New news, new thread. DONT CENSOR ME MODS!!!

http://www.wsj.com/articles/nice-ca...g-on-the-sofa-1470082856?curator=FashionREDEF

Relationships around the country are being tested by cargo shorts, loosely cut shorts with large pockets sewn onto the sides. Men who love them say they’re comfortable and practical for summer. Detractors​ say they’ve been out of style for years, deriding them as bulky, uncool and just flat-out ugly.

Mr. Hansen’s wife, Ashleigh Hansen, said she sneaks her husband’s cargo shorts off to Goodwill when he’s not around. Mrs. Hansen, 30, no longer throws them out at home because her husband has found them in the trash and fished them out.

“I despise them,” she said. “There were so many good things about the ’90s. Cargo shorts were not one of them.”

industry for more than 15 years, including at Ralph Lauren and J. Crew, said he has never felt comfortable wearing cargo shorts because they “don’t look cool enough.”

“Men want to be like James Bond,” Mr. Haglin said. “Bond never wears cargo shorts.”

A more telling anecdote:

“Every time I put them on, I am conscious of the fact that I am now being disobedient in my marriage,” he said.

Is this shaming acceptable or healthy, a necessary part of growing in a relationship? Or another indicator that the war on men is real?

Different article and content bro, I PLAY BY THE RULES 🇺🇸

 

[bjork]

I like shorts they're comfy and easy to wear

Slow news day when WSJ is talking about cargo shorts.

 

[Mechanized]

How can someone make it through life being so vapid. Jesus.

 

[Fat4all]

I don't think I own a single pair of shorts.

I have a fantasy of wearing them on a pleasent beach, tho.

I thought this article would be raising concern over the makeshift bomb components they could be concealing in all those pouches.

 

[Zaph]

There is never an appropriate use for cargo shorts.

 

[KHlover]

Cargo trousers are love. Wallet, keys, smartphone, pens and a small notebook all in the front pockets. I'd need to buy a purse if I went back to regular trousers. One can never have enough pockets.

 

[Makonero]

If women want to wear high-waisted shorts that look awful, men can wear shorts that women think look awful. Awful shorts for everyone!

Fixed that for you.

 

[Jonnax]

It's amazing how judgemental some people are.

 

[jiggle]

Wardrobe staple here to stay

I wish my cargo pockets were secretly Bags of Holding ; (

The largest object I can fit is a 0.5l bottle in the lower pockets,usually.

“Men want to be like James Bond,” Mr. Haglin said. “Bond never wears cargo shorts.”

At no point have I wanted to be like a creepy rapist.

 

[highrider]

I'm a man. I don't want to be like James Bond.

Where do you live that has no summer? North of the wall?

I'm a tad landlocked, and even during the summer times I'm in a bit of a business environment :/

Can wear jeans a good bit, tho.

 

[KillerBEA]

I like cargo shorts, then again I don't care about fashion trends at all.

Sexy

Not so much

Not really. Major newspapers have style sections.

 

[twobear]

men at women who don't shave their armpits: "gross, ugly, shave it or else!"

same men when women @ them for cargo shorts: "don't be judgemental and shallow!"

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

You've gone off the deep mac this is past parody.

 

[liliththepale]

A purse seems so much more practical. You can set it down almost whenever you like, you don't have it on your knees, and you don't have to move all the stuff from one day to another.

Guys who need to carry stuff should start embracing the purse.

 

[tkscz]

They are comfy and useful and that's all they need to be. I think it's pretty dickish to throw out other peoples things (your SO or not) because you don't like them. They aren't meant for you to like (SO or not), but for the person wearing them to like.

 

[Fat4all]

Sexy

jesus, those shorts have no functionality at all

For me, sexy mostly means awful.

You work 24/7? Just amazed someone doesn't wear shorts. I love shorts. Probably wear them 8 months out the year.

I don't agree with this. Purses can become easily cumbersome and messy. Why look through a bag for one thing when you can just reach down into a pocket and grab what you're looking for?

Sexy

Those are hideous

 

[Chuckie]

Oh man haha. I had no idea these things were so universally hated

I have one and my wife detests it. She hasn't thrown it away though

 

[buy teh haloz]

who are you talking about

 

[thetrin]

I hate when girls wear formless dresses. You can't have it all.

At no point have I wanted to be like a creepy rapist.

Who the fuck in 2016 wants to be James Bond?

 

[Makonero]

I think we need a thread about women wearing ugly high-waisted mom shorts, just to be equal

feminism

 

[Fat4all]

just make sure you let the fupa breath

GAF kills me sometimes, no style.

Love me a girl in some high waisted booty shorts.

 

[kavanf1]

What constitutes cool shorts?

 

[SomedayTheFire]

cargo shorts are quite literally the worst thing in the world. the adolf hitler of clothes.

 

[Aselith]

Mrs Hansen seems a little crazy tbh. Those aren't your clothes.

Purses are awful. You have to carry it everywhere. Why would I willingly subject myself to that?

When I'm home it's underwear time

People who wear clothes at home are missing out.

but what about pockets :/

What constitutes cool shorts?

gotta write "cool dude" on them in sharpie

 

[SomedayTheFire]

but what about pockets :/

99% of women's clothes don't have pockets no matter what style they are. IF women were dumb enough to wear cargo shorts, clothes companies would probably put fake pockets on them.

but pockets are so useful

you can put things like gum and pogs in them

not disagreeing, and women feel the same but clothes companies don't offer pockets

 

[Deleted member 80556]

So this is the beginning of the end for GAF, isn't it?

First it.was whether to give a tip or not, then whether the tip should mutilated, and now this.

 

[ReaperXL7]

I've been married 11 years. My wife has never told me what to wear outside of the occasional situation where she'd like us to match some for formal events.

If your wife/husband becomes your parent than that's on you for letting yourself be in that situation.

 

[Huff]

What constitutes cool shorts?

 

[Fat4all]

not disagreeing, and women feel the same but clothes companies don't offer pockets

now that's a shame

they should account for both fashion and functionality
