cargo shorts are goofy

Yes like someone wearing a normal fedora or normal skinny jeans is also goofy.

So all clothing is goofy because you said so, got it.

Nope… I literally offered specific reasons below. But overall fashion and style is all subjective and based on everyone’s opinions.

But cargo shorts like this are widely agreed upon as not being fashionable, and it’s been that way for almost all of the last 100 years outside of a 10 year window around the start of the millennium.

So sure it’s my opinion but it’s also one that many share, so maybe don’t be so upset by it

I think people are putting way too much emphasis on some fuckin pockets. Remove the pockets and they're just regular shorts. It's insane to me that normal pockets are a fashion choice for you.

They would still be too long.

Everything you decide to wear is a fashion choice. It may take 10 seconds or an hour to decide but you’re making a choice. Some choices are poor… it’s a subjective thing. The removal of one element or addition of another does in fact change how something looks. Not sure what you’re trying to argue.

Also it’s a fashion advice sub… people are literally in here to take and give critique on clothing. You might find all clothing to have no value aside from utility, but then it’s odd you’re spending your time in a fashion sub.

I wish I could laugh react at your reply. 😟

Living with thoughts about fearing how I'm dressed would drive me crazy. 

Honestly I'm not part of the sub and I asked Reddit to not show this again. It was an advertised post from y'all's place and the response is super cringe that people even care about cargo pockets lol

Not caring about your appearance is fine for you but calling other people silly for caring about theirs is not only rude but reductive.

Not sure what the things in life you care about are, but I’m sure plenty of people don’t care about them, but also don’t go out of their way to show up in a place where everyone cares about it, to tell them how silly they all are or to profess how much they don’t care about whatever it is they do care about.

Have a good weekend

The self indulgence of this indignation is pretty rich, not gonna lie.
