I noticed this year while on vacation in Germany, that more and more guys are wearing shorter shorts. Usually only down to mid thigh. When I returned home, I found this same trend. Less guys wear shorts to below the knees like they were wearing their brothers cast offs. Today I stopped in an intersection to let a guy go who was jogging. Great looking athletic without a shirt on and these mid thigh shorts. Really hot, showing his package and a great ass. Is this a trend? If so ,bring it on. Can't wait to see more....or is that less?

Shorts have gotten rediculious in the last 10-15 years. they sort of look like capri pants almost. than there is the underwear showing thing.. yatch.. but yes, shorts should be, well short! But with the spandex I wear, length is not as important..

I saw this exact thing the other day. An older guy was leaving the grocery store and his shorts were well above his knees. I applaud this makes me watch even more. It's so hot seeing older men do it.

I will not wear "to the knee" shorts??????. I prefer 6 to 8 inch inseams but are hard to find. I usually tailor my own to about 7". Any shorter and I have to be careful how I sit unless I'm trying to put on a show.

The pic was last year with inseam tailored to 7". The VDL was not intentional - I just happened to notice it while organizing my family photo album .

I actually think the trend of long shorts was popular by those guys who never worked on improving their legs so they wore those silly Capri type shorts to hide their undeveloped legs. My legs are one of my biggest and strongest body parts and I enjoy showing them off when I can.

My legs are fat, and even jiggle a bit...I'm working on it. But even at that, shorter shorts look better on them. Giant bell-shaped capri pants are flattering on no-one.

The worst I ever saw were denim, pleated, ranger shorts with applied pockets *and* cargo pockets. They almost stood straight out from the waist, when worn...did hide the bulge well, though.

I've been wearing mid thigh length shorts for years, other than 3 pair of cargo shorts that are longer. There is a tailor across the street from my place, and I bring him new shorts to alter often. It's worth the money to me. When I'm working out, I don't want to feel the material pulling on my knees. It bugs the shit out of me! I like the inseam to be 6" to 8". Any longer is too long.

I used to wear surf trunks before they got too long and were renamed board shorts. I've been wearing 6" mesh gym shorts to the beach. Works better and looks great. I'm into cycling and have buffed legs. I'm proud of my legs and don't want to hide them.

shortest ones I have are just above the knee.


I like showing off my legs too I leave them hairy but the hair clings to the skin so it looks nice plus is it's brown/blond mix. I have 16 inch calves


Personally I would not wear mid thigh since my dick might fall out the left leg hole when sitting down ( if I was to get hard when sitting.)

It's funny you mention that because, for some time now, when we go on vacation we pick out who's American at the beach by who's wearing the longest shorts. And, when put to the test, it's usually been accurate.

Fashion in general is changing for guys, both in pants and shorts. I am glad to see this change. Fitted pant are on the come back, replacing those hug baggy pants that came into fashion. Shorts to, are getting snug and shorter.... I am happy.
