*Well, at least they aren't wearing socks...tassel loafers would work
better, though.*
Some designers seem to think we are living in Bermuda:
At this summer’s weddings and white parties, the nattiest gentlemen will be
wearing shorts with a corresponding suit coat. At least, that’s what
J.Crew would
have you believe <https://www.jcrew.com/mens_feature/TheLudlowShop.jsp>,
along with a few other menswear companies that are giving the look a hard
sell this season.
Those jumping on the trend include Topman ($390

Asos ($286

and Reiss ($500 <http://www.reiss.com/us/mens/shorts/miami-s/stone/>). And
then there’s this Comme des Garcons number at Barneys ($895
<http://www.barneys.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-BNY-Site/default/Product-Show?pid=503308776&cgid=mens-suits&index=25>),
which looks more like a skirt-suit.
“It’s definitely having a moment, particularly with younger guys,” says Jon
Patrick, creative director at J.Hilburn <http://www.jhilburn.com/>, a
made-to-order menswear company. SOURCE - Bloomberg Businessweek

Speaking as a member of the fairer sex - uh, no. Looking like a four year
old at Easter is not a manly fashion.
*It's one thing for the men of Bermuda to wear short pants, where such
garments are a necessity of climate. But in the air conditioned buildings
of the United States?*
Guys, if you really want to show off your legs, wear a kilt. Seriously.
We ladies will tell you that there is nothing like a man in a kilt.
Honestly. With a lacy cravat and dark jacket, it's dressier than a tux.
With a black t-shirt and combat boots...trust me. ;) (No need to wear them
as a Scot would. Shorts underneath is a good precaution.)
In the meantime, please stick with the suits currently in the wardrobe with
long pants for the occasions that necessitate a coat and tie. No need to
emulate AC/DC.
* Oh, and this is the worst of the lot. It's like they took women's
palazzo pants and just cut them off:*
