The WAYWT Discussion Thread

Why is it that cargo shorts remain the default American male lower-body attire for summer? It's 2013.

Cargo shorts are ******* awesome. You ever put a cheesy gordita crunch inside one of the many pockets and forget about it and then 5 hours later find it while fumbling for your phone? No? Get back to me when that happens and then try to insult cargo shorts again, you godamned philistine.

First WAYWT, I apologize in advance for not having a full length mirror and iphone pics.
EDIT I'll get a better location and lighting for a full fit pic.

you are mixing up fashion and style
Style doesnt have to follow a specific trend. Fashion does, by definition.
Who cares about fashion

I can't believe you wore shoes when you stood on that ottoman. My grandma would be pissed.

while i have never encountered that specific scenario, the utility of cargo shorts is pretty undeniable.

thats a very SF thing to say. well, more correctly, its a very MC thing to say. it also doesnt mean anything, and if it does, its wrong.

great fit, fishbones.

Also, I'm not american. I was just trying it on, that's why there are no matching bottoms. I'm getting comfy for the night now. Wanna join, jety?
As long as I see guys running around in sweats, I can enjoy the utility of cargo shorts every now and then.

105°, I'm melting. I admire everyone who can keep a good look when it's hot, but I'm a sweaty mess. And yes, that's perfect for trying on a jacket

T, I love the rise of the pants and everything but the shoes (again!) of that fit.

i agree Stitches that the 'who cares about fashion' comment was pure gratuitous provocative non-sense lol. I just meant it bothered me that someone seems frustrated just because a poor lad was wearing cargo shorts in 2013 !

The main difference between style and fashion is that a lot of men are embarrassed to say that they are interested in fashion, so they say they are interested in style instead.

On a website about fashion, you are frustrated that someone expressed a thought that cargo shorts look like ****

 

[Doberman]

He didnt say they look like **** he said you cant wear em in 2013
