Fashion Statement
Today after dropping the kids off at the pool, me and .......... were struck with consternation by a random guys choice in pants. Now normally im not one to notice the clothing of people, unless this happens to be a girl and then i notice the lack of clothing. Anyways, this guy was wearing shorts... kinda. His shorts were a little longer than capri's (about an inch above the socks). Now what possible reason could one have for wanting to wear these. Or for that matter capri's. Shorts are logical, because sometimes its hot out. Pants are logical because sometimes its cold out or you dont want to show your hairy white legs. There never is a time where your ankles are either warm in the case of a guy wearing such pants, or sexy in the case of a girl wearing capris. Secondly in the guys case it just makes you look stupid. Which is allot of the point i guess. This trend is extremely common in fashion. Something that is ugly or stupid looking or just plain completely impractical becomes popular and trendy (note UGG boots, crocs, jeans that are pre painted and ripped, those shirts that come up tight under girls boobs and then expand outward makeing them look fat, all of emo clothing, collar pops, wearing two or three collard shirts at the same time trucker hats, guys wearing pink shirts, NY yankee hats casue the yankees suck ( that was just a cheap shot), fo hawks, any sort of dyed hair ( for guys) etc. . Why? ....im dont at work wait for part 2 comeing soon

Although I do agree that man-capris are both confusing and impractical, I must argue for the utility of women's capris. Imagine yourself as a woman on a hot day. During the pre-capri years you have essentially two options: wear pants and sweat like a prostitute in church, or wear shorts and look like a prostitute. It is unfortunate that fashion has created this dilemma by mandating that women's shorts must show a minimum of 1 inch of ass cheek, deeming them unacceptable for working, visiting relatives, running errands, walking beside a busy road, etc. Capris are the solution. They're like PG rated shorts, providing comfort without eye candy.
