Are jean shorts taboo?? I guess I have given zero thoughts to it. The only shorts I find revolting are short shorts ...😂😂😂

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. Same here exactly. He has some, he wears them, I really don’t care. What bugs me more is the fact that he gets probably a dozen Duluth Trading Longtail T’s maybe every 6-8 months and he gets them all embroidered with his work logo (which I don’t mind), but then he will wear ALL of them to work and slop something on them that doesn’t come out in the wash. Glue. Silicone. Grease. Paint. Ugh. So every shirt he owns looks like hell, even the newest ones. I wish he would buy a few in a certain color that he reserves only for wearing when he isn’t working or working on projects at home so he has something decent looking once in a while.

This is one area where having teens is useful. They have no shame in telling you when you look dumb.

black shorts - black tshirt - usually branded - no show socks - all black shoes and a semi flat hat
he no longer owns jorts - i threw them away
if he is going someplace 'dressy' he wears jeans or pants -

No, no jean shorts. DH used to have some, but I haven't seen them in years. I bought him a few pairs of shorts like the first picture, but I wouldn't consider those cargo shorts. They are fitted and look nice. Not big and baggy like he's packing poop in the seat of his pants!

I like the ones on the left. I don't like jeans shorts on men (or long jean shorts for women).

I honestly don't care what anyone wears (I don't even notice most of the time unless it's something that I really like).
My dh absolutely REFUSES to wear shorts of any kind EVER though - even if it's 104 degrees with 100% humidity and he's mowing the back yard behind our privacy fence, he's got on long pants and a shirt (meanwhile my fat ass is out there in shorty shorts and a spaghetti strap tank probably to the chagrin of all my neighbors). I think it's weird, but at least he never has to worry about sunburned legs or shoulders.

They don't bother me. My husband wears them, I'm not going to insist he change what he likes for me.

DH never wears shorts, and neither do I.

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! I’ll take number 1 please. 😜

Ugh, jean shorts are gross. Honestly, not a big fan of shorts - besides athletic shorts - on men. Of course, DH disagrees and wears shorts including <gasp> cargo shorts (but at least not jorts).

Not a fan of jean shorts -if my husband owned any it must have been at least a decade ago. I don't mind cargo if they're not too crazy baggy or long. My husband prefers tailored shorts anyway.

My dad wears jean shorts, my dh would be mortified, my fil never wears shorts at all— choices determined by age, occupation, and general dress sense 😉. Fil is an old farmer—those guys don’t do shorts! Dad based his summer wardrobe on what would embarrass my sister and I as kids, and by what was comfy for summer pursuits like post-baseball tournament hanging out, camping, boating, travelling. Dh is a total clothes horse and spends more money and effort on his wardrobe than I do—probably in response to growing up with the aforementioned farmer 😁

Geez, DH has been wearing the same two pairs of shorts for years-one jeans and one khaki and I wish they would go away. I swear one looks like a pair of shorts I misplaced on a scouting trip 15+ years ago. but every time I check its a pair of wrangler mens shorts. they are just UGLY! I have replaced some of the really bad ones that he asked me to repair(oops-they got lost in the sewing room) and he has the good sense to wear those when we go places because his other two are conveniently in the washing machine. He is lucky he washes his own shorts, because the next time I touch them, the will have a crotch blowout and be beyond help. I have two pairs of Duluth Trading Post dry on the fly pairs of shorts waiting in the wings for when this happens. They looked nice with both tshirts and polos on the web site when I ordered them.

I do not like them on men. I don’t love them on ladies either, but they aren’t as silly looking on women.

My dh wears only jean shorts. They are baggy and longer. I had no idea it was "bad" style choice. He doesn't care and lives in them for work. He has a few nice pairs of dressier shorts to wear with golf shirts if he needs to dress up. He looks hot in those! I like cargo shorts and loved when my son let me dress him in them... years ago. We dress for comfort and don't really bother too much with what's in style. He doesn't tell me what to wear.

The shorts in your first photo = YES. I love them. They don't look like jean shorts though.
The shorts in your second photos = NO. They are very Daggy Dad.

Fil is an old farmer—those guys don’t do shorts! Very true! My grandpa was a dairy and beef farmer and I never saw him in shorts or a t-shirt my whole life. Even in summer. It was always long pants and long sleeved work shirts 7 days a week. Every Sunday he would change out of his work clothes after milking and dress up in a suit for church, then back into work clothes when he got home.

This is one area where having teens is useful. They have no shame in telling you when you look dumb. 100% this. My girls will tell dh straight out that he looks ridiculous. They'll tell their older brother the same, although he almost always dresses nicely. Dh has 1 pair of jean shorts but only wears them if he's fooling outside work... and lately he's just been wearing old jeans when he works outside because he does a lot of kneeling... and he's allergic to everything so the less skin showing, the less likely he'll end up with a rash. LOL

They don't look like jean shorts though. The first pair are what I call golf shorts. They are not denim.

This is where I fall, though I'll admit I've been trying to talk DH into a kilt for years and I hate that he won't even consider it. When it gets to 102 degrees and 85% humidity in the summer where you are, I think you should wear what's comfortable for you and STFU about what others wear unless it's truly extreme (racist, inappropriate for a certain special area/event, etc.).

No jean shorts for my DH. He's usually in Columbia shorts of some kind, with either a t-shirt or a nicer button up.

As long as they are pulled up appropriately and you have nice legs, I don’t care o e way of the other. I’m drawn to strong man legs.

Which is weird because I’ve never seen either of my grandfathers wear shorts of any kind.

My husband ONLY wears jean shorts... and he USED to only wear black tshirts.... it was sooo bad literally 24 tshirts in BLACK!!! I counted them...
Now he wears t shirts for his different sports teams... and he is a runner so he will wear his 5k 10k half marathon tshirts IF they dont have to much color...
BUT still only wears the jean shorts... im ok with it... he is a grandpa!! And we are really not a fashion forward couple...
