however, i'll abide them in certain climates
i don't want to be misconstrued, but idk what can you do? i'm being somewhat facetious with "abide", just so you don't think i'm hidebound or sniffy. i vacillate a little on this one, not wanting to be judgmental about other people's clothing choices, and recognising the suitability of certain styles on certain people above the age of say, 13, but also having a fairly old-fashioned take on the garment's general wear and appropriateness. i think i look fairly good in some shorts, too, but it doesn't mean i think it's apt to wear them in most situations.

xpost those are an example of shorts worn well, looking suitable, and iirc being worn for a specific leisurely purpose.

yeah might look a bit weird on.
they have the same print in a sweat shirt but i already have one crazy print sweatshirt and that's enough.
― ... (LocalGarda), Thursday, 6 June 2013 13:14 (ten years ago) link
i actually kind of dig pleats on shorts
― 乒乓, Thursday, 6 June 2013 13:39 (ten years ago) link
i don't think pleats are offensive, but pleats-as-a-concept are kind of in a place where they're either tragically uncool OR super fashion. i think we're overdue for wider, fuller proportions to return to menswear but for now pleated shorts still bring to mind elderly tourists with white socks pulled up.
― ⚓ (elmo argonaut), Thursday, 6 June 2013 14:05 (ten years ago) link
when you pleats that sort of flourescent floral print tho, it does look pretty fun
― ⚓ (elmo argonaut), Thursday, 6 June 2013 14:06 (ten years ago) link
i think a single pleat can look good on slim-cut pants, shorts, maybe? would fit into the whole cuffing trend

pleats will come and go, but flat fronts objectively look better

― ⚓ (elmo argonaut), Thursday, 6 June 2013 15:39 (ten years ago) link
yeah pleats are so gross, so are those generously cut billowy style oxfords that Brooks Brothers and the like sell (JUST WEAR SHIT THAT FITS, DUMBY)
― walk in the room they throwin Sade left to right (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 6 June 2013 15:40 (ten years ago) link
pleats can be cool but they also can get out of control real fast, sans pleats is def a safer approach
― lag∞n, Thursday, 6 June 2013 15:41 (ten years ago) link
so i guess leave pleats to the experts is prob the best approach
― lag∞n, Thursday, 6 June 2013 15:42 (ten years ago) link
i don't like pleats on regular cotton twill khakis because they just look stiff and wrinkly, but if you're talking about wool suit trousers where the fabric actually has a nice drape then pleats can look great
― ⚓ (elmo argonaut), Thursday, 6 June 2013 15:45 (ten years ago) link
i have a tweed suit w single pleats and you hardly even notice them especially w the jacket and all

Based on my observations of people hanging out in the sun today, I can report that FUN SHORTS haven't caught on in Cambridge yet. Was tempted to vanguard a pair of these, but the shop didn't have my size:
