I don't care if you don't like cargo shorts . . .

Gianni Versace.


Donatella begs to differ...

Well, none. But I just remember my Mom and Grandma discussing skirt lengths in the 70's. I do consider buying a kilt once or twice a year. I do have both scottish and irish in me. But I have resisted. I get confused by the length issues, and with what to wear underneath.

You can combine your love of cargo shorts and desire for a kilt into a single garment:

Cargo kilts

I am definitely not down with the kilts - not happening.

Cargo shorts were never about fashion for me but even if I don't carry much with me, I want to carry in a side pocket not a back or front pocket. I don't think I have bought anything other than cargo shorts for 9 years or so.

...and I used to wear quite a few band T-shirts but now I generally wear something like these:

I remember wearing "tennis shorts" and a white Izod polo shirt on a tennis court, back in the day (no, I never put a sweat on my shoulders, loosely tied in front). Now I'm all about utility and comfort. Yes to cargo shorts, although I've ditched the cargo pants to go back to jeans.
 
I like cargo shorts. If you wanna laugh at me while you wear your hipster shit, then go ahead. You are wearing hipster shit. 'Nuff said.

I have a bad back: Destroyed (as in not there anymore) L5-S1 disc and an 8mm displacement of my L4-L5 disc. I cannot put anything in my back pockets or it causes me pain. I wear cargo shorts so I can keep my wallet in one and my can of Copenhagen in the other (They both used to ride in the back pockets of my 501's or my Nomex).

Most of my activities call for cargo shorts, a t-shirt and flip-flops. If I am going to do something that may end up in foot trauma I wear shoes.

At work I wear ripstop work pants with cargo pockets and a knife pocket on each side ( I carry a lockblade). Wallet in one cargo pocket, Copenhagen and gloves in other pocket, phone in one hip pocket.

If I am going somewhere that calls for something more..."dressy", I wear cargo pants and a polo or button-up. My suit is for weddings and funerals. I like my cargo pants.

Laugh if you want, but I will be comfortable while I laugh at your sorry attempt to attract the attention of someone I could not give one shit about.

Yeah, I am an asshole that does not care what you think. I am also a comfortable, pain-free, asshole. In my cargo shorts and pants.

My wife and I were going to a cookout recently, and she started giving me shit about my cargo shorts. "You look like a dork," she said. "No," I replied, "I look like a guy who doesn't give a fuck about other people's opinions of his wardrobe."
aka a dork.
 
Two deep pockets is all I need. If I needed cargo pockets to carry stuff, I'd carry a daypack or manpurse.
 
Some interesting opinions up in here. Apparently you can either wear nothing but faded cargo shorts, crocs, and giveaway blood drive tee shirts or else you're doomed to have your balls crushed by hipster leg wear from Milan with no possible chance for human comfort or mobility.

Apparently you can become so old and enfeebled that even a pair of Levi's poses a threat to your elephantine balls and your ability to get through the day without writhing in pain. And nevermind that, apparently, you need the ability to carry a small village's worth of durable goods in your pants pockets.

I'm wearing dress pants and a polo right now. Send mojo because I'm in searing pain.
