RE:Shorter Shorts

Shortest shorts feel more annoying and confining every time I wear them. Considering either opening the side and crotch seams for more freedom or just ripping them to shreds. Anyone prefer one idea over the other?

Decided to open the sides to the waist but leave the crotch intact. Opening it would likely create problems when sitting.

On further thought, I decided that I really don't have any use for them so I destroyed them by my favorite method. Cut and ripped them while wearing them until there was nothing left but the waistband which I then removed and threw out with the other pieces.

I have decided that as my 8 to 10 inch dress shorts wear out, I will replace them with 5 inch shorts. I do have 2 pairs of zip off cargo pants that become about 9 inch shorts that I can wear places where I would not be comfortable with the shorter ones.

Why wait? Ordered 3 pair of 5" dress and cargo shorts today.
When they arrive, the longer ones will go!

Shorts arrived yesterday.
Two pair of the longer ones will go on the next trash day,
While I will keep the pair that is in the best shape for a while, I suspect that after wearing shorter shorts most of the time, the longer ones will feel so burdensome that they will be gone soon also!

Two pair of longer shorts gone.
Since I bought 3 short ones, I also got rid of an old t shirt to keep my clothing count even,

I despise long shorts, they rub my legs with every step and feel uncomfortable. The shorter the better and the looser the better, but I don't like attracting any attention when going out in public, so have to keep it reasonable enough so no one bothers to notice. I use short and loose n floppy at home in warm weather, using slightly oversize cheap lounge short and cut the legs up to 1" inseam, sort of like a short kilt with just a tie front to back, and loose them soon as I get out of sight from where critical people can pass by and object.

Could you explain what you mean by "just a tie front to back"

I wore my remaining pair of longer shorts today for the first time since the shorter ones arrived. It made me realize another minor disadvantage.
You have to unzip them to pee instead of using the leg opening!

Wore long pant for the first time in 13 days on Sunday since it was cooler and I had something special to do at church.
Felt strange and confining.
They were actually cargo pants that convert to shorts, so right after church I zipped off the bottoms.
That was better, but since the "short" mode has about a 9" inseam which is quite a bit longer than the 5" I had been wearing, I still felt overdressed!
