercedes versus M class BMWs those seersuckers just don't work. Sorry Hooker. You're the minority here.
