This was pretty similar to my teenage daughter's reasoning. She said it's better for Dad-aged men to wear cargo shorts (without the bulging leg pockets) because of the length than to wear non-cargo shorts that hang above your knees.
Cargo Shorts

People are aware you can buy non-cargo shorts with many different length inseams, right?
You're in denial. Embrace the cargo short life.
If I somehow slip into another dimension where I'm 16 again I'll consider it.
Yes, but finding them is more difficult. I've also found that 10.5" inseam cargo shorts hang lower than 10.5" inseam non-cargo shorts. Sure, I can wear them a little lower at the waist and that is fine for somebody like me with rock-hard abs but it doesn't look good on everybody.
Why do you need shorts to hang down past your knee? Isn't that called a capri? (women's clothing?)
They are also usefull if you and your friends wants to look like swat team members or high speed operatives. Then claim you were once part of Seal Team 6. Not seal team 2 though.
Shouldn't the labels on cargo shorts list their actual cargo capacity?
I always thought the older you got, the shorter your shorts got. (At least that’s the way it was back when I was growing up in the 90’s/00’s.)
Now it has changed to the younger boys wear shorter shorts and the dads wear cargo shorts below the knee??
For the record, regardless of age, I think the best length of shorts should hit at or just above the knee when standing. (Not below and not too short)

You are correct. I should say to the knee or just a bit above it.
On a man, you can refer to them as manpris and they are awful, even when Iron Man wears them.
Do I get pointed at and laughed at before or after I buy them?

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
Going to be easier to spot CF posters while tailgating this year after some insight from this thread. Find the guy with baggy ass cargo shorts to his shins with the pockets bulging with crap.
Aren't those cargo shorts without the pockets? I don't see any difference.
Socialists are probably into cargo shorts because of the increased utility.
