Need some preppy shoes to rock this summer with khakis and chubbies. Thinking of chacos, desert boots, rainbow flipflops, and possibly a non-mainstream pair of sperries.

What do you think NS

I just bought these http://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/shoes/sneakers/PRDOVR~17554/17554.jsp

And I was actually at the Rainbow factory/office in San Clemente on Monday.

I also don't see the utility? novelty? of chubbies. I'll stick with traditional khaki shorts.

I HAVE THESE! My favorite pair of shoes, possibly ever. The only down side is that they lead to very wet socks if you wear them in the rain.

the "above-the-knee" short is definitely in style for men right now, especially as a summer look. they're pretty comfortable and a lot more guys are now willing to wear pastel or colored shorts as opposed to a few years ago. also somewhat of a change from baggy cargo shorts and just straight khakis.

the worst is kids who wear chubbies and have no hair on their legs and are still maturing. its sad they look like litte wannabe douches. but they cant pull it off cus they have little kid legs. plus unless your grown and they fit you perfectly, you look FUCKING stupid.

i'd say baggy cargo shorts with nike calf socks, chuck t's, a wife beater and a snapback is way more douchey then shorts that fit above the knee

I agree that shorts should fit above the knee. But these are excessively above the knee, and the pastel colors are so douchey looking to me.

For sure. I am not willing to wear anything ~2 inches above my knee, because my legs aren't the most attractive things in the word, but I definitely see the appeal. I found this great chart that might provide a visual reference to the discussion going on in this thread.

I agree with most of the points made, especially the one about plaid and cargo shorts. Bleh.
I recently picked up a few pairs of Chino shorts at Old Navy for 15 bucks each! I'd rather pay that price than $300 for a pair of Orlebar Browns that look and feel the same. I now some of you guys are still stuck in the baggy cargo short phase, so I expect this infographic to be somewhat controversial, knowing NS.

If anybody wants the link to the Old Navy shorts, it's here: http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=45495&vid=1&pid=329273042
They update the colors pretty frequently. Green was not displayed earlier today, now it is. I got a salmon colored one that looks great. They look much better in person than they do in the pictures.

Is there an Asian version of white trash? Yellow trash? Wearing basketball shorts as every day clothing would certainly put you in that category. You probably wear sandals with socks too, don't you?

As I often see douches wearing those colours, I associate those colours on those shorts with douchebags.

Every single retarded inbred hick at my school (trust me there are a lot of them) wears flannels. So by your logic everyone who wears flannels in a retarded inbred hick.

I'm not saying you have to, I'm saying when I see a guy wearing short pastel shorts, I think he looks like a douchebag.

I feel like the perfect size on that chart is a little too short and the longest is just about an inch longer than perfect

For me you can only wear shorts if you are sailing or if your age is represented by a single digit in Arabic numerals.

If you knew anything about that book, you would know that Patrick wears high fashion clothing as do I. Therefore, sit the fuck down.

If this is the the guide that you base your style off of, I would judge you.
Negatively.

Also, if your legs look like that, go to a gym, that's gross.
