Maybe not.

Lyssa म्हणाले...: This is what I do when I'm stuck waiting in court - look around and mentally make fun of all of the male attorneys with too short pants. There are always so many of them, and it's just so unflattering.

I didn't get what was so special about this guy's shoes.; १२/११/१२, ६:११ PM
Dust Bunny Queen म्हणाले...: I think that they could post a picture of someone wearing a plastic garbage bag, wearing flip flops and a tin foil hat and the commenters would still swoon all over the fabulous fashion sense.

What a bunch of ass kissing maroons.; १२/११/१२, ६:१३ PM
Tim म्हणाले...: "What a bunch of ass kissing maroons."

Yep.

Obama voters, no doubt.

Mistaking shit for ice cream.

Funny, in a sad way.

Tipping point?

In the rear view mirror.; १२/११/१२, ६:१६ PM
Known Unknown म्हणाले...: What, was this shot on Staten Island?

They could be floods for reals.; १२/११/१२, ६:२९ PM
ricpic म्हणाले...: I can think of two movie stars, Gene Kelly and Van Johnson, who let a little sock show and it worked quite well. In Van Johnson's case the socks were always red and became a kind of trademark item. Kelly somehow got away with a little white sock showing. But in both cases it was a half an inch of sock, tops. This guy's showing between two and three inches of sock. Ridiculous.; १२/११/१२, ६:३२ PM
Lem Vibe Bandit म्हणाले...: Its like a male version of a mini skirt.

I like it.; १२/११/१२, ६:३७ PM
McTriumph म्हणाले...: Those are high water pants even considering they are tapered khakis, think Mad Men late 50s, early 60s Brooks Brothers pant. They should be worn as close to the shoe as possible with no break and showing a little sock.

The shoes? Most monk straps are expensive and in good taste, but I've always felt double buckle monk straps are pretentious.

Who doesn't like the field jacket?

No, I'm not gay.; १२/११/१२, ६:४२ PM
Damon म्हणाले...: Tough crown in the comments over there. "Ordinary, subtle, discrete...." I give the guy much more credit than that. I loved the entire outfit and thought it went together great.; १२/११/१२, ६:५० PM
john म्हणाले...: God, he's playing pocket pool.

At his age.; १२/११/१२, ७:०३ PM

Kelly was a dancer. Couldn't have pantlegs in the way, and yes, he was so good you wanted to see his feet move.; १२/११/१२, ७:०६ PM
Unknown म्हणाले...: EMD
I agree. Short pants and white/light socks are for dancers.; १२/११/१२, ७:११ PM
edutcher म्हणाले...: Guy looks like he's trying to find something in his pockets.

Just a tad on the line, but not that bad.

As Katherine Hepburn noted about the Duke, some men like to call attention to their feet, if small ("little Irish feet", as she put it).

There, there, dear, glass houses and all.; १२/११/१२, ७:१३ PM
el polacko म्हणाले...: if you've spent much time checking out this satorialist site, you'll see that shorter pants are being worn all over the place...this gentleman is not wearing anything particularly unusual. whether or not you find showing sock (or more often, bare ankle) an attractive fashion trend is another question.; १२/११/१२, ७:३७ PM

john म्हणाले...: Actually both guys in the photo are playing that form of billiard sports. Must be a New York fad.; १२/११/१२, ७:४४ PM
I Have Misplaced My Pants म्हणाले...: Say what you will about Gene Kelly, but John Travolta's pink socks in Grease will never be equaled.; १२/११/१२, ७:५० PM
As my whimsy leads me.. म्हणाले...: He looks like he's wearing women's pants. In fact, he has quite a derriere for a guy that size. He looks like a 25 year old woman, except for the head.

I'm glad he is at least wearing socks. The feet sweat. Why people want to wear socks without some kind or hosiery is baffling. Stinky shoes and ugly legs--does the public need more assaults on their senses (to go with the constant, lousy music in public places)?

Synova म्हणाले...: What is the orange thing by his leg? Is it part of the pants?; १२/११/१२, ८:०८ PM
Charlie Currie म्हणाले...: Short pants - very, early 60s, stylish.; १२/११/१२, ८:२३ PM
McTriumph म्हणाले...: Synova
It's the previously mentioned shopping bag, or are you just pimpin us?; १२/११/१२, ८:२३ PM
Wince म्हणाले...: Why are his pants so wrinkled around the knees? That accentuates how short they are below the knee.

He'll look like a real dork if he crosses his legs.; १२/११/१२, ८:५९ PM
McTriumph म्हणाले...: Cotton is king, guaranteed to wrinkle.; १२/११/१२, ९:१० PM
Patrick म्हणाले...: Mine are not. That guy's are.; १२/११/१२, ९:२१ PM
Joe म्हणाले...: In a few scenes of Skyfall, Bond's/Craig's pants were short (and cut very narrow), which made him look even shorter and dumpier than normal.; १२/११/१२, ९:२४ PM
Conserve Liberty म्हणाले...: WGAF?; १२/११/१२, १०:३८ PM
As my whimsy leads me.. म्हणाले...: I meant SHOES without socks. I think that was a pre-nap comment. Sorry.

Bob Boyd म्हणाले...: OK Althouse, where do pants end and shorts begin?; १२/११/१२, ११:०८ PM
Sam L. म्हणाले...: High water pants. Ruin your shoes if the water gets that high.; १३/११/१२, ९:२० AM
new york म्हणाले...: particularly appropriate since Greene Street was six feet under water last week. I expect to see Wellingtons featured soon.; १३/११/१२, ६:०० PM
