When I wear regular fitting pants they wear like gunny sacks, fitting loosely (and I'm not talking about relaxed fit clothing) and have even caused family to comment "Are you losing weight". Those comments ended when I started wearing skinny jeans. The skinny jeans fit my frame well and compliment my physique. As far as shorts go, I have worn the cut-offs from the 70's when people went as far as splitting them up the sides to the shorter shorts from the 80's and have heard those comments from others who wouldn't wear that. I am a non-conformist when it comes to fashion and to this day I wear my shorts hemmed from 2 to 3 inches above the knee to mid-thigh and won't ever change. It is cooler and more comfortable. The baggy look is definitely not for me. I have been blessed (or cursed depending on your point of view) with a thin physique and told many times I have chicken legs.

Look at the 1989 NBA finals, and the teams are still wearing shorts, not longs- I don't call the "shorts" of today that, I call them what they are, longs. Plus, how did they go from being SOOOO common in the 1980's to being "disgusting" today? Has this coutry gone into THAT much of self-consiousness?
