why has the trend change so much tham men don't want to show more legs in public . i'am 49 and i still wear the short swim 1-2 inches shorts with liners. Men might just wear there jeans at the beachs.
Ha ha! Maybe for some guys who are slaves to fashion or insecure with their bodies. We have choices. Boardshorts aren't the only option. Being a guy who has been into running and cycling for many years, I have decent legs and wear mid-thigh gym shorts every day. I found that they feel better in the ocean than boardshorts. I'd hate to see the regression back to the 1800s where people wore full body suits to the beach for modesty.mens legs above the knee have become "private parts".
I was visiting San Antonio earlier this month with my brother's family, and we went to Fiesta Texas, which is the Six Flags theme park/water park there. My brother said within 5 minutes, "The circus must be in town. Look at all these guys with looooonnng shorts on. They just need a red ball stuck on their nose, and they'd pass as clowns!" How true! Now I watch the Men's Diving at the Olympics on TV and see very little shown. For an average guy, is there nothing inbeween the Speedo look and the clown look???
Im with you, no sense in dragging around more clothing than you have to . That can be very uncomfortable when we all just want to shed our clothes anyway .. ( Without getting arrested that is .)why has the trend change so much tham men don't want to show more legs in public . i'am 49 and i still wear the short swim 1-2 inches shorts with liners.

I still don't see the advantage of wearing "shorts" that are past the knee, and almost to the ankle!?!?!?!?!? Just go ahead and wear long pants if you are THAT shy. As far as fashion and style...bologna. Ever see those black, thick, plastic frames that folks used to wear in the 60s and early 70s. I think they are referred to as Nerd Glasses now. They "were" in style back then...not now. So much for "fashion and style."
not all of us are tryin to show off our legs to gay men .......
I can understand fashion and all, but the idea of shorts is you wear them when it's warm out. If they are almost as long as long pants, then they technically aren't shorts anymore. They could be long and made out of a thinner fabric, so they are slightly cooler.
If I wear long pants and it's over 70F (21C) outside I'll be sweating my balls off. Maybe I'm just old-school, but I think shorts should be short.
