Fashion Men in Shorts, Yes… But What Kind?
Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 12:15 PM
Over on MOD, Mercury fashion blogger Brett Glass has been bringing up the pertinent issue of men in shorts. See his argument in defense of short shorts on men here, and a word on long and lean versions here. It also so happens that Wm Steven Humphrey, who is an avid shorts-wearer, brought up the issue of cargo shorts this morning, expressing a strong distaste for them because of their common association with the frat boy "aesthetic." I agree, with the caveat that rugged army pants (or something similarly non-mall-ish) cut off on the right sort of guy is hot. Whaddaya say?
(I was looking for a photo of what I mean about the cargo shorts, but I accidentally found something even better.)
