Fashion advice

I own about 12 guayaberas and about 10 different pairs of linen shorts. This is pretty much all I wear.

Sartorially, these garments fit my frame best and, as much as possible, have a slimming effect on me. I look okay in a shirt and tie, but tucking in my shirt turns up the heat and I sweat.

EDIT: I do not own shorts in this color. Mine are all khakis, black, copper, or one red pair.

I love that you felt the need to defend the COLOR of your linen shorts. "I may wear casual linen shorts with an elastic waistband, but I'll be damned if I ever wear them in cornflower blue!"

I bet they have a drawstring.

I am trying to figure out the need for a pair of red elastic waistband shorts.

The only thing I came up with was that at one point in time, whatshappeningman was the Summer Olmpics flag bearer for one of those random countries like Barbados, Tunisia, or Burkina Faso.

Slap on a pair of these with those red shorts and you're ready to rock the America's Cup with Dennis Conner:

I just realized that he could have also been a ride operator on the Log Jammer at Magic Mountain (summertime only).

Sometimes, I put the red ones on with my lilac guayabera and go out and ask my wife, "How do I look?" The look on her face is priceless.

The red ones were a mistake, but they were on super-clearance. They look like swimming trunks. As far as elastic waistbands go.....they are far more comfortable that a belt when you're morbidly obese.

I forgot to mention that I have two olive drab pairs as well.

As far as the cornflower blue ones...I was more concerned that someone would accuse me of wearing them with the shirt depicted. From experience, blue pants and shorts do not look good on me.

To all the anti cargo shortites, not to mention jean jacket-haters. Jay Z, says STHU

I like loose beanies on men, even when they have short hair:

If anything, Jay Z wearing that all but confirms that it is the wrong move.

With a bit of a gut, I zip tie a bungy cord to the back half of my cargo shorts. No up front buckle penetrations, and stay up comfyness from the give and take of the cord. If done right, they even look fashionable. The best part of being over 50, is the low expectations on fashion, and the high expectations of comfort. Everyone else can go to hell looking good for each other, I'm wearing black socks with my sandals.

This was interesting, if long winded. tl;dr: Trump’s fancy suits are too lightweight for his massive panniculus.
