Is it just me or do men look incredibly dorky in khaki shorts?

+100 any outfit, even khakis and a polo, can look well styled or sloppy depending on the pieces. Even among golf wear it can be frumpy or fashionable. But generally, I let my husband be unless he asks my opinion or I think he might be embarrassed. And for other people, I try not to judge, though I do think in general (white) American culture tends toward a lot more frumpiness/lack of style than other groups.

There are lots of nice breathable pants these days. And frankly, if you’re hot in pants, you’d be hot in shorts.

I really hate that you’re making me defend men but this is so stupid and unreasonable. They’re just supposed to wear pants all the time…?

It's still off. A male golfer looks 100x sexier in nice pants.

Golf and sexy have no business in the same sentence.

Yes? Unless they're at a pool, on vacation, or in a gym or jogging. The overwhelming majority of men look dorky as hell in shorts, even "nice" $100 shorts from Brooks Brothers or whatever. It's just not a good look.

Nice pants and a nice quarter zip can be handsome, at least. Shorts, a golf polo, and those dorky golf caps with the huge logos is so dorky.

No, they do not.

Agree, OP. I was thinking this last night when I saw an older man in khaki-style shorts and a polo and thought, he'd look so much better in linen pants.

Summer pants aren't sweltering. In many hot weather countries men do not wear shorts.
