If you don't want some shorter shorts, some skate stores sell non-cargo khaki shorts that go down to the knee.

Dickies

That sounds OK. Why don't normal stores sell shorts like that?

And what's the generally accepted short length that looks good without being twee?

>>3710051
sounds pretty homo but will check out. Thanks.

>>3710054
Because shorters shorts are the fashion now, so if you go to most places like J Crew you won't find longer plain shorts. You could also try places like Kohls.

Wear board shorts OP

chino shorts or jean shorts just above the knee (or higher if you're comfortable with it and have thin legs). Jean shorts can look like shit, though, if you do it wrong.

I don't want long shorts exactly. It's just that I've seen some ridiculous stuff on /fa/. Just above the knee sounds OK.

>>3710064
Would probably look like shit on me.
I guess I need more store suggestions as I don't buy much clothing. A Sears nearby sells Dickies. How is Younkers? Or where else to look?

what? jeans and chinos?

What shorts are these?

Hoping these are trolls. Slim-fit above-the-knee shorts are hipster shit.

Get some at-the-knee shorts instead, just make sure they don't have cargo pockets.

>wearing shorts at the knee

uhhuhuhuhuhu

>Just above the knee sounds OK.
If you want to dress like a gay caricature, yeah.

>>3710086
but then no one can see my quads

>>3710085
At-the-knee =/= below-the-knee bro shorts.

3/10 because I'm replying.

If I buy khaki or chino, can I still wear black sneakers?

oh and what do you guys think about socks with shorts?

>>3710094

those look so goofy though bruh

These look fucking terrible. There's a balance between cargo shorts and hipster capris, Jesus.

>>3710100
What's the balance?

because

>>3710094
looks pretty bad IMO

>>3710099
Tucked in tee and sandals look weird, and it could fit a bit better, but the basic premise is the same.

Skintight, effiminate shorts look like shit, and are rarely pulled off. Unless you're some fashionista hipster (I mean that in the best way possible), something more conservative will suit your needs.

Take your pick.

If you seriously think that skin-tight hipster trash looks better, I have no words.

Come to think of it, there was a guy on the bus with shorter shorts and I was admirin' his aesthetics but kind of assumed he was gay. Why can't straight bros wear shorts to show of dem quads? ;_;

>>3710112

i dunno man. They look like midget pants rather than shorts
