I hope never. With lots of skin cancer in our family, it's one way I know my little guy is safer.

I like those Chubbies! I wish I'd posted this link before I bought my husband 2 prs shorts. He's European and doesn't like the long American shorts, but lately that was all I could find. But I know he'd be annoyed if I bought him more shorts since he doesn't need any. We'll just have to wait a year or two!

PP, long shorts remind you of hoodlums. What? Please elaborate.

This. According to my teen sons, the shorts are shorter this year.


+1 Just check out J Crew and you'll see what we mean.


Np here. Swim trunks are somewhat shorter too -- Patagonia and their ilk. The "look" is 1960s James Bond on the beach.

As an aside, I do like capris on men. Just not those long and baggy shorts. They don't serve the purpose shorts should serve, so they just look dumb. (the purpose shorts serve, in my opinion, is to allow for maxiumum motion and to be cool in hot weather.)


Try JCrew Factory

Never if there is a God. More is definitely less.
