Would you ever wear khakis to a bar?

It's a bar. You aren't there to jmpress people (I hope). That said, I wear khaki shorts just about everywhere during the summer.

And what the heck is with people acting like khakis are a classy alternative? Khakis are what a clueless middle school kid wears when he thinks he's "dressing up."

Oh I forgot to mention that I poked holes in the seat of my shorts in order for my gas to disperse faster.

What other options are there for shorts? Please don't say jean shorts. Cargo shorts are almost as bad, but at least they were somewhat cool in the recent past.

Anyone who is this judgemental about what you wear will likely be judgemental about the rest of you, too, and would be even if you did meet their dress code.

Yeah.... NO!

There are many options. As you said, cargo shorts are very popular around here still. Many people still sport jean shorts (although many places around here have dubbed them "gang wear" and won't let you in if you're wearing them). Not sure what they're called, but those cotton print shorts are very popular also. These:http://urbanupdater.files.wordpress.com/2007/03/plaidshorts2.jpgquote]162430 wrote:

It is usually a guy who is balding. I always kind of feel sorry for them. I had a buddy who started balding pretty early, like early twenties. He used to wear a backwards hat and finally I just told him that he needed to embrace his baldness and own it. He did, got a close crew cut and looks great.

He just got married earlier this year. Hot wife and he is doing well at work. I take total credit for all of it.

I'd appreciate hearing any ideas you may have for me. Thanks.

To the guy asking where I live, it's a small wealthy place with tons of European influence . I imagine any huge city is going to have the whole spectrum

Funny, most wealthy Europeans wouldn't be caught dead socializing, much less living, in a trailer park.

By definition, no one could be caught dead living in a trailer park.

I wear khaki Dickies work pants. Would definitely wear them to a bar.

what's the diffy between khakis and cargos?

Hell yeah!

Last night.

Because I met my GF for a drink after work, and didn't want to change my clothes beforehand.

Khaki is a color. It's the tan with a hint of green. Cotton twill pants of that color are often called khakis. Cargoes have the extra cargo pockets.
