Is it also your sister's pants?
edit: And I think all shorts should be above the knee. Otherwise it's just short pants.

I mean no offense at all believe me but with the backdrop of your sisters room and those capri pants it looks like they belong to your sister.

Lol no, my sister is five.
I just think shorts above the knee look like short shorts. Maybe ON the knee would be a good middleground.
None taken I could see how you got that lol
But no they're skinnies I had from a couple of years ago that are a little too skinny on my lower legs now.

I tend to pick up used pairs of skinnies in the spring exclusively for this purpose, that way I don't have to worry about cutting up my good jeans. Cheap Mondays are great for shorts because they're so elastic, and usually dirt cheap second hand -- the last few I bought were like $5 each in some pretty rad colors.
I think you'll be happier with them at or above the knee, yeah. Maybe cut them a little shorter, and leave enough material to roll once for the knee or twice for above so you can experiment with getting comfortable having them higher on the leg.
More miss than hit then. Sorry. I have quite a few friends who wear them as a symbol status, those cloths are expensive.
Girls on the other hand look (in my humble opinion) really good:
yeah but they're hot. they'd look good in anything.
*drool* @ that first girl though...
I actually like them. I see potential. Nice that you made these yourself.
I like capris on men. Though the sports style is best.

man a lot of yall like your jeans skinny as hell
Bros, if you are looking for prescription glasses and sunglasses, Warby Parker has some good stuff. I just a pair of Sibley's for $120 (which is a huge saving for quality prescription glasses).
U.S. citizens can have 5 pairs shipped to them for free to try and then you just pick the ones you want to buy.

Banana Republic is having a one-day 35% sale today, although the email I got had a barcode I had to print out, so maybe it's only for subscribers to their mailing list.

This should be the first point made in the next thread. Clothes don't mean anything if your body can't support it.
Was hoping for something my underwear wouldn't poke out of the bottom of.
Something close fitting that is at or just above the knee.

Pfft, what terrible advice. You should dress for the body you want. If you're fat and you want to be toned with a sixpack, then buy some Small t-shirts and will yourself into them. That's the formula for sartorial success.
But seriously, working out and getting in shape is one of the main drivers behind looking good in your clothes. I always see larger people wearing really baggy and airy clothes in an attempt to hide their size, but in reality it just makes you look disheveled and bland.

This baxter deodorant is way better than jack black pit boss. No more stained clothes.
Ordered over the phone from a factory store. Find some close outlets near you and call them to ask for a list of factory seconds in your size: http://www.allenedmonds.com/aeonline/AjaxStoreLocatorDisplayView?storeId=1
These were the Brooks [Brothers] Strand. Only difference from the regular one is the sole is partially rubber instead of all leather, but the guy said they can still be recrafted if you want. Otherwise, everything else is the same and still manufactured by AE in Wisconsin. I couldn't pass up $159 (+shipping/tax) for AE.
Edit: The kenilworth was def. on sale when they sent me the list in my size (11.5D).

cool, might have to look into that.
by sale I meant their latest online sale. but at the same time, $295 isn't that cray for a pair of simple laceups. I should stop being so thrifty hah.

So what's the best way to break in leather shoes? As I am finnnnnnaly grabbing the Sperry's this weekend I know the horror stories of massive blisters. The web says soak them overnight then wear wet?

nice man, I'd like to see a pic you took.

Best way to break them in is to wear them. If you are presoaking your shoes like unsanforized denim you are doing it wrong.

So just wear like 12 band-aids while wearing them? I don't want blisters so bad I literally can't walk in them...

Until I see those shoes in person I'm on #teamcg.
While we're on the topic of shoes, I seriously need to add to (read: start) my collection.
At work, basically anything goes, so I've been getting by with jeans, assorted sweaters, and my totally amazing Iron Rangers (not my picture):
Lately, normal workwear's been jeans/shorts (jeans: dark blue or tan; shorts: gray linen or dark blue with some fine striping), a logo tee or single-color polo (dark gray, light gray, and a wiiiiiiiide range of blues), and sandals/Converses.
Today's, for reference:
As far as wardrobe goes, lightweight colored gingham button-up shirts are in the works, but I really need some new shoes. I saw Deadly Cyclone's saga over the last few pages, but those Sperrys aren't really doing it for me.
Thoughts?

With summer here, though, I need more. For work and for fun. I have:
- one pair of Converse gray canvas Jack Purcells that haven't fit right since the second week I had 'em
- one pair of New Balance sneakers I haven't worn in ages
- one pair of decent, flat, tan sandals
- one pair of decently nice brown oxfords, but with a bigger medallion than giga's Strands
- one pair of shitty dark brown suede chukkas with the crepe sole coming off
