We rock what the world tells us to rock.

I'm old enough to remember when a black man would get clowned and laughed back inside if he stepped outside rocking shorts above the knee.....now you'll get clowned for doing the opposite.

The world tells us it's now ok to rock shorts above the knee and we do it because most humans are followers. Sheep.

If the world told us tomorrow that above the knee shorts were no longer "cool" then we would stop wearing them.

We're worldly people.

The real flex is when you gain the courage to step out of the world and rock what you want with not a care about what others think.

Above the knee/ below the knee. Rock what you want.

Honestly i tried to abide by public sentiment and wear my short's high af like that. but i just couldn't do it. i got a pair of above the knee short that i never wear.
This year i basically just came to terms with the fact that i am a product of my era. not the tall tee ankle length shorts era but the one right before that.
if i get clowned, i get clowned but i'm wearing my short like this from now on trendy or not.

Dudes gonna have their own style. And that's a good style for him.
But if all us fellas are hanging out, and you got all your "fellas" hanging out.

Martin in 95' was one of the coolest regular brothas back then not a rapper nor thug. He was above knee and rocking the closed toe black man sandals without socks.


Above the knee ain't new. It was for the non thugs until below knee became mainstream years later. Noticably Above knee still looks kinda flabby to me...but Martin got a pass cause he was cool and he was a grown man that knew life before hip hop.





Plus them showing thighs looks like white frat boys during the 2000s that rocked em with pink polos.


I like right below the knee. Not ankle nor thighs. Probably can do mid knee. Especially for street/casual wear.

I'm not even sure you should be rocking shorts as a man :scust:

Personally I only rock jeans, khakis, or dress pants.
