Those of us who are comfortable in our own skin laugh at anyone who really gives a tin crap about what other people say are "in". I got laid in parachute pants with frikkin bandannas up and down the legs.....so dont even give me that crap about what you wear affecting your ability to get laid. If you gotta depend on your outerwear helping you get some...you need to improve your game.
Jorts are coming back into style these days. Usually its a form of long pair jeans that have been physically cut off by the owner.
Haven't you read GQ?? Your supposed to wear knickerbockers or breeches or Spoiler Hammer parachute pants[/img] Honestly, if your girlfriend told you not to wear those, then your probably better off asking her what you are supposed to wear...
I don't think the OP posted this thread in an attempt to facilitate getting more action. Social psychology and visual perception are pretty relevant to a guy needing biological/evolutionary reasons about why he should dress well in general. Whether it's a job interview, an informal dinner with your future in-laws, or a judge in a courtroom, how you dress yourself is an important factor in everyday social interactions. Now, if he should fuss over every change in fashion versus having a consistent style is a different issue. To the OP, if you're in your 20s, stick with any solid+neutral (maybe plaid) chino shorts that hit at or below the knee. As you get older, wearing slightly shorter shorts might be another option if you're into the classic all-American/New England yacht club look.
All this time, I've under the impression that all kinds of shorts are ok as long as they cover more than 90% of thighs for men and reveal more than 90% of thighs for women. Fashion statements be damned, but I really don't need to see your thigh hairs
