Only when the knees are covered.

Totally fine: if child or teenager

Not cool (to the ladies at least): if grown ass adult

The answer requires more depth.

Q1: Are you Doug De Muro?
A1: Yes -> Nothing you do will ever be cool.
A2: No -> Maybe, depending on whether your shirt matches or not.

If you live somewhere hot and muggy like the panhandle of florida, and you don't wear shorts. You will develop things you didn't know could grow on a human body. You will be a walking petri dish.

If you are a man and you want to wear shorts you have to look like you haven't been to a waxer in a while (both legs and chest) otherwise you look like a woman.

I won't be a teenager in like 3 months.

Shorts are so easy to wear! I'm too lazy to put on pants everyday.

Cool unless they are too short. I can't survive the hot Finnish summers without them.

They're half pants. Almost pants, but not quite.

I like guys in shorts. I was having this discussion with a girl friend of mine recently, actually. We were down in Santa Monica and there was a hot guy in workout shorts and his date was wearing an evening dress. LOL I love basketball shorts, especially. IDGAF

They are so much nicer. Much better ventilation.

One upside to getting married - we'll be able to wear shorts and not have to worry about impressing the ladies

KnowsAboutCars > Brian Silvestro 09/02/2014 at 16:35

I'd say if they are below knee they are at least 60% pants. And what other garment that you wear on your lower body has pockets?

Haha how funny. Well I guess I should have listed an exception: if the guy has toned and tanned calves then it's cool. But so few of us guys do...

No, it's not even that. I'm not even that interested in the legs. Basketball shorts are my kryptonite.

Who hoo! Now guys with skinny legs don't have to be as embarrassed. There is at least one girl out there who won't laugh at us, as long as we are wearing basketball shorts.

Slightly related, but does Doug have more than one outfit?

I can't figure out if he only has one shirt and pair of shorts (because he spent all his $$$ on his car), or if he has a closet with like 20 carbon copies of the same thing.

I'm currently lounging around in running shorts. So, basketball shorts with some thigh...

You might not be fine.

I'm not saying wear shorts to the Summit House (I know you know what that is), but if it's anything other than a fancy place... Why the hell not? It's soooooo hot!

The last time I wore shorts in public, a Lutheran elder asked me not to wear shorts anymore.

True story.

As many times as I've been in Fullerton, which is a lot, I've never been there. I was supposed to go once, but, that's a story for never. Lol

Yeah it was pretty crap

LOL. Now the story seems super interesting. But it's for never. Well don't feel super bad about not having eaten there. It's good, but not amazing. Only reason it's still around is because there is such a lack of fancy food in that area!

Shorts are very necessary for maintaining ventilation down there . Women get to wear skirts and dresses, which give tons of nether-regional air circulation, and this is appreciated and even encouraged, because women look good in skirts and dresses.

But we men, who have arguably a far greater need for nether-regional ventilation than women do, are stuck with either pants or shorts. Unless we either are a) Scottish or b) willing to be seen in public wearing a Utilikilt .

So in the summer time, it's hot out, I'm going for the most air circulation possible. And lots of Gold Bond medicated powder.

Haha. The story is uninteresting. The guy is/was a [bad word to describe male genitalia] The end. I love the Anaheim White House. I've been there quite a few times.

No, I don't think so. You should check it out. Take some pasta with you, because the owner feeds motel kids with donations and his charity. He is awesome. The restaurant is Italian (are you surprised, lol) and it's da bommmmmmmb!

Or a skort. I thought I was buying workout shorts at Goodwill, but they mistakenly put a workout skirt in the men's department. I didn't think to check if it was a skirt, because, well, why would I? And no, it wasn't a kilt.

It's surprising to see comments against adults donning shorts. Here in SoCal everyone wears them during warm weather. I guess this must be a regional thing.

White, single, males will buy clothes that all look roughly the same. This way we can just reach into the closet, grab the nearest piece of clothing and it will look broadly the same as what you had on already and wont require a change of any other piece of clothing to not look out of place. Everything will match in the degree a single, white, male has any sense of style.

Polo shirts and khaki shorts are pretty good choices, more upscale than my choice of dark-ish t-shirts and jeans.

Edit: I just remembered he's not single, which might explain the more upscale version of the "single, white, male-wardrobe".
