Yeah, I asked the same question earlier in the thread.I am still curious about this idea it's stylish to ditch cotton tshirtd for lyca-like material shirts. What planet does this occur?
Let's put it this way: I'm a regular Yelper and we eat out at least 4-5 nights per week (and at least one of those is typically a high end meal, i.e., over $150 per couple without liquor, as my wife doesn't drink and I drink sparingly), including at least once a month in NYC, i.e., I'm pretty sure I know what high end is. Eating well is my biggest vice, if you consider it a vice. And >95% of the places we go have no issue with cargo shorts. I'll comply with the small % that have dress codes if the food warrants it. Restaurants are way less snooty than country clubs about attire. If you really want a list (I don't think you do, based on your snooty comments in this thread), I'm sure I can provide one.

A grown ass man should not go out in public in 2016 wearing a cotton tee shirt (regardless of logos or art work).
Also obviously, it is ok to do weekend errands in a crew neck Under Armour shirt (or comparable).
This might be the dumbest post I ever read and I spend a ton of time on the Current Events board.
Care to back up this frame of thinking?
So in other words you can't back it up.It's fine. I was wired to aspire and achieve the American Dream. Part of that was understanding how "the othe half" behaves. Just "paying it forward".
So in other words you can't back it up.
I imagine you walk around in extra medium underarmour shirts and meggings, but that's only when you're not doing photo shoots.
I think we have a different idea of what is high end. I can't think of one place that would allow cargo shorts that I would go to. And you would feel like a mook if you wore them there.
Multiple people have said the same thing I said, that most high end restaurants in this area, even in NYC, don't have dress codes, i.e., cargo shorts would be ok. Unless you're telling me California has now become more conservative/snooty than NYC, I'm not sure what you're talking about. Are you telling me you don't consider classic NYC steakhouses as "high end?" All the ones I've been to allow cargo shorts - I might be a bit underdressed compared to many other patrons, but I don't really give a shit, as I like being comfortable and I don't care that much about the approval of others. You appear to be much more concerned with appearances.
You're the manWhat kind of a microdick thinks rolling around on the weekend wearing a freaking Under Armour GYM shirt to do errands thinks he is better or more well dressed than some dude in a Pima cotton tshirt bro? No one cares chief. And if you are someone who does care, well then you have issues to work out .
No real man would GAF, much less voice that ludicrous opinion on a message board
I am not picking a fight, just calling a spade a spade.Move on.
You are picking a fight with the wrong guy.
Where do you play mostly and what games/stakes? Used to play a ton on line and won a decent amount and still play about monthly at Parx - mid-level stakes (10-20 limit Omaha hi/lo or 2-5 no-limit) and do well at that level. Retiring in a few years and plan to play a few times a week and hope to augment my income. Have thought a little about what it would be like to play full-time and always figured I'd get bored. Of course, I wear cargo shorts when I play, lol.
People still wear cargo shorts?
I still don't understand the benefit in removing pockets. I find it infinitely more comfortable to keep my phone, keys, and wallet in the side pockets where they can hang freely instead of being squeezed up against my waist.[roll]They're different people wearing different sizes. They are literally the same shorts without the pockets. Go on their website if you wish, you can see plenty of nice flowing leg room on the pocket-less shorts, even in video form.
Does this help?
Do you drive around in your Under Armour shirt and scoff at the number of people you see in cotton tee shirts? I can't imagine how lowly you must think of people in sports jerseys.A grown ass man should not go out in public in 2016 wearing a cotton tee shirt (regardless of logos or art work).

Nothing wrong with being an intelligent individual and recognizing that "fashion" is just a marketing tool to sell you new clothes you don't need. Be a man, find what works and stick with it.
A few years back, flannel shirts were a woefully outdated 90s throwback. Now they're all the rage again thanks to the oddball trend of lumbersexual hipsters and urbanites who've never been to the forest. You know what? I always liked flannels because they're warm and comfortable and because I watched my dad wear them my entire childhood. And I'm going to keep liking flannels when they go out of style again (maybe they already have, still waiting on my "trends" guide to arrive in the mail for the fall/winter season) and then when they inevitably come back. Fashion is for rubes.
You are right that some things are timeless .... wing tips, a well tailored suit, black tie, white pocket square and white shirt, for instance .... cargo shorts are not on that list.
Being a man does not equal being a slob as some here have insinuated.

And not two sh*ts where given from the folks wearing cargo shorts.The real high end restaurants in NYC require a jacket so I don't think cargo shorts will fly.
The restaurants that are a notch down may allow it, but they think you're a clueless tourist from the Midwest.
----I wouldn't wear any kind of shorts, cargo or not, to dinner in NYC unless we're talking about a bar.
It doesn't.I am still curious about this idea it's stylish to ditch cotton tshirtd for lyca-like material shirts. What planet does this occur?
It's time for you to come clean. Is that you in your avatar? Your avatar cracks me up. Where is that from, and does that contraption work?It doesn't.
I'm all for staying current, and as I said, my cargoes are now strictly lawn-mowing and painting garb. And I also realize that current T-shirt fashion has embraced cotton/polyester blends, which lend themselves to a clingier, slimmer fit. I shun them because I'm not wearing blends in the summer - too damn hot for that - and also because my dedication to physical fitness does not stand up to the demands of body-hugging T-shirts. Also because you can never go wrong with a nice 100 percent cotton T-shirt (generally speaking, of course - I'm not saying you wear it to a restaurant).
But wearing performance-type workout T-shirts (UA, etc.) to do anything else but work out is the same as wearing basketball shorts for anything other than basketball, the gym, or running - it's a free country, but you look like you're 15 years old. And if you actually are 15, that's fine. But if you've graduated high school (either this year or 30 years ago), this is just not something you ought to do.
That's obviously my twin brother; I would never work out in a one-piece jumpsuit (unless fashion dictated I should).It's time for you to come clean. Is that you in your avatar? Your avatar cracks me up. Where is that from, and does that contraption work?
That's true....he does have some dumb ones on there. ;)This might be the dumbest post I ever read and I spend a ton of time on the Current Events board.

(too easy, you just walked right into that one - lol)
For the women who hate cargo shorts - I'll quit buying them when women quit buying skin tight jeans with bling all over the butt. Because so many women who think they're being fashionable have more than ample real estate to display the bling, it sometimes looks like a full scale map of the constellations on their hind ends. And how comfortable can that be to sit on?

Being a man also doesn't equate to being a judgmental prick.
Years ago, we had a guy at work who was a fashionista. He busted the balls of guys that he thought dressed in a slovenly manner. He was widely considered an asshole and needledick, and he creeped out the female employees. He wound up divorced, penalized by the IRS and tossed out of the partnership. A real success story--but a snappy dresser. Moral of the story: guys who judge other guys on their clothing are overcompensating for other deficiencies.
Plenty of real men live their lives not worrying or thinking about what other men are wearing or caring what others think, and they are better men for it. Many other examples of men had insecurity and other issues who compensated by trying to be fashion plates, but they were broken men.Weak, petty arguments. One thing (taking care of yourself) has nothing to do with the other thing (being a prick/bad husband/bad boss). Those are excuse arguments. Plenty of men manage to take care of themselves and are good husbands, bosses, people. It's not a one or the other choice.
