Since our grandson is here more and I am going less places that expect better dress, my gym shorts have seen a lot of use lately
My current supply has inseams in the 8" (20 cm) range, well above the knee but not really short.
Wanted to try something shorter so I ordered one pair with a 4" inseam and one with 5".
Will be fine at home, but don't know how it will work when I eventually get back to the gym. One of the reviewers called them the ideal work at home uniform. I suspect most of us would disagree and say that the ideal at home work uniform is nothing at all!

SteveNov 25, 2020[quote]I haven't chosen anything transparent or too lacy.[/quote] Hmmm, actually should not rule those out. Slightly transparent but not obviously so could also work, even if its hard to find. Like a tan-through swimsuit. She actually has a nightie like that, but not for wearing out. It does have an amazing balance of being obviously sheer while hiding the detail beneath. My favourite, even compared to her sexier ones.ReactReply - GO

SteveNov 29, 2020[quote]Do or did men ever wear shorts with dress shirts and ties in Australia?[/quote] Yep, and safari suits were not unknown. Just like in the ad. 4.5" was enough to go with the shirt and tie. I'm old enough to remember it, not enough to experience it.ReactReply - ST
SteveNov 29, 2020Long socks were necessary to balance out the shorts, though.

OllyNov 29, 2020[quote]I keep looking out for nighties that are passable as casual day wear for my wife.[/quote] When we were courting my (then future) wife did wear a nightie to a dinner date at my working man's club. The man opposite kept stabbing the back of his hand with his fork. I think he was distracted, maybe because she was without any underwear.ReactReply - BA

Shortly after my wife and i married shorts were shorter for both genders. Hot pants on women had maybe just went out of style but short shorts were stylish. We were at Sea World one day and I had on a pair of cut off jean shorts. The norm then. And my wife was wearing a short pair of jean shorts. Hemmed just below her butt cheeks. Walking wasn't a problem as they stated just covered but bending was peek a boo on the cheeks. A woman of middle age at the time and approached my wife and demanded she keep her shorts pulled down around because her husband's eyes had been following her all afternoon. Where my wifecresponded....maybe you should wear something to attract him instead.

When Personal FriendsDec 3, 2020"A slice of Australian options from the past." Pretty much what I used to wear. I simply cut off old cargo pants now when the knees get worn. Good to work outside in. Dress shorts when needed, Obviously would be nude if allowed everywhere, anytime. :)

I have shorts for all aspects. Running, swimming, hiking, leisure. All varying in length and or transparency depending how much movement is required during activity to show just enough to gain any curious audiences.

I often claim equal opportunity through my swimwear choices, which may also allow contours to show. :-)ReactReply - TD

Since some women worked out in jog bras or tops that didn't cover the midriff, I thought about cropping one of my tank tops and wearing it to the gym and claim equal treatment and see what happend, but I never did. Now I work out at home and am always shirtless and usually nude.ReactReply - ST
SteveDec 17, 2020[quote]"I have claimed equal opportunity with very brief swimwear at times."[/quote] As I tend to do with my wife! Admittedly she is more accepting when we're not with the kids. She does prefer me in a sleek design but not too skimpy. I like both sleek AND skimpy!ReactReply - ST

She was a little nervous about my Kinike briefs because light shows through them when they are not being worn, but she did agree that nothing shows through. Before we got our privacy fence, I would sometimes wear tangas in our pool, including a Skinz sun seeker, where the back and front are only about 4" wide and she was not happy with that!ReactReply - TD

SteveDec 17, 2020One pair of short shorts spotted yesterday (apart from mine) as a young lady was walking around local streets with a good deal of speed. Probably 2 or less with a curve in the hem to form a side split. Very rare to see female cheek here, short of visiting a busy beach.

Tom DOriginal PosterDec 17, 2020I only wear a shirt when I have to down to about 70 F. Never at home or in the yard unless we have special company, don't for frequent visitors. When I go somewhere that requires one, it doesn't go on until I get there and comes off as soon as I am out the door.

SteveDec 18, 2020Hmm, does the Skinz M19U count as shorts? I'll wear them next week if I get an opportunity.
