when did guys start wearing capri’s? did I miss the metrosexual bat signal here? Knee length shorts- wonderful. far better than short shorts or the dreaded banana hamock (extra gross points if you wear light coloured shorts too tight with no underwear. wow you’re styling). but man capris? no. if it hits your calf, is tight, is best paired with a saucy pair of ballet flats or looks remarkably like something audrey hepburn would wear- you’re in the ladies section. back out and buy yourself some clothes for men.

At least 3 years ago. Of course it’s probably just catching on here now. But I agree it is a horrible look. Women want their ankles to look skinny. Men shoudn’t. It just looks, you know, all Pridey and stuff. 😉
nothing wrong with pridey, but who wants to embrace chicken legs on men as a look?
The pride reference was just in the spirit of the season, wasn’t really intended to be negative. Tho it is hard to think a man in Capris is anything other than out and proud, unless he is obviously a surfer.
pfft, what’s the diff? you can’t wear those pants cause they’re too short? you can’t wear those shorts cause they’re too long? only girls are allowed to wear shorts that are too long? only girls are allowed to wear pants that are too short? where did that rule come from? it’s like when it was socially unacceptable for women to wear pants, or trousers, or slacks or whatever you call them, only dresses. that was a dumb rule, right? my penis shouldn’t dictate the length of my pants/shorts. well, as long as it isn’t hanging out for all to see, i guess.why should women have all the fun? i can’t wait for men to be able to carry purses, i need somewhere to keep my phone and wallet and lip stuff too but because i’m a boy i am unable to. why? will the weight of my man purse send the earth crashing into the sun? will the length of my pants/shorts interupt the flow of nature? i didn’t think so.
“banana hammock”hahahaha! that’s hilarious… i gotta get me one of those.
