I clicked through every page of this thread.

TWW,
I AM DISAPPOINT.

It doesn't matter what I wear, I look good in all of it. That said, I wear shorts to work and they're exclusively cargos. I have a huge ass rendering back pockets useless and always have my phone, wallet, keys (think janitor ring), thumb drive, gum, and leatherman. If I found a decent tool belt, I might just wear that every day and it'd be fashionable as fuck, because I'd be wearing it.

the neuroses some of you possess about your appearances are grade A first world probs

[Edited on August 9, 2011 at 9:17 AM. Reason : ^not a huge fan of the suit, but that belt is pretty slick]

Quote :
"For the cargo shorts advocates:
I bet a lot of you have braided belts and several pairs of white crew socks in your closet. I'd also bet that most of you have one pair of "dress" shoes that is presumably black with a square toe or have obnoxiously large rubber soles. You also probably think Van Heusen makes quality dress shirts, and that your one or two horrible ties are adequate. You think khakis are dress pants. You don't know your jacket size. "


So you have some data to back up your claim:

Nay to the first sentence (solid leather belt and ankle high socks only). Had a braided belt that I often wore with a silk shirt and black jeans...in 1991. Yes to the shoes, don't own a Van Heusen shirt but probably have several "dress" shirts that I'm sure you would consider of even lesser quality than Van Heusen. Own at least a dozen ties, have worn 2 of them in 2011 on 3 occasions. I have actual dress pants as well as khakis. Don't know my jacket size because the last jacket I bought was several years ago when I was 30 pounds heavier.

Last office job I had was at a tech company where I wore shorts, sandals (or sneakers), jeans, and t-shirts to work every day. I work from home now and still dress the same way. Don't see a need to buy a bunch of expensive clothes to impress people I never see and don't care about anyway.

Not sure why any of this matters. All these "stylish" model photos posted in this thread look lame / girly / uncomfortable to me. But that's my opinion, if those guys are happy with their clothes then that's cool with me.

Synopsis of this thread: People are different! People like different things! Let's all make fun of people who don't wear clothes like me!

I kind of see how displaying the pockets in general does not lead to a particularly attractive design. Like the one above where the main pockets have an outline showing.... yeah...

I was assuming we were talking about cotton khaki type cargo shorts, and not nylon shorts that you would be using backpacking. I have plenty of nylon shorts for outdoor stuff that have cargo pockets. I like those because you can zip the cargo pockets up

I don't have white crew socks, I only wear low-cut/no-show socks w/ casual sneakers b/c I'm not a jorts wearing redneck.

I do wear ankle socks for running/athletics to prevent chafing and I have some blck crew socks (non-drss) for basketball for the same reason.

I'm fairly certain I still dress like a teenager and that repairing my wardrobe would cost a small fortune.

Same. I blame my parents. Not having to dress up when I was a kid going to church (or really any other time) negatively impacted my adult casual wardrobe.

^^^black shoes = black socks

and wear whatever the fuck you want when exercising, first rule there is comfort

also wear whatever you want in general, but just like everyone's mother said, clothes make the man. What you wear gives a certain first imprssion.

I have buddies that wear white crew socks w/ jeans or shorts, and they are still cool people, they just look kinda goofy at times.

Arab13 is wearing a pair right now. In fact most of his shorts are cargo pants. I really don't understand all the hate, cause I guess I don't care.

But then.... my father still wears teva sandals with black dress socks pulled up past his ankles. I bought him a pair of normal khakis and light light yellow shorts from McKenzie Tribe in North Hills yesterday, so he should be ok for a while. Also he always wears polo's or those Columbia shirts with the flap in the back. In fact three years ago, I bought him three teal ones b/c that is all about he will wear.

To be fair, Ronny has a hard time finding any shorts that don't hit his knee or lower. Well except for these:


Most of my khaki shorts have at least 1 cargo pocket. Not really by choice though. Nor do I particularly care one way or the other about cargo shorts. To me they are just shorts.

A lot of the kids in the neighborhood seem to be pulling up their socks, black and white (socks), up as far as they will go. The next logical step is for them to wear sandals/crocs/slippers with them and the old man cycle of fashion will be complete.

Kids growing up used to have high socks and would fold them down so they looked like ankle socks

Always thought that was the dumbest thing ever

you probably used to pull your high socks all the way up, then roll them down to your ankles so you had big cotton sock rings at your ankles

I think I was sort of out of it. partially delirious.

I do remember I focused intensely on my table and stuff just to stay alert.


but yeah about this topic cargo shorts really depend on how the guy wears them etc.

Cargo capris are absolutely hideous and anyone who wear them should be shunned

I just flew the red-eye to San Francisco. Nothing but Cargo Shorts/Hoodies on the flight.

I bet there is more net worth in one block where I'm staying then all of Raleigh, and most of them wear hoodies and cargo shorts
