plaid shorts

love that Junya Watanabe summer suit that Phil posted. surprised he hasn't pulled the trigger on it yet tbh!

the shorts debate has been done on ILX and I think it boiled down to people who live in colder more conservative areas typically frown upon them and people who live in liberal, warmer areas do not. ditto flip-flops.

And confectionary bras.

I do generally like the trend I have noticed of better fitting shorts. I feel like I see more well-dressed NYers wearing shorts this year than usual because of this.

this is otm - seeing fewer and fewer shorts breach the knee line which is good news for everyone, even if they are plaid

eh, not my style at all even beyond the fact they'd cost me half a week's pay

I wd never pay tht ($130) for a pair of shorts btw

i can't really imagine wearing shorts that fell above my knee tbh. i hate my bony-ass knees.

well I hate my pasty white fat thighs but that ain't stoppin me

think I need some tips on sock length & shorts. no-show? ankle length?

it's not really just myself, i guess, i don't really like the way above-the-knee shorts look on men. i probably shouldn't be posting on i love style.

i spent part of the summer wearing no-shows, then got tired of sweaty feet and started going sockless and was much happier thereafter

It's cool, The Reverend. Sometimes I Love Style needs its opinions challenged.

I wanna do that but I don't want to stink up my nice new shoes. thinking of getting shoe liners from a ladiezzzzz shop

i might even bite the bullet and get sandals next summer

i haven't worn sandals since i was, like, 8

yeah I dunno if I'm ready to welcome flip flops back into my closet yet

have never worn flipflops en mi vida

Well-fitting ones in traditional/monochromatic colors like the one Lamp posted paired with nice shoes and a polo shirt, classic.

Baggy ones with orange in the plaid and paired with Billabong t-shirts and flip-flops, dud dud dud! I can smell the waft of cheap cologne that comes with it just thinking about it.

I like shorts that fall above the knee tho, like this:

his whole look is kinda awesome though

i like plaid shorts sometimes

sometimes they look really good like really short

no way in hell are they worse than cargo shorts

the picture lamp posted was from like a japanese fashion book about the ivy league published in the 70s right? can't remember where I've seen it before

shorts are fine but t-shirt tucked into them - ugh son

yea that outfit is a little too intellectual for me ;)

they actually sit right at the hip and drop-crotch'y but i thought it would be a funny photo if i hiked em up real high and tuck in my tshirt, urkel style.
