x-post truth--if I'm wearing shorts it's because it's hot as balls and my appearance is going to be taking a backseat to that fact.

short shorts are hip boys' cool coolness at the moment, it seems.

"hot as balls"
how short do shorts have to be to count as 'short shorts'

i dunno, i cant distinguish b/w 'short shorts' & 'shorts that are too short', i wouldnt wear any shorts that are at least knee length standing myself

i hope jhoshea doesnt mind me posting a pic of him & his gf
haha i was just gonna post that. they're definitely not all that absurd. a lot of the shorts i've seen are more structured in cut and fabric, and not as american apparel 70s throwback. they're just kind of short.

― herb tycoon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 11 August 2009 07:23 (fourteen years ago) link
daria is otm about plaid shorts. the only thing is that they look infinitely better than cargo shorts so i'll still rock plaid shorts from time to time
KNOW WHAT IS THE WORST? sooooo many (frat) dudes will wear plaid shorts WITH A HORIZONTALLY STRIPED POLO. shit makes me incensed

ha i saw some dad the other day wearing cargo shorts and i thought "ugh, that shit is still around?"

has the great american cargo shorts novel been written yet, if not why not

I bought a pair of cargo shorts at uniqlo because I needed shorts at the last minute. They're really not bad -- they have a slim line and the pockets don't stick out too much. I think the problem is not really cargo shorts so much as baggy cargo shorts.

im not strictly anti short but i do think many mens could benefit from investing in some lightweight summer pants

i don't own any cargo shorts, but i favor comfort over style always

i wear shorts if im in a chill state, i cant just wear them around like nothings going on, if i lived in a super hot place prob tho
― lag∞n, Thursday, 6 June 2013 15:19 (ten years ago) link
also for athletics
― lag∞n, Thursday, 6 June 2013 15:20 (ten years ago) link
needless to say
confort v style is obvs a false binary and is indicative of just not giving a shit, not the best mode in which to be
― lag∞n, Thursday, 6 June 2013 15:21 (ten years ago) link
just not giving a shit, or as i call it "early Bill Murray"

I liked the fact that in Tel Aviv everyone gets that it is hot as fuck and just drifts around in shorts, loose lightweight shirts and sandals, whereas in NYC you have to pretend it's not hot as balls even when it is.

goony i never said it was always either/or

Shorts are weekend attire in Miami. I tend not to wear them at night though unless I'm chilling at someone's place

i thought it was p lol when designers tried to 'bring back' cargo pants recently, any time spent irl would've shown them cargo pants/shorts never went away

Love 'em BUT they are ALREADY BAGGY, you don't need to also buy them TOO BIG FOR YOU.
Also they should end above the knee so we can see the bottom of your quad definition.
