Shorts and sandals on the weekend is what summer is all about. I have a drawer of 5 or 6 cargo shorts. That's what the wife put in my drawer. At some point in the 26 years we have been married, she decided I would no longer wear cut off jeans.
I don't take advantage of the pockets, wallet in one pocket, keys, maybe cell phone. Can't imagine loading them up, then I'd need a belt to hold them up.

If you're wearing cargo shorts to "go out," you're doing it wrong.

Yeah, I should wear a coat and tie to see the Deftones or Social Distortion or Bad Religion. That's what my wife and I do when we go out.

Ive seen people wear a coat and tie with cargo shorts but it's not a look I'd recommend. It takes a special kind of neck beard to pull that one off.

Yep.
Tonight, I am not only wearing cargo shorts, I am wearing plaid cargo shorts. Loud and proud baby!
On my last "Cargo Shorts" outing, my wife and I were in JC Penney's. They were having a buy one, get one free sale. I found one pair that I liked but could not find another pair in a color I liked...I wear camo cargo shorts, so obviously I am completely unconcerned with what other people think...
Except camo. I thought long and hard about it but the wife and I agree that they were just a bit too, "YeeHaw!" for me. Some people can rock them, I cannot.
As for Levi's (as noted in another post) : 501's used to be the only pants I wore when I was younger and wore them for work and school. A few reasons why I cannot wear them now:
They are fucking expensive!
I am too fat!
My back....

well, obviously. anyone who has an angry racoon cartoon as an avatar would clearly not give a flying fickle funk about fashion.

Up here in Middlesex county, I just wear my Columbia convertibles. Nice, loose and made of ripstop. The ones I own have zippered legs that can come off about mid thigh. they have cargo pockets on 'em that rarely get used. Put anything with some weight in there and it bounces around all over the place when walking. I made the mistake of putting a couple of fishing sinkers into one while surfcasting a couple summers ago. I had enough of that shit banging up against my leg after half an hour.

Yep.
Wow! 6 pages on cargo shorts. Who'da Thunk? I guess I thought I would get more mileage from a thread I posted about wearing my thong. Perhaps under my utilikilt.

It is a win-win. Those who don't give a shit what others think of what they wear post, and those who feel they are arbiters of good taste will post. The neutrals just ignore it.
