men/short pants

route 7 · ‎01-29-2011

It's a cold, windy day here and again I saw a man (not a teenager) wearing short pants. He had on a winter jacket, etc. We are having weather changes, yesterday was beautiful but today it's 20 degrees colder. Is this a macho thing, style or what. I'm a baby boomer and not all that cutting edge!

Our teenage boys always wear shorts, it drives me nuts. We live in Michigan and this morning it was 5 degrees! I pick my battles.. Ha!

I have a neighbor who wears shorts all the time. (I'm in New England.) He's out shoveling and snow blowing in his athletic shorts.

many years ago I lived in Michigan and worked for a large Dept Store....the Manager NEVER wore a winter jacket....only a light weight sweater.....and he had to park way at the back of the parking lot just like the rest of us....brrrrr....

living here in Jersey.....I use to see guys....different ages....coming into the store, I worked at, in shorts...no jackets....just plain NUTS....

Maybe they have trouble finding pants that fit or are comfortable? Maybe they just believe in always dressing for comfort.

You are definitely a baby boomer if you call them short pants. ${#emotions_dlg.biggrin}$ Shorts or cut offs is more the term now. I sure agree with the guys going out in shorts when it's 5 degrees. Must be a macho thing. I live in Idaho and see the kids go out like that all the time, my kids did the same. ${#emotions_dlg.thumbup1}$

my hubs wears shorts year round........not because of trying to look macho, it's because he is hot......he's happy with the thermostat set at 65 degrees year long..............................raven

When I read short pants I thought of the calf length type pants skaters wear.

I have seen people wearing shorts and flip flops when it's still pretty cold outside. I don't get it. But I also don't get Uggs in summer either.

lol - they can wear short pants or whatever as long as they don't free b***.

Baby boomer I sure am! I try to keep up with things but when I see the names on the tabloids I'm not sure of I do feel kind of "old". I do know cut-offs but they were shortened jeans back in the 60's, 70's!
