Hey pal, Nutria Brown doesnt really match with a lot of US camos but I took a few pictures for you anyway.

These include:
Frog Woodland Marpat
Frog Desert Marpat
Massif/ReadyOne Ind. Combat set
LBX Project Honor

I personally think it fits best with Woodland Marpat

For children under the age of 16 maybe. If you un-ironically wear cargo shorts out in public you might as well throw on a pony tee and a fedora.

semi-acceptable opposed to:
Gas masks
fatigues
BDUs
Chest rigs

Yes, cargo shorts are semi-acceptable

Yes because everyone on this board wears their gear out in public every time they go to the grocery store. Cargo shorts are not acceptable on a fully functional and mentally sufficient adult, period. If you want cargo pants wear cargo pants, don't be a downy and wear some kid's clothing item, it makes you look like a man-child.

Are you like 300lbs? Because I can wear pants just fine with-out any problems. The only people that I've known that have had to wear shorts in the heat are those that were grossly over-weight and would become a fountain of sweat if they didn't wear shorts of some kind.

And yet shorts are completely acceptable. My preference doesnt matter much.

Cargo shorts are like wearing fedoras or ed hardy shirts

People go out and wear them, and nobody is going to say anything to your face, but it communicates negative things to others

That some people are autistic enough to project shit on a pair of shorts on /k/?

Im that guy by the way, not the cargo shorts guy.

I don't like shorts at all. Nor do I like hoodies or white sneakers. But go to any college campus and you'll find thats what 50-60% of students wear--dumb gross looking shit.

The fact is most people don't care about fashion, and so cargo shorts, in the eyes of society, are semi-acceptable.

They became fashionable in the early to mid 2000s, and they are out of style now, that's all.

Its no different from the turn against ugg boots and miniskirts, the only difference is this one is male driven.
>>
>>29727913
I get what you're saying
However, if one can avoid wearing dumb gross shit, one should

Cargo shorts are still better than some of the new stuff that's being popularized by highly sociable people.

I don't know what theyre called, but I keep seeing gym rat and frat boy type guys wear these polyester things that have a really low hanging crotch but are tight around the ankles, almost as if they are wearing sweatshirts for pants.

God, everytime I see someone wearing them, I just want to shoot them.

I've noticed alot of shit from the 80's has been coming back.

And to be quite honest I'd rather wear cargo shorts over calf-high neon colored socks and nikes with those weird fucking euro style work out pants.

Fashion is fucking retarded and the essence of peer pressure is what drives people to worry so much about how other perceive them.

If you like dressing like a retard then go for it.

Although I do like high-top shoes alot. Especially Adidas.

these are arguments against shorts, not against people.

Don't invest yourself so much in your clothing. Trends come and go, tastes change, and so do people's needs.
