So now shorts are just sloppy, period? You were on the first couple pages saying how you can wear shorts and still look dressed up.


Did you hear the whooshing sound as my point went over your head?


I was just asking you to confirm that you flip flopped your viewpoint in this thread. The only point you made was that now you think shorts are sloppy. Was there a hidden message that I missed?

I didn't change my viewpoint. You obviously missed something.

Not sure why you are getting so upset over a style of shorts some people choose to wear.

If you don't want to wear them, don't.

I see people wearing all kinds of different things, if that's what they want to wear, fine by me. The earth won't stop spinning that's for sure.

Did you not say that you can have a reasonably dressed up appearance in shorts?
Then did you not later on say that shorts are sloppy?

These are two different view points.

Eddies kinda a lib lunatic nowadays like Dave Grohl but that notwithstanding cargo shorts have always been okay. They come in handy if you have to work with a lot of tools and you can keep them separate.

No. Cargo shorts generally look sloppy.

Do you think that the standard array of 4 pockets (or sometimes 5 if you count the tiny one) on a regular pair of pants are the perfect number, size, and placement for storage?


for what I carry? absolutely

I carry my phone and keys with me, so what else do I need more pockets for?

The below statement applies to all shorts.

It's like pants with the lower leg portion cut off making an open hole to breath.

Right, which is what makes them so sloppy looking.


You do realize that for the most part cargo shorts are just regular shorts with some extra pockets added. Therefore, if the reason above about being breathable is why cargo shorts are sloppy, then regular shorts would be sloppy too.

No, they're not at all. At least not most of them. Most of them are longer hitting at or even a little below the knee. Most are also less narrowly tailored, which makes them baggy.

All of mine are above the knee.

Some are baggy, some are not.

It's okay if you don't wear them and others do.

Which is why I did not say all, although most that I have seen are.

You're really hung up on this. Of course it's "okay".

Sure, why not? I actually don't mind talking about fashion. I worked in the industry at one point and don't mind putting some thought into what I wear.

Knew you couldn't resist. Anyway, good for you. We all put thought into what we wear. Some more than others

This is secret plot by women to effiminate men. I go for comfort and utility. I don't give 2#@$#@ what the models in the ads wear. Skinny jeans that show off yer ankles are creepy (fer men). I do care just not that much

If that's all you're carrying and will carry, then you don't need any more pockets. But that's what we're talking about. More stuff.

You don't think it odd that, should you ever need to carry more stuff, you would skip right over the obvious solution of additional pockets and prefer to augment with an accessory?

So do I. Those are pretty subjective terms.
