I haven\u2019t seen a garment of clothing subjected to constantly changing trends the way shorts for men have. In the past year or two, I\u2019ve seen them go from late-90s, <\/span>early-aughts<\/span><\/a> skater cuts to oversized to skimpy shorts. At least suit cuts tend to stick around for a good few years before changing.<\/span><\/p>\n

With <\/span>shorts<\/span><\/a>, it\u2019s been challenging to keep up with the conventions of the day. Plus, there are so many <\/span>types<\/span><\/a> these days. Do you wear one style differently than another?<\/span><\/p>\n

However, clothing proportions are particularly important to us small-statured gents. We\u2019re going to go over everything, from style to how shorts should fit \u2014 which we\u2019ll start with.<\/span><\/p>\n
