Short shorts: Hot spring trend...for guys?

Men of the world, please listen to me: I don't want to see your upper thigh -- and, chances are, nobody else wants to gawk at your hairy, flabby man stems either.

Yet some runway designers (and even some men's fashion blogs) are advocating a return to the kind of revealing menswear that's best left to the 1970s. Now that the spring looks we saw on runways last fall are finally making their way to the street, expect to see a little more leg from your fashion-forward buddies.

Short Shorts: Gross!

But never fear: you don't have to join this trend. There's plenty of ways to look good, stay cool, and avoid dressing like some annoyingly endogenous, American-Apparel style hipster. So have some self respect, damnit, and check out five more modest options that offer a more manly amount of coverage.

Good-looking Spring Shorts for Men

I dont see why not? Shorts are shorts, and legs are legs. Attractiveness depends on people, not gender.
If we could wear them earlier, I fail to see whats the issue now?
And besides, shorts were never made for sex appeal. Their primary function was comfort, utility etc. By wearing capris and knee long shorts, the whole idea of shorts is lost. Might as well wear pants i would say!!!!

You know.... when women were told they shouldn't wear short shorts... what did they do ? And Men that said they shouldn't were called what ? What did women put up with and go though to dress the way they felt best about themselves ? Do women really want to do the same thing to guys... that they had never wanted to have done to them ? One caution however... guys.. if they are really short, please shave your legs.. We don't want to see hair in certain places ! Same goes for all the gals out there. Clothes should be worn for comfort primarily.
