I personally think Beckham and Sid Vicious did shorts a really good turn. And Sid looked pretty good in a bowler too! @luetoler Come on now. We are not talking about work out attire but the variety of linen shorts that any man with a modicum of style and finesse can carry very well and has done so fashionably for many years. It is rare that a man cannot carry shorts unless you has some very unsightly legs or of course, it's not an appropriate occasion to wear shorts! Are you saying shorts aren't comfortable? Because anyone who has had to put up with recent 90+ degree weather in SoCal, will beg to differ! @Adam

Shorts are for kids, teens, and badly dressed suburbanites. There are very few instances where a [fashionable] man should be wearing shorts. If you're not in the gym, running, at the beach, then don't wear them.. And what shoes do you wear with the shorts? Sneakers and/or flip flops? That only make an already bad fashion move worse. Substitute those shorts for linen pants. Leave the sneakers for working out and try some slip on loafers with no socks. Both Gucci and Prada make some good one's. Sometimes I prefer a pair of brown Prada lace up sneakers when I want to be a bit more casual. I pair that with a either an untucked linen shirt or slim fit T-shirt. (Hugo Boss has a good line of these in various colors.) Now order a glass of something white and light up a cuban at your favorite outdoor venue. Now you look good AND are comfortable. (And trust me, you get far more compliments in a matter of hours that someone in shorts will get all summer.) Bad idea! Shorts are for kids, teens, and badly dressed suburbanites.
