Never wore shorts in all my years in Africa. The wusses from who claim to wear them because of the heat are talking nonsense. Shorts are for the beach or sports field not for the street.

IMO those shoes are atrocious. I don't like the mashed collar, and who cares who makes your undershirt? It's an undershirt- they're not meant to be seen.

The point of wearing shorts is because it's hot outside. I don't get wearing a long sleeve shirt, especially with two undershirts with shorts. If it's hot, why are you wearing three shirts? If it's not hot, why are you wearing shorts?

+1. though w/o the Africa part.

I always wear shorts when I am working out, diving or surfing. Other than that, never.

Excuse me, I posses a very lean and muscular calf; bony would NOT be an accurate descriptor of them. How dare you.

They are Gucci. Not that that makes it any better. Edit: Oh, are you talking about the blue suede ones? No, those are Ferragamo. You're right.

+1 There aren't only wusses, but cowards.

Living in the South shorts are needed in the summer. They are not for work wear, but on weekends and days off they are very much appreciated.

I pretty much alternate day-to-day between cotton or linen trousers and shorts during the summer months. Shorts are fine. You can easily wear them without looking underdressed.

The real crime? Flip flops on men. Flip flops are for girls, bro.

I sincerely think that entire ensemble would look much better had he decided to cover his legs. But, hey. That's me.
