What if one is short 
I guess you've never seen the pages in those cheap womens mags with whole double page spreads solely used for ripping into womens clothing choices at award shows and stuff.
Fair enough, just the way it sounded!
Another + point for long shorts is that you're able to wear a climbing harness with them, do the same with short shorts and you'll soon find they turn into a thong.

Don't tend to buy 'em
I think you know what my comment meant and it wasn't that women could wear LITERALLY anything. But a woman could wear short, or long shorts and nobody would find it odd.
Sure, I don't doubt they have various practical applications which makes them more suitable for some tasks than short shorts. But I think as a rule, shorts were originally designed to expose as much skin as possible while remaining decent obviously. Now they just expose a bit of your lower leg, and everyone finds that normal - I just find it odd.
Well I can't really speak for anyone else, but I think guys in short shorts just look a bit silly + I find it's rarely so hot that I'd want to wear anything shorter then knee length.
Out of interest I did try looking into the origin of shorts etc, the only reference I saw of note was that the long style shorts were supposedly invented by the British troops serving in Bermuda!

It does make me smile to think of all the men there must be who have half their legs tanned and the entire upper half whiteHow silly.
Any more silly than having the untanned part starting a few inches higher?
I wear longer shorts because im rather wide, longer shorts look much better on me than short.
Long shorts are best IMO
I'd never wear short shorts unless there was a benefit of doing so. To say that they're meant to be really short to be cooler (as in temperature) is a bit ridiculous imo. Knee length shorts are still one hell of a lot cooler than jeans and, in a place like England where the temperature can go from hot to cold in a matter of minutes having longer shorts means you're warmer if the weather suddently changes. They have more pockets, too, which is helpful
But then again, if you're walking around in pink shirts and short shorts I guess a handbag wouldn't seem too out of place on you anyway
Also long shorts are more comfortable

I'm not being funny mate but i wear shorts that don't make me look like a tit.
See older people with shorts pulled up too high that are way above the knee, not right.
