I’m a woman who wears cargo shorts, and completely confused by this talk about them being unattractive. Also, throwing out someone else’s property, WTF?

Counter-point: My sisters all wear clothing that have no pockets or jeans so tight the pockets are useless. They try to make me carry their keys and money and phones and shit when we hangout somewhere. I tell them to fuck off and get pockets.

As yet another middle aged dad, I have a pair. They come in handy for carrying stuff that I never used to have to carry (reading glasses for me, sunscreen for the kids, etc), but I can make do without them too. Just let me know. I really don’t care either way but it sure seems to be bothering somebody somewhere.

Stand your ground, dudes. Don't give in to the pocketless curse.

I’m a woman. I sometimes wear cargo shorts. :p

I used to agree with the fact that they are hideous but my husband has some from REI, Columbia, and Kühl, and 511 and they are super functional and sturdy, they look awesome, they are lightweight, and they come in a range of more attractive neutral colors. They are a bit pricier than the cargo pants with the warping…

be honest with yourself that what you’re really saying with the look is “I can’t let go.”

My boyfriend only has cargo shorts... and I mean, I’m not swooned by them or anything, but I couldn’t care less. If he loves them... who am I to judge? I wouldn’t like it if he forced me to stop wearing a whole bunch of my wardrobe, so I’m not doing the same. I don’t want to sound judgy, people can hate cargo shorts…

How are ugly ass madras shorts ok but cargos are the devil?

On the one hand: LOL at anyone who wears cargo shorts outside of, like, hiking or outdoorsy activities.

The problem is the men’s short market. You essentially have 3 choices: calf-length basketball shorts, knee-length cargo shorts, and thigh-length golf shorts (for lack of a better term). Apparently the last category, the kind seen on prep-school rapists and vineyard vines bros, are the only fashionably acceptable short…

You can have my two pairs when you pry them off my-wait, that sounds dirty. And I don’t even wear them that often. BUT STILL.

I love cargo shorts. Yeah, they’re not fashionable - but that’s the point; they’re the triumph of function over fashion, with “function” meaning “comfort in warm weather and superb amounts of pocket space”. And if you’re not slender, then they fit comfortably as well.

I say most jobs are terrible enough as it is and unless there’s really a reason not to, let people wear whatever they feel comfortable wearing to work (within reason). That means cargo shorts and sweats and, hell, even onesies. Why not? I mean not if you’re a doctor or a police officer or something, but if you’re just…

Ok honest question... what other types of shorts are out there for men? Am I supposed to be offended by men who wear cargo shorts? Are they juvenile? I’m just not getting this.

Heaven forfend that men be judged negatively for their fashion choices. (Welcome to my world.) That being said, we need to not judge people for their fashion choices. Cargo away, my brothers.

Who the hell decided cargo shorts aren’t attractive? I mean, look at the dude in your stock image. I’d do him in a heartbeat.

I love my cargo shorts. I’m a middle-aged dad; we automatically receive a pair in the mail on our birthday.

I went to one and she was LEGIT. I know people think they’re full of shit but this one nailed the details for 4 of my friends. Like very specific, random things.

Years ago I saw a psychic and she told me I would move far away for a while but I’d be back. I didn’t believe her at all because everyone in my life was in Canada at the time, I was single and had no plans of going anywhere for a long stretch of time. Fast forward a year and a half and I’m in a LDR with my…
