"i don't own topsiders and generally assume that only frat boys wear them...but truthfully, they're probably comfortable as noted, they are one of the few shoes that go pretty well with shorts if you're okay with the overall look""

not every leather shoe with shorts is a topsider

and other shoes work a lot better than topsiders for most situations

you're a classless redneck if you wear cargo shorts to a business meeting

i only wear daisy duke shorts to business meetings, and bowties, cause when i wear shorts, i'm worried about being professional

4/11/2013 9:05:24 PM

real adults don't wear any shorts to work

4/11/2013 9:06:29 PM

every opinion TT has is correct

4/11/2013 9:06:37 PM

real adults dont wear shorts period, shorts are for children

try being a grown-up instead of wearing your nut huggers and being high and mighty that they only have 4 pockets

"short pants" has been an insult for decades

there's a reason for that

4/28/2013 11:47:51 PM

lol

watching that commercial as if its a real commercial and not a parody is like taking leslie nielsen seriously

cant believe they're supposed to be the good alternative to cargo shorts

It wasn't until after the video was over that I remembered they played volleyball in top gun, so they couldn't have just inserted the video from that movie for the sports scene.

Agreed, jorts are for rednecks and cargo pants are for basement dwelling autistics. There are two types of acceptable shorts: gym shorts (for gym and lounging around the house) and swim trunks.

I'm a real adult and I'm wearing shorts at my real job today. It's going to be near 80 degrees this afternoon and that is pretty sweltering for coastal Northern CA, and most places don't have A/C

the fashion bigots in this thread really amuse me. you wear cargo shorts to hike in or do yard work or skate or walk around downtown on a Saturday ? then you're a fucking basement dwelling retard!

4/29/2013 1:02:56 PM

I wear men's cargo shorts when I am running a lot of errands, doing some planting, or going to theme parks or something.

I also sometimes wear them on a casual evening out. No big deal. They're just clothes.

4/29/2013 1:08:10 PM

pshoes still has one of my favorite comments in this thread

Hey, I'm sure it looks great with your funny graphic tee you got from thinkgeek.com tucked in with no belt and tevas with way too many straps. I'm sure no one laughs at you while you walk by.

4/29/2013 1:18:25 PM

we made my buddy throw out his A&F camo cargo shorts this weekend while we were moving him into his new place. it was like he was putting his dog to sleep

4/29/2013 1:18:34 PM

i do yard work in a 3-piece suit because i'm not some mongloid basement dweller, i'm a real man

I'm still laughing at this. Sounds like my dad and/or his best friend. Real men. hahahahahahaha

[Edited on April 29, 2013 at 1:32 PM. Reason : also, cargo shorts are ok with me. Just clothes. Just don't wear them to special occasions. ]

LOL good

4/29/2013 1:30:08 PM

I don't do yard work because I'm not poor.

4/29/2013 1:31:40 PM

lol, I like a man who can pull off cargo shorts

you sir, are a jackass for assuming i wear funny graphic tees or tevas with too many straps or even know what thinkgeek.com is. Please post of a pic of yourself, i want to see how metrosexual you really are (scared to get your hands dirty with yardwork)

Oh, you're more of a short sleeve button up kind of guy, figures. And I was giving you the benefit of the doubt on the sandals, I guess you wear tennis shoes which look even worse with shorts.

Kris wears saddle oxfords with his Chubbies shorts

4/29/2013 2:24:58 PM

i wore cargos when i was in high school and some in college, but now i pretty much stick to the j.crew khaki, grey, or any other neutral color shorts. love those.

4/29/2013 2:25:04 PM

pants

all day

every day

4/29/2013 2:39:25 PM

you wear pants even when you do manual labor when it's 100 degrees outside?

oh yeah, you give the mexicans a few dollars for that.

4/29/2013 2:47:53 PM

the last time someone got a handjob in cargo shorts was nam?

4/29/2013 2:49:24 PM

What's wrong with paying someone to do yard work? I'm not following this argument.

4/29/2013 2:50:46 PM

Correct, I don't do manual labor, that's for poor people.

Do I get hot sometimes? Sure. Do I complain about it? No. It's like complaining about wearing a tie when you dress up, yes it stinks sometimes, but it's part of being a man.

You sound like a total man. Real mean really think that fashion is an important concept. Manly men.

4/29/2013 2:54:08 PM

I like to laugh at guys doing yardwork in shorts while I sip my appletini in my skinny jeans

4/29/2013 2:55:01 PM

Why is anyone at all surprised by Kris' attitude in the thread? Have you read anything at all he posts in TSB?

His worldview is one of the most painfully obvious of anyone on TWW.

4/29/2013 2:57:10 PM

I'm sure you like to laugh at jorts, it's the same thing.

4/29/2013 2:57:33 PM

and skinny jeans are the same as leotards.

What the hell is a Kris?

you're thinking of chacos...these are what mine look like:

4/29/2013 3:46:55 PM

I will forever hold this mental image I have of Kris now.

The non-business major who always overdressed for class.

"I'm wearing a tie, I got a bowlcut, these pleated pants conceal my mp3 player loaded with One Republic."

Carries 8 books in a bookbag larger than his torso. Sprints to each class.

4/29/2013 5:56:49 PM

My gf wears chacos more often than not, and she thinks they are acceptable to wear with nicer things

I really want to find her some nice sandals.

There is a difference between style and fashion. Kris is taking it a bit too far (I didn't realize Tom Ford posts in here).

A real man cares about what women think/want and how others see them

Plus, ZZ Top never wrote a song about men who dress like shit.
