What's the problem with cargo shorts?

Are they the cargo shorts that are oversized and hang off your butt and go all the way to your ankles? Those are trash.

Are they functional ones like for hiking?

Personally, I like the Wrangler Performance Shorts (kind of like these) and I don't care what people think.

Yeah, I see nothing wrong with these. I don’t think this is the style most are criticizing.
 
Dont know if they count, but I have a pair of carhartt flex and prana hiking pants with extra side pockets and they are both some of the most comfortable, durable, and functional pants Ive ever had. Im man, Im 40 and past the point of gaf. Eff the haters.

i have no opinion on cargo shorts but i'm alarmed by the new trend of pockets in women's yoga shorts/tights. unsightly bulges have begun to appear on the sides (of thighs) as women cram phones, wallets and whatever. i fear that this summer might be less glorious than in the past...

I've noticed this also. It does seem like an odd combination for sure. But in the end, the reason they exist is some sort of function is desired out of clothing. Yes, even yoga tights.
 
Cargo shorts are the best, only shorts I wear. Plenty of room for a can of Cope, keys, wallet, as mentioned previously all the items needed to walk the dogs. Very comfortable and no matter what people say, will never go out of style. What looks ridiculous is guys in their 40's plus walking around in the 7 inch inseam shorts!

People who find nothing wrong with cargo shorts most likely find nothing wrong with these as well.

You'd be surprised how many kids wear this style of sneaker yet today (I see hundreds of kids every day at work), although I admit I see them mostly with blue jeans.

Not the most popular choice any more, but kids still do wear them.

i know that but it's like the clothing manufacturers have added functionality for women at the expense of men.
 
We used to have a poster on Warchant who held the view that grown men should never wear shorts except to the gym.

I don't care what other dudes wear, but that is a policy I have for myself. I mean if grown dudes want to look like toddlers it is on them.

The no shorts thing started in childhood after running into poison ivy and nettles often enough.

I think maybe a lot of people just don't have nice walking jeans and swimming pants.
 
You know how I know your aren’t handy enough to fix anything in your house? You never wear cargo shorts. Grow a pair and learn how to sling a hammer you pansies. Cargo shorts are where it’s at for work in the summer.

Dude... 7” inseams are so last year.

2022 is all about the 5” inseams. When you look at the reputable fashion media outlets, they’re now saying shorts should sit around mid-thigh for men.

And if you pay attention to runway fashion… The huge trend is towards skirts and skorts for men.
 
So here is something I won't be Googling again "cargo short porn."
 
Never. Never to jorts. Never to pleated pants. Never to cuffs on dress pants. Never to baggy pants that are too long and gather at the shoe. Open to 3 button suit and sport coats, IF they come into style again.
