This thread is funny. I'm actually laughing quietly to myself at how much everyone in this thread would hate what I wear in the summer

This, minus the polo shirt. And as for cut-offs:

I love how people have the time on their hands to "hate" things like that.


I'll be too busy having fun not giving a fuck while you're sitting there dressing yourself to be "cool"

Man, i wear the fuck out of cargo shorts in the summer. I do wear some regular khaki shorts too but for going out it's all about cargo shorts for me. Everyone around here does actually. Of course, Maine is usually the last place that catches on to a trend so...

Aren't you too young to have been in on the JNCO trend? Unless you're from some backass place that's years behind everywhere else.

Totally worth the read. Excerpt:

"What could possibly be more flattering than looking like you were standing in two giant logo-emblazoned, hem-dragging overturned denim buckets? No one seemed to bat an eye over the fact that each pant leg could easily house a family of four. JNCO jeans epitomized the rise of the pseudo-"street" poseur movement so beloved by 1990s middle class white kids. Their idea of the mean streets may have been a lemonade stand that refused to accept credit cards, but they could rock a mean pair of ultra wide-leg jeans."

For real. I love my dickies shorts. They were dope for both work and summertime shenanigans. Fuck all you clothing hipsters. You can have your gay little daisy duke shorts that probably compress your crotch like all-hell.

Pants? Shorts? Why not the best of both worlds.

The ol' zip offs. Classy, yet practical....

Cargos are so fucking useful. Keeping your shit in your pockets = awesome. They don't look bad.

And bitches want my dick so idk where people are getting off that they suck. They see my cargo shorts and want to touch me.

Those were my shit kindergarten to about 3rd grade. A bit brisky in them summer mornings so it was perfect. Then recess rolls around and BOOM, unzip those things in front of some swoonin' ladies and you're ready to tear shit up in pick-up football.

Hands down the queerest argument against reasonable shorts and tight ski pants. They're not made of fucking spandex and you don't have a 16 inch cock. Not gonna compress shit.

If I had to guess you would blend in quite well with all the other pictures of the dick suckers on the previous page. But it's OK, you are still the man, bro. Don't worry.

Every style anybody has posted in this thread has been hated on. What the fuck do you all wear in the summer?
I personally like white/khaki shorts that come >half way down my kneecaps. I don't care where they're from but they aren't long enough to look like capris and short enough to give me perfect ventilation without exposing an uncomfortable amount of my thighs. Perfection.
I wear cargos on occasion because they're practical and comfortable, especially when I'm doing something outdoors. If people judge me because of the number of pockets on my pants then they can suck a chode.
