For years, I was one of those guys who kept shorts at arm's length, treating them like some sort of viral sartorial disease. I wore them maybe once or twice a year, no matter how hot it got. I blame the uninspired options clogging the mid-tier market, and most definitely not my skinny legs.
Thankfully, that middle tier has come a long way. So we rounded up a stack of pairs under $150 across every worthwhile silhouette, fabric, and inseam. The results make a compelling case for for becoming a shorts guy, if I do say so myself.
