Shorts that terminate at, say, the top of the kneecap will give off a very conservative vibe. Furthermore, the key reason for wearing them — staying cool — is compromised by a too-long inseam. On the other end of the spectrum are shorts that expose more than the entire bottom half of your thighs. A good rule of thumb is that shorts should end approximately two inches above the top of the kneecap.
This tends to be a sweet spot for men who want true shorts, but not short shorts. Generally speaking, taller men can wear longer ones to greater effect than shorter men, and vice-versa. From an image and appearance standpoint, short inseam relative to a leg transmits a similar visual cue to jacket sleeve length relative to an arm. Good news: I've invented just such a thing. It's perfect.
It may be my legacy. You'll love it. Here's how it works:. Close your eyes. Wade into the swamp of your own body hangups and come back out having honestly considered how much you like your legs. Assign that love a number from 1 to 7, where 1 equals "my legs are too beautiful for pants," and 7 equals "I've had at least one calf-implant consultation. That is such a stupid Dbag look! If you do any of these and come to Huntington or Newport Beach.
Be prepared to be ran out of the area! I had to add one more thing…. Yet, you talk to everyone like you procured this style yourself. You look like every snob in the pictures you posted. What is with the picture of you galloping around in the field???
Just saying dude. Only thing missing is the bottle of Perrier water and a Starbucks cup. I do like some Starbucks, though. Whether you like to show them knees or cover them, it seems hard to find either option out there!! Try finding places that tell you an honest inseam number. Get a pair of shorts my waist and inseam size and they are all well below my knees.
So pay 40 to 80 for a pair of shorts that never fit and then go pay more to get them hemmed. So great. You know what else?
Take your rules about cargo pockets and shove them where your fashion nose hole. Cargo shorts are easily the most comfortable and handy thing to wear in the summer. End up using three fingers to dig down in and pull out my phone or change.
I would absolutely love it if someone could point out a SHORT and by these days standards FAT guy yes Short and Fat store where I can get a 38 inch waste and a 9 inch inseam and have shorts that still land just right above the knee.
But it will apparently never happen. We are in no mans land. The Inseam measurement is also such a terrible measurement for the leg length of shorts. You are measuring from waist to crotch and leaving out a measurement from the crotch down to the knee. Give us a measurement from waist down to the bottom of shorts leg. Then an inseam, and waist number. All in inches or cm for you metric folks. Enough of this large and x large or xx large and then children sizes and women sizes and wtf is wrong with you people?
The really sad part is that I could stand to lose some weight and waist inches to get back down to a 34 waist and I would be happy. Adding your fashion faux pas of the current year further just wants to make me gag. We need you types of people to just leave the industry so we can correct all your wrongs.
Brock is right! It would cut out the balance between your thighs and calves. Usually people with slimmer calves have thicker thighs to balance them out. How do they look? You look great! I agree that this look might not suit everyone but lay off the author, this is how shorts should fit by the general consensus.
Also, there is an actual science to having shorter shorts look up the rule of thirds, and yes you can interpret it the otherway around but shorts that go past your knees look more like tacky half pants. Yeah, I have no idea why this topic generates so much hate and trolling. Very weird. But I agree that trimmer shorts are more aesthetically pleasing and masculine than long, baggy shorts. So, I called J.
Crew and the Reade and Stanton lines are sold out. I look at the pictures of you in your shorts and that is the look I want. I measured a pair of Gap skinny jeans very happy with them. I measured the width of the legs. I have a pair of shorts that measure inches in circumference. Any suggestions? Do I have to go to the teenage department in the clothing stores? They also have a bit of stretch in them and are very durable. Usually, you can get them on sale for a good discount. I wear cargo shorts and Dockers style pleated ones.
I like deeper pockets and a heavier weight fabric. Shorts usually reach my knees or just above. And, as a retired teacher, I would like to report most of you semiliterate millenials to the English language police!
Secondly, losing 80 pounds would probably help you stay cooler as well. I cannot imagine another 80lbs on my frame…. I live in SEA, and right now the summer days are oppressively hot. On top of that, status is HUGE here, and how you dress conveys how people perceive you. Dressing nice can mean the difference between being seen as a salty old drunkard or a polished professional whose going places.
Normally I default to wearing longer pants since shorts are seen as kinda trashy. Now I can wear shorts in the heat again. Whose gonna hate on a guy wearing a fitted polo, nice watch, tapered shorts, and boat shoes do you even yacht bro? I mean, besides crazy internet trolls of course. Just look at the pictures! The guys you put the cross on, look good. The other guys look like their moms just droped them of at soccer practice. Do you also prefer short sleeves below the elbow?
This is just stupid! Just look at the stupid figures in those fotos, do they look like gown man to you? We are conditioned to think just a bit of exposed skin in infantilizing. Each of us is usually our own worst critic. We also worry more about what others think about us than we worry what we think of ourselves.
You have to be true to yourself before anything else. If that means you wear the shortest shorts you can find, like I do, or you never wear shorts at all, make yourself happy first and foremost.

Sad thing when a woman can wear short shorts and nobody dare say a word but if a guy shows some skin, the world stops spinning. Wow, I wish I had your confidence. I HAVE to wear compression stockings full length for circulation problems and have not worn shorts for years because of them. Men should be wearing loose modest shorts that go below the knees so your man parts can breathe and not be exposed when you sit down.
Do you also wear short sleeve shirts where the sleeves go to the middle of your forearm, or do they stop above the elbow? Trouble is that Old Navy never carried them after the one season. I look every year with disappointment. I have googled every part of the tag on these shorts with no luck.
I like running shorts with their 2 or 3 inch inseam. The Izod Saltwater Stretch Shorts fit nice too. I have the same problems with shorts as you, and like you, the American Eagle Slims fit me best.
Sonoma Flex Fits. Perfect for my body type. Thanks for the informative video! Looking for some advice on wearing crew height socks with shorts. I liked what you said in the GQ myth article about how obsessed people are with bare ankles these days. Still, I feel like I never see anyone wearing anything but no show socks with shorts these days. Is it that bad of a thing to do? Hey Brock! Have you tried hemming your slim pants to shorts?
Is the cost the same as a simple pants hemming? What would it look like? They need to be at least to the knee, anything shorter looks ugly as sin. Not sure what the difference is between male and female legs in general, but if Mancapris are your style, more power to ya!
Ill-fitting would be my initial reaction. Good analogy, R. Google Image douchebag shorts. Now that time has passed and real shorts are making their way back, I was going to order some, but my health got in the way. I have deep vein insufficiency and have to wear waist length compression hosiery.
I just started wearing shorts again this past year, As I grew more comfortable with my appearance, cycling and getting tan again, I went shorter and shorter.
I have quite a few pair of running shorts and wear them just about everywhere I can. As long as everything is covered, and it is in my case, why worry about what someone else wears. Reading the comments here goes with what I experience on the street, men are bothered way more than they should be by what other men wear.
I know at least some women like what they see, thankfully some even threw a compliment my way. Funny how a woman can have half her butt cheek hanging out and nobody says a word. A guy wears short running shorts and the world stops turning. Another thing I noticed is the overwhelming majority of responses here seem to be from other guys. What do the ladies think about the subject? If you like your shorts longer, go for it. I really agree, what problem do these people have?
I personally prefer them not too much above the knee and with a pair of good sandals, but more power if other people prefer or can pull them off higher!. I just came across this article to find some good tips for wearing shorts for short men.
I did own a pair of cargo shorts, but they are long gone from my wardrobe. Not only I do not like the designs, but they just look so baggy and long on me. I rock them out occasionally when I go out. I am now encouraged to work on my quads and maybe get a girl or two.
If you like cargo shorts, by all means wear them. Not me. I like these shorter shorts on me,. Just want to thank everyone part of this discussion; making my decision all the easier to burn all my shorts and lean on my linen pants for my holiday travel. Irony is, I look and feel great in my swimming trunks, which are quite short and fitted; probably several inchs mid-thigh above the knee. Like the Marley photo above. Something confusing happens when you mix the casualness of a short and a chino material, which I may add, looks tired after a couple washes.

So I had a pair of shorts exactly the right length and decided to pick out some nice Mossimo jeans and have them cut into shorts by a Tailor. The shorts had a longer crutch then the Jeans which meant that I ended up with 3 pair of Mossimo jeans all cut to the wrong length.
The Tailor refused to admitt any mistake saying all Tailors measure from the inside seam not the entire short length.
What the??????? Anyway, sounds as though the shorts are the Perfect length for you…. The Carhartts are great shorts, but so baggy that a slim guy like me is swimming in them.
