Cargo Shorts

If you're having a hard time transitioning out of cargo shorts, I imagine you're also still sporting a backwards, upside-down visor with frosted tips and that you also still have a crush on Topanga.

I always thought topanga was kind of weird looking. Older Stephanie Tanner and older Al from Step by Step we’re my TGIF crushes.
 
This is how I picture like 87% of people on CF.

but with more socks and sandals combo.
 
Apparently these are out of style now. What kind of shorts do I switched to wearing? I have a crap load of cargo shorts. Someone fill me in. I am older and need help.
These have been out of style for years. Picture the last time you heard DMB on the radio... that was the last day they were in style.

Easy to figure out. Head to a public place in shorts weather and see what they guys with hot chicks are wearing. That's what you wear. Or you just role with the cargo shorts.

I own probably 20 pairs of "golf shorts" and none look anything like what curt posted either. The functionality (breathability and forgiveness) is a much better perk than the looks.

It's interesting how things that were once "in" become "out"

Back in the 80's when pastel colors and popped collars (usually multiple) were in and the people that wore them probably look back at old pictures of themselves and say. "I don't know what I was thinking"

I also remember guys would wear short shorts with their boxers showing out of the bottom of the shorts. Not sure why that became in.

Outside of work I wear plain old Levis and t shirts and that's not going to change.

Im 44 years old. I was never that guy. I just hate shorts that are no lose. I am a fab 5 type guy. Like the big shorts. Cargo always worked. However, I had noticed lately a lot of kids making fun of Cargo shorts and I don't want to be the guy who is totally out of date. Which it's about 25 percent that are still cargo shorts on this site.

If they're not making fun of cargo shorts it'll be something else they're mocking. Wear what you want. I get the appeal of cargo shorts for carrying stuff. And I'll usually wear them when I golf because I like the extra pockets for carrying golf balls and tees, etc.

There you go. Find what works for you and stay with it.
 
The super baggy fit is more the issue than the extra pockets.

But LOL at people needing cargo pockets. What the hell are you guys carrying?
 
I'm in my mid 40's and not skinny, no use in trying to be trendy. I wear ankle high white socks, gray NB 990's, and cargo shorts when I'm outside. The cargo shorts have nice pockets for my big phone. If I'm going somewhere nice, I don't where shorts and don't wear tennis shoes.

I'm also bald and find facial hair uncomfortable.

I also think most tattoos look ridiculous.

Now get off my lawn
 
John Cena, Still wearing Jorts as of Last night btw. Why does he get to wear Jorts. He scored one of the twins. They must ignore them and be more interested in his money
