    After hearing the Style OG say that cargo shorts was a no go in a vid a couple of months back, I got rid of mines and got some regular well fitting shorts. Salute.

    I'm rocking the 9" inseam now, but I used to wear loose, baggy shorts almost every day. I'm glad I discovered your channel and a few others, now I know fit is king. #salute

    I am Athletic/Skinny @5'11" and I wear 8 inch shorts. Perfect cross between being short but not too short. At 7 inches you can start looking a little weird, especially if you are above 6ft.

    Discovered your channel this year and a big fan! Lots of comments about cargo shorts and I think people misunderstood you: they're great for working in the yard, hiking, amusement parks, kids' sporting events, etc....just leave them in the drawer if you want to go smart-casual or better!

    I'm 6'1" so the 10-11" inseam is for me. And I look for shorts that wick sweat away from me. I got a couple chinos that do that and a pair of Dickies shorts that do that as well. I will say though, having the extra side pocket comes in clutch more than I thought it would.

    Man O.G. you're right on time with this video. I never used to werar shorts but my wife wants me to incorporate them into my style and I was wondering how they supposed to fit.. perfect timing OG

  • @marx41mans
    @marx41mans Před 6 lety +2

    Literally just had this convo with my wife like an hour before i saw this video!
    My problem is im a 6'3", 190, still fit, 40yr old former track athlete....its so HARD to find anything that fits right!
    If i buy something for my true leg legnth, its going to be baggy, if i buy something with a more fitted and shorter leg legnth, its usually tight on my butt and maybe too high above my knee to where it may start to look corny.
    I dont know what to do anymore...i dont feel comfortable with my shorts game....i dont want to walk around looking like a giraffe in chinos!!!!
    I litterally never skipped a leg day or running sprints curcuits from 1997 to 2013 when i tore my 1st achilles (tore otherin in 2015)...my legs are actually a little bigger now than when I was a D1 track athlete working out and running everyday...if anything, never skipping leg day and working out actually kept my legs smaller.
    But now, todays style fits make me feel uncomfortable....and I feel like i look funny.
    -i am totally up for some brands of shorts that have the tall athletic guy in mind....and that you dont have to immediately take to get altered as soon as you get them out the store!

    I'm not a fan of the traditional cargo pants where it's khaki and the pockets are very pronounced. I just bought the three cargo shorts because I like the color and the pattern and the pockets are not protruding much. I'm going to have the length shortened to about 9 from 11 inches.

    Shorts are a tough topic / article of clothing to guide men on, thanks for taking on the challenge! I like my shorts to be just at the knee because I hate when they ride up when I sit. I also have to get them taken in, I only skip leg day every one in a while! 😂😂 Keep up the good work!

  • @jeremybernstein8808
    @jeremybernstein8808 Před 6 lety

    I carry a lot of crap in my pockets, so as unstylish as they are, I still use a cargo type short, like the 5.11 Taclite Pro or the Stryke. The pockets are flat enough that they aren’t quite as baggy as other cargo shorts. I do have a few pair of chino shorts, just in case. Great video, as always sir.

  • @Razzzordback
    @Razzzordback Před 3 lety

    I notice that most important think to look is not inseam but our body type and proportions. I have The same height us my friend 5foot8inch but 8 " short look so different on us. Because he have way shorter legs. I usually wear shorts about 2" above the knee so its so important that they dont too wide. But i have exceptions. My jeans shorts with cuff hem hit just above the knee. If they are higher i feel like they go more to feminine side it you Know what i mean.

    Good advice Jeff, I prefer the flat front chino shorts, but I AM guilty of owning a pair of slim fitting cargo shorts though. I have keys, a wallet, change, and receipt on me, a lot of times, and I have had items slip out of my pockets in chino shorts. Like the polo shirt, where did you get it?

      -most things in stores thes days just dont fit correctly on our body shape...especially if you try to get some thing a little more fitted, it makes our legs look even more skinnier!!!
