This one is a fashion blog - Old Man Shorts

Before I distribute more of my excellent fashion advice, I have a few other tidbits of advice:

• Don't google "old man shorts".  You will find LOTS of pictures of mens' butt cheeks on display.
• Don't google "shorts" at all because you will see way too many butt cheeks of all kinds.
• I have decided to share a picture of my shorts without me in them because if I share a picture of me in the shorts you might be too distracted by how awesome I look.

When I was young, I wore short shorts.  Not this short:

But still pretty short.  I am a short person, and short shorts don't look that skanky on me.  It is a gift.  However, now I am an adult and a mother and I shouldn't be looking skanky at all, so I have switched over to old man shorts.  They are awesome and you should switch over to them also.

You can find old man shorts in the men's section.  This works out nicely because the most beautiful ones will be on clearance because men don't actually want to wear beautiful shorts.  They are cut nicely, as most men's pants are.  They give you the size in inches, and since most women's clothes are not sized that way, there is no size drama associated with them.  A tiny downside is that if you find really beautiful ones, you have to wear solid shirts with them.  This is similar to the trouble with flowy pants, but this is a downside I am willing to put up with, or just wear patterned shirts and look a little crazy.  Another downside is that it is a little harder to look bootilicious, but that is kind of the point.  There is little risk that the pockets will hang below the hem of the shorts.  They have nice pockets because all men's pants have nice pockets.  Overall, these shorts rule and women's shorts drool.  I declare that old man shorts are much more flattering that grandma/mom shorts and are more hygienic than booty short shorts.

What kind of shorts are your favorite?
