In public places such as malls/shops the pants must not be too short as to expose the inner thighs... general rule of thumb.

WK, calculate the height of your shorts by my formula....if you have more than 1 foot you are a great man!

Hair on the legs, you monkey.

LP who said hair is ugly? Imagine a hairless dog or a cat? Now don't mention the sphinx cat...as I find it ugly too.

edifis you my man are in line for the next Nobel prize for coming up with that formula :)

To the OP, shorts around knee length or even slightly above are fine

Men should not wear shorts. They all have ugly, hairy legs.

Hubby wears shorts above the knees, and no-one has ever said anything to him. As long as you keep your mouse in the house, I'm sure you'll be ok...

Knee length shorts no problem, a little above the knee no problem also. Im speaking from my experience.

for women length of hotpants is

min height of hotpants in cm (s-min) = sqrt(x/h)

The minimum length of hot pants for men should be this big:

Stretch your arms across and stand like Jesus the Christ. Now measure from tip of middle finger to the tip of middle finger to have the value of x in cm. Then divide the value of x by your height(h) in feet.

The value you get if expressed in cm is the minimum height of your short pants.

minimum height of short pants in cm (s-min)= x/h

If the pants too short, like above the knees, you might be unlucky enough to have a local come up to you and give you a piece of his mind.

Also depends on where you plan to be. At the beach it might be ok to go for really short, but places like malls, better to be on the safe side.

I have never had any issues with my Khakis. Just don't go around with the latex cycling shorts..
