Cargo shorts - Yes or No?

[HFWR]

I use a fanny pack when cycling.

Yes or No?

If I had ABS like that I might.

If you're buying shorts at Menards, TJ Maxx or Costco....you're not buying anything that is in fashion.

That's what the pockets in the back of the cycling jersey are for

Yes! Oh you meant the shorts, did n't you. They can just throw those away.

Yes or No?

I don't carry a purse, and most of my shirts don't have pockets, so my cargo shirts are where I carry my wallet, phone and keys. Add in the comfort, and that's why I have about 5 pairs of Cargo Pants.

In addition for me throw in facial tissue for an occasional old man allergy sneeze, carmex, and my readers. If I get any older I may need to find shorts that hang past my shins that have 8 pockets in them.

I have some cargo shorts, but do not wear them that often... I wear more gym type shorts more often... or some that are 'dress' shorts... only one pocket per side...

I have an tote bag designed to hold an iPad sized tablet. It is dark gray and black and has a nice masculine look to it. Mostly it holds extras I need while walking about a city for the day. Rarely does it actually hold a tablet.

Chuck, since you purposely chose to write the word "masculine" in your post, I am assuming you are doing your darnedest to avoid succumbing to ever wearing a "fanny pack" ?

European pickpockets love fanny packs on tourists.

The locals use fanny pack as well.

Most people have gotten wise and wear their backpacks and fanny packs in the front.

I use a messenger back, never had any problems except once, on a vaporetto, some guy standing next to me tried to reach into one of the many pockets.

He chose a weird pocket though, instead of the main compartment, he reached into a zippered pocket that had a checkbook. I carry my wallet in my fanny pack worn at the side for easy access and visibility.

Anyways, if you go any time between late April and early October, most people including the locals are dressing for comfort, not style (unless they're going to work and need to dress up).

For travel I wear a wrist wallet and a little flat bag on a lanyard round my neck. The flat bag can hide under a shirt. Husband wears one too.

I have a fanny pack but never wear it. It makes you look as if you have extra hips, and don't care.

Not that I would consider them stylish but I saw this article on stylish fanny packs:

Fanny pack in Texas means you are probably carrying heat.

 

[RetireAge50]

Yes on all shorts.

Hey, if ladies don't like their men to wear cargo shorts, maybe the men should throw out the ladies purses. Maybe then they could understand the utility of cargo shorts for men. My almost daily attire in temperatures 65 degrees and above are shorts and tee shirts. Most of my shorts are cargo shorts. Fortunately DW seems to like them on me. Probably because I have sexy legs.

I wear a fanny pack when I walk my dog, but it is to hold dog related stuff - pepper spray, poop bags, flexible water dish and water. Of course, if some azzhat wants to think I'm packing heat, that is OK, too.

Here in the hellish southwest, I wear Bermuda shorts nearly year round. No cargo shorts though, as I want mine just above the knees.

 

[RobbieB]

My cargo shorts are just above the knee.

For some reason I haven't worn shorts of any kind since about 1964. Not that I have anything against them, but the circumstances where I'm comfortable in them are rare so I just don't think about buying any. Mostly I'm in jeans and a pullover shirt (with collar and a pocket) if going outside.

I haven't purchased a pair of dress pants since I retired 9 years ago. I wear shorts 9 months a year and jeans in the winter. Dress pants at funerals. I do have some cargo shorts but mostly golf type.

 

[Sunset]

I wear my cargo pants above the knee.

DW thinks it is fine I wear them as I'll be unfashionable and less attractive

 

[COHgirl]

We both wear cargo shorts at our house. I have more pairs than he does.

I want comfort and convenience. It's easy to keep my power bank in my pocket when hunting Pokemon.

I'm with you, Walt. Jeans in cool weather, cargo pants the other 8-9 months of the year.

Oh, I think you two would look splendid in lederhosen.

If you take a photo together while dancing, I am sure it would make a hit on this forum.

every old fart I saw in walla walla yestersday was wearing cargo shorts. It drove me to drink more of the wondeful wine there...
