Shorts

[Phishfan]

The world has two types of people. Which are you?

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

If it covers your knee it isn't shorts, those are capries.

[Spider-Dan]

swimming: above the knee
everything else: below the knee

That said, the latter are harder to find than they were in the '90s and '00s.

If it covers your knee it isn't shorts, those are capries.

These are not "capries":

It's annoying to me when they touch or go below the knee.

[Dave Gray]

I like longer shorts, but nothing I'd call "below the knee".

I don't like to show any thigh.

[Phishfan]

Only old men, regardless of your biological age, wear shorts that do not cover the knee.

The only time I ever wear any type of shorts is when I go to sleep at night and when I am going swimming.

[Spider-Dan]

Only old men, regardless of your biological age, wear shorts that do not cover the knee.

Or young men.  It's a skinny jeans world!

Does this count as covering the knee? This is the kind of stuff I wear and marked above the knee in the poll. Regardless of how you answer I do realize I'm still old. hahahaha

[Phishfan]

That is close but I call that above the knee.

Don't get me started on those.

I like the length that CF is referencing but I'm fully out on cargo pants with pockets on the legs.  It's a bad silhouette and makes you look bulky and fat.

I've started seeing a trend where shorty-shorts are making a comeback amongst the young'ins.

Not for me, I wear basketball-style shorts which almost always stop at or slightly-below the knee.  I also don't believe in showing thigh.

I'm not a big fan of the baggy ones either but I think of them more on the longer ones.

It's the whole 80's thing making the comeback. I wore the shorties along with my mullet in the 80's. We also wore socks up to our knees and half shirts. hahahaha

As a kid of the 70's and 80's had to wear short shorts for the summer.  And the tube socks had to have colored stripes on them and pulled up all the way almost to your knees.  No mullet for me though.
