Just in case you have to register, here's a screen cap of the dorks...er, models.

Is that first guy purposely trying to look at awkward as possible?
 
Not going to happen anytime soon where I work, but I would love to be able to work in lighter gear... just not the kind of the first 2 pics, the third one is barely tollerable imo.

If I got to wear shorts it would be more casual with just a t-shirt, since I usually wear very casual stuff at work anyway (all my co-workers wear shirts to work, but no ties exept my boss).

Even Angus Young looks idiotic in them. Even though he would be the most accepted in that shit out of anyone on Earth, still looks like shit.

I would fire anyone who came in wearing that shit. on the spot.
 
I wouldn't wear it... but I dunno. If done right, it could be okay?

Those guys look like pricks no matter what they're wearing, but some people can make anything look good. The middle guys outfit might work, if the shorts were longer and he tried on some lotion. Dude on the left looks like he just got twisted up the ass by PeeWHerman. Guy on the right standing by the graffiti wall better hurry up and keep walking. Get out of the hood before you get jacked.

LOL.

I've seen this in person and it didn't look as awkward. I recall just thinking that it probably broke some cardinal rule about fashion but I wasn't sure which. It just seemed wrong for some reason. That said, you'd have to have some insane levels of confidence to wear that to a board meeting.
 
Also, just noticed the guy on the right works at J Crew and for some reason that reminded me of the MadTV sketch with the guys working at Abercrombie & Fitch
 
Shorts do not go with suit jackets and ties, thus the last guy looks the most natrual and fucking delicious.

The first guy looks like a man-child.

he's wearing shorts with a suit jacket...
Plus feet pointed in, slightly hunched over, thumbs in his pockets, looking off somewhere without turning his head...
