I hate Capri pants

I remember a long time ago there was some famous design chick, and she had this awesome term "Fashion Victim". Living and working around a college campus, I see this all the time. Currently it's those brown suede-like boots, spandex and some form of pullover on the torso. Good God man. That or the super long leather boots, mid length denim skirt and a sweater. I see it EVERY-EFFING-WHERE. Nobody has a mind of their own!!!

Not to mention those wearing PJ bottoms, a sweater and slippers, not UGGs, actual slippers one would wear around home. Oh and flip flops when the temp. is below 40 F.

And c'mon, most of these kids aren't here to develop a mind of their own. Then they wouldn't fit in, and besides, that would require thinking

Around here, flip-flops are casual office wear! but I haven't seen capri pants for quite a while, and I'm downtown a few nights a week.

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

I like capri's.... I think shorts are Satan's clothing and should be banned from the earth (on guys that is). I don't buy capris but I super pant my jeans (roll up to 3/4ish length) all summer.

Down with shorts! Its the super-pant revolution!!!!

Just because Gnome doesn't have the legs Blue Shorts Guy has, he's having a fit about his capri pants.

What happened to that stiff upper lip, Import Gnome?

Haha, yeah I saw a chick downtown in the bank with her pj pants.

Yeah that's a good point about thinking...:cross:

I have delightful adorable legs! Er.... I mean I have masculine manly legs!!!

My upper lip? well, I tend to let that go all wobbly at the drop of a hat. I am no respecter of my stereotype.

Au contraire. Shorts rock. Mine come out when the temp rises above 40 consistently and don't go away until it drops below 40 consistently.

Super pants? I used to wear those when I played football in high school. They are wrong on so many levels on a male.

I know, but those first set scream Greenwich Village to me.
Of course, I'm an old, stuck in my ways guy. Fashion, or whatever passes for it, is way off my radar.

yikes. those are both awful

Those capris (er, excuse me, super pants) for men (did not even know they made such a thing!) are, well, special. They just look weird to me (but, I feel mostly the same about the women's versions too).

They are just jeans with the cuff rolled up so they are not as hot in the summer. I made up the name super-pant.

Which again brings the question, why not shorts? They're a lot cooler than those things.

Quick, market those b*tches!

+1. I too do not care for capri pants. Way too trendy soccer mom for me. And they really have no place on a man. IMHO.

I just really don't like shorts. I am a short guy to begin with and when I wear shorts I look dumb IMHO. Also, I just think shorts look dumb in general on guys, I think they are an unbecoming coutuer.

 

[Rhoobarb]

Those 'super pants' are gay. If that's what you're into, good for you. I'm betting if I wore those to a White Sox game, I would be accused of being a Cubs fan.

 

[Melana]

I don't know... the right shorts on the right guy.....

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

Man.... I can't buy some love around here.... there has to be someone else here with some Euro-trash style

Well, good enough for me, though I don't think being short should be a deterrent, said the tall guy.

Shorts for me, but I like to show off my legs, chicken-like as they may be.

Yeah, Laughing Gnome would certainly side with you.

I have no style whatsoever, euro or otherwise.

I don't like the current shorts trend where the shorts cover men's knees (but this may just be in younger men):

I think it makes men's legs look stubby, which doesn't help HWMO since he's just under 6 ft.

Shorts are tasty on men (but then again, I'm a freak for legs). Show more leg!

 

[DeathBrewer]

i actually had to look up what capris are, i forgot. damn, i need a woman. capris optional at this point.

No, no. Shorts must cover the knee. Must. I will not argue this point.

Huh, fine.

As long as when you guys sit down they slide up a bit (like women's skirts do). That's only fair!

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

I think we all know why jmull choose this picture....

EDIT: My question is who was talking the picture and what did she look like? j/k

How about I surreptitiously pull them up?
