Now I don't mind a pair of long shorts - just below the knee - but cropped trousers do look a bit daft, especially with trainers.

i always think of paddy mcguinness circa max and paddy

LauriefairycakeeatsCupid · 03/05/2009 17:20

I don't like men in shorts wandering round town centres - think it's oversharing

shorts are for the beach only

brimfull · 03/05/2009 17:21

long knee length shorts look fine imo

Where is the line between shorts and cropped trousers? If we're talking mid calf to above ankle then I wholeheartedly agree. Ghastly.

brimfull · 03/05/2009 17:22

yes mid calf

LauriefairycakeeatsCupid · 03/05/2009 17:22

there's only a couple of inches in it then?

dh's cropped (pirate?) trousers are betwixt knee and calf

TheFallenMadonna · 03/05/2009 17:22

Ah, xpost. Yes, DH has moved onto knee length shorts now because he is old

well, all bets are off if you have weedy white ankles (hairless ) and a tattoo

then you should just be shot

MrsEricBana · 03/05/2009 17:33

Both of those links look ok to me but sadly my dh might not quite match up to those guys in the looks dept so may not be quite the thing for him - both are better than teeny shorts though! (where is Eric Bana when you need him?)

no way! What's the problem with pirate length???

Poor fuckers, can't they choose which length trousers they wear in the sunshine?

I've seen plenty of women who shouldn't wear them either, then.
