Every once in awhile, I see people online (facebook, blogs, etc) talk about how cargo shorts are no longer in style. Is this true? I remembered when carpenter jeans went outta style and I had a pair that I was continuing to wear around. My wife eventually clued me in and I eventually stopped wearing them. After I retired them, I started noticing other people still wearing them around and came to the realization that they do look kinda stupid. Personally, I love cargo shorts because I hate putting a wallet in the back-pocket (george costanza wallet). Even if they are out of style, people are just going to have to deal with it

You just gave me a little thrill thinking back to high school when one of my crushes swaggered around in carpenter jeans. What a butt...

In order to be instyle you have to dress like your grandpa would. Tall black sock. Tight shorts. Button down short sleeve almost see through shirt. You will be in hipster heaven.

As far as cargo shorts, I don't see them going out of style. Men's fashions are usually slower to move in and out, but this style has been around for a while. They're too convenient. Hubs has some for work but not for his actual summer wardrobe.

The boys at school still wear them. That doesn't say a lot, but the girls still date them. The girls are cute, too.

I actually like the ones that have a zipper compartment too. Ya know, in case I'm going on a roller coaster or something.
What's the alternative to cargo shorts anyways? Just shorts without pockets on the side?
I can't go back! I'll die first.

DH and DS both love them. But they both have the attitude of " I wear what's comfortable and if you don't like it, F U"
So you won't be the only one still wearing them.

I just bought some for DS and there were tons of them in the stores. I thought that meant they were still in style. It really doesn't matter in this house though. My kids would have to wear them anyway and worry about getting me to not buy them again.

Our son recently commented how all the middle age men at an outdoor festival were dressed like Charley Sheen's character in 2 and half men (including his father). The bowling shirt/Hawaiian shirt with cargo shorts is a classic look for guys who don't care what the fashion police think.

Cargo shorts are out of style?!?!?!?! They are still seliing them at the mall stores. How can they be out of style if the hip stores still carry them? Daveboo, you will have company in my DH. He will give up eating before he gives up his summer cargo shorts

They look particularly attractive with black socks and sandals.
Honest.

Gotta love the 80s. I thought he looked like he was on his way to a pride parade! OP made daisy dukes for men. I never bought a pair, and thought about how uncomfortable they had to have been. Did he have bright colored shorts? There was a certain shade of blue lots of squishers wore.

I'm pretty sure they are out. They are pretty hard to find in stores, especially stores that cater to younger guys. That is a good indicator.
Whenever I see younger guys in shorts it is always athletic shorts. I think boys have given up on structured clothing all together.

GQ says no on Cargo shorts since last summer www.gq.com/style/wear-it-now/201306/the-best-shorts-for-the-summer#slide=1You will be happy to know that Red bandanna around the neck is coming back. All of the spring 2014 trend look ugly. This will be interesting spring and summer at work. All of the boys read fashion magazine. First place I ever saw skinny pants on men. I think there is no hope for husband for me here. They all look ridiculous. I guess I like more woodsy guy better. I vote cargo short back in.
