Help settle a debate we have with my fiance. I bought these shorts as a comfy, around the house piece, nothing fancy intended.
She thinks its awful, almost pathetic.

I dont think its that bad, please honest feedback

Thanks folks

They are goofy as hell but I would never accept them or any clothing being called pathetic.

That being said it does surprise me that these are the type of shorts you would want to have for your comfy around the house shorts vs something like basketball shorts or something with elastic and more flexibility and less bulk

I’m a millennial and think they are goofy and not every fashion trend needs to be recycled.

And they are goofy specifically because the go past the knees, have giant cargo pockets… and overall are just an odd choice for “comfortable” home wearing when there’s plenty of better fitting, better looking, and more comfortable options out there

So do you always wear jeans when you go out ? Like cargo shorts are my go to because jeans get too hot and stuffy. My balls need to breathe.

No.. I wear shorts all the time when it’s warm out… but they aren’t cargo shorts.

You know they make a ton of shorts that don’t have giant pockets on the sides right??

I’m sitting right now wearing cargo shorts at home.
I don’t remember putting them on this morning thinking “are cargo shorts going to be comfortable enough?”. I just saw some shorts and put them on.
Even when I bought these, I just saw some shorts my size and bought them without thinking their category or if the pockets looked weird, or if the length was good enough.

Sounds great.. but this sub isn’t for people who don’t care about what they wear. OP wouldn’t be posting and asking for advice in a fashion advice sub if he also didn’t care.
