I wear shorts occasionally, but NEVER cargo shorts. I just don't understand why guys do this to themselves..

I typically wear shorts when at the beach or when it's unbearably hot

When spending the summer in Bermuda, I often wear Bermuda shorts.

Germany is known for a great number of fantastic things, I drive a German car myself. But google "german style" and you will get a number of pictures of cars, engineering contraptions, gnarly foods, beers and military helmets, but very few of well dressed people..

From Will's Blog

"Most essential summer kit can, indeed should, be worn together at times, which makes the photographer's job simpler:

-Tan linen double breasted jacket

-Black silk knit necktie with white dots

-White dress shirt

-White cotton ducks

-Unlined white bucks with red rubber soles

-Panama hat

There are a few more items needed to make up the ten that comprise all modern lists of essentials of course, but fortunately they complement the jacket as well.

-Pale gray fresco trousers

-Khaki colored Ghurkha shorts

-White polo shirt

-Lightweight brown Norwegian slipons

+1 This line of reasoning is extremely astute and insightful. Bravo, Harvey...Bravo.

I will only wear 100% linen shorts. I have found through experience they look far better than any other type of shorts.

Oh, and if you're not wearing hiking boots with cargo shorts, you look like a major dickwad.

I wear shorts at home, on the beach and when playing sport, and try to stick to jeans even in Brisbane summers. This is mainly because I don't have a decent pair of shorts, and I'm not opposed to them because they are infinitely more comfortable than pants in the summer. Confining yourself to "Hurr Durr shorts" is a little backwards. You'll probably discount my opinion because I live in Ausfailia, where shorts are the norm even in winter

Normally I don't wear shorts, but in hot weather I sometimes roll my shirt up, exposing my belly to the air, thus keeping cool.

Oh, I see you aren't from America. My mistake.

Apologies.
