Do you like jean shorts on men? DH wears them to work in the yard and when he fixes cars and lawn mowers and general maintenance stuff. If we are out in public I prefer he wear cargo or golf shorts. He loves his jean shorts and tries to wear them everywhere!

Noooo. I am also anti cargo shorts unless you are doing work — like carpentry or working in the yard.
I like twill or oxford — or something that looks like either.

My DH owns no jean shorts. But the one thing I noticed with your example is that both pairs of shorts look nice and tailored. They fit really well. I'm so over my DH's cargo shorts. They look huge, long, and sloppy.

Jeans shorts on men = a no from me although Dh does have one pair of very paint spattered ones he wears fro Diy. The first ones in your post look nice - are they denim? Hard to tell on my phone.

DH is skinny. He needs slim fit pants. Slim fit jean shorts don't seem to exist. He hates cargo shorts and only wears his for yard work and home improvement projects. He also only wore them when we went camping and carried more stuff.
Slim fit kahki shorts exist and those look better.

No jeans shorts, unless you pair them with a white t-shirt and white New Balance tennies and call it the Dad Look!!!

No. Not a fan. My dh doesn't own a pair either. Cargo shorts don't bother me at all though.

I know they are considered a fashion no-no, but DH wears them almost exclusively, and he has zero interest in changing. Honestly though, it doesn’t bother me in the least. I think they are just fine.

My DH stopped wearing jean shorts several years ago. Out in public, it's some form of "golf" shorts, so they are a bit dressier looking. Around the house, it's either a running short or his worn-out golf shorts that he will no longer wear out in public.
He is also careful to ensure that all new shorts have a buttoned rear right pocket. That's where he carries his wallet & he likes to have a button for extra protection from pick pockets. (I was pick pocketed at the airport years ago coming back from our honeymoon, so not an everyday concern, mostly just when we're travelling.)

I don't think dh owns any jean shorts anymore. He generally wears khaki or bermuda shorts for going out. He does wear cargo shorts for work sometimes (general contractor) and around the house when he's working outside etc.

I prefer long cargo shorts on men. Nothing too fitted and hopefully with no knees showing. Just a thing with me but not a deal breaker of any kind.

Doesn't matter whether I like them or not. Men, like women, should wear whatever makes him comfortable.

Unless they’re super long and baggy I’m neutral on them now, but I don’t think DH owns any anymore. They all died a slow death and he just hasn’t replaced them. I like the grey shorts you posted, they’d look nice on him. He’s really tall and has pretty slim legs. He prefers baggier shorts that go just past his knee or athletic shorts. I know I’m in the minority but I do like him in athletic clothes, they suit him. Aesthetic, interest, lifestyle, and personality. Eta: he loves cargo anything, and although I don’t think they look great they suit him as well. But those dang pocket flaps are forever wrinkled and messed up!

no but what is even worse is dh has cut off a pair of jeans and they are raggedy jean shorts. Luckily he just wears them for yard work etc.

The first ones in your post look nice - are they denim? The first picture is what I call golf shorts. They are not denim. |

I think most men's jean shorts are too long-knee length which makes DH look even shorter. I prefer the golf shorts on him since they are usually above the knee and show off his muscles better!  |

You said in the OP you “prefer” he wear something different. Do you actually ask him to change? |

My DH doesn't own any denim shorts, he is definitely a cargo short wearing kind of guy and I like him in them, my kids prefer cargo shorts as well. Honestly, I don't tell my husband what to wear, he has his own style, as I have mine, and he does just fine with it.

Do you actually ask him to change? I will if we are going "out". Especially if it's church! He doesn't mind when I ask. I am the one that buys his clothes, it's my own fault, lol. BUT I do always say that the jeans shorts are for work, not for going out. Same with Crocs. They are for camping and around the house. I hate it if he wears them "out" anywhere in public. Yes I have issues! Lol. |

SO does not own nor would he ever wear jorts. He is also anti-cargo shorts. His typical outfit is flat front shorts with a button down like this. He's a somewhat dressy person though. I literally only seen him in a t-shirt maybe 5 times in the 11 years we've been together. :  |

I have never seen DH in jean shorts. He has two short looks: his schlepper ensemble which is sweatshorts and a ratty t-shirt, quite possibly inside out, or khaki shorts and a polo or a button-down.

Editing to add ~ I have been in a relationship where my ex-husband didn’t like things I wore in public or bought me things and told me when and where to wear them. Notice I said “ex”. |

Since my husband doesn't get a vote on what I wear, I try to do the same for him. He wears both cargo shorts and the shorts in the first picture posted.

I wish my husband cared more about his appearance, he's clean and tidy but that's where it ends for him. He doesn't wear shorts ever. |

Would you be okay with him asking you to change clothes before going out in public with you or buying you clothes and telling you when and wear you are allowed to wear them? this was a fluff thread. Not a read into my relationship thread. And yes we have a relationship where we are both fine with requests on clothing. This is not an everyday occurrence. He wears what he chooses every day. I am talking more about wearing jean shorts to church or a party where jean shorts would not be the norm. This is more of a joke in our household. He's not well known for his fashion sense and he definitely makes fun of himself too. For example he will purposely leave his dress socks on and then go put on sandals and jack his shorts up (like in the nerd picture on this thread) just to make me laugh. I am sorry if this thread triggered you.  |
