It's gonna be very interesting this summer when my newfound interest in shirts that end at the upper thigh collides with my continuing interest in shorts that end at the mid-thigh, resulting in about 3 inches of visible shorts.

Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme 100% ramie shorts. They have something like a 15" rise and 30" outseam. Cotton pockets + drawstring, and probably horn button fly. Most likely one size.
I got these shorts this summer and promptly added a liner because I couldn't handle the sheer, delicate, woven fabric by itself. This really stiffened and gave structure to the shorts, as seen by this cropped image of me wearing them:
A mistake? Maybe. They look pretty cool with no structure, but they're more wearable like this IMO. At least I'm not afraid of showing too much skin (no, not all my boxers are black).
Fabric is cool, but it rips and wears out easily. I've had it darned by a tailor in a number of spots and I've taken to patching the holes myself while at university. It doesn't help that I wear them hard and my keys are sharp.
Realistically, if these were tighter, they'd probably be considered cropped pants.
I love these shorts. During summer, I love wearing long, loose clothes. These are super breathable, even with the liner. They go swish-swish when I walk and the combination of my gait and the fabric structure makes the shorts always move a little bit behind me, sort of like an after image.
The pockets are fairly large. I can hold my keys (2 tags, 4 keys, and a big kubotan) and a wallet pretty comfortably.
The shorts themselves are pretty ridiculous. The shorts have gotten compliments and strange looks. Unfortunately, I don't see them lasting very long.
I live in California during summer and part of winter and Ohio the rest of the year. Highs of 110F and low of... eh... -10F? I wear them whenever it's dry and above 50F or so. I could theoretically wear them when it's colder but my calves get too cold around 30-40. I've probably worn them in the rain.

These shorts fit great, short shoe synergy very strong
interesting front pockets
I'm partial to Carpenter shorts
Own to pairs of the nylon version and I love them. Think I'd prefer the ruggedness of the nylon cotton though
perfect fit
I'm gonna miss shorts weather. My favorite time of year for clothes is the end of summer. Shorts and jackets (love) Tempted to try out the shorts and leggings look but I know I can't pull it off

as long as they're not too slim. nice dangly drawstrings, huge pockets, snap closures.
most likely not made in big sizes so on the hunt for something similar for this summer.

i find they've got a good boxiness to them that is kinda Alexander Wang-like, and they're quite functional. Good with a big ass tee and some sneaks.
I'm thinking about getting these Patagonia strider shorts, which are a trail running short:

i legit do have to get new running shorts, and im hoping i can have shorts that play double duty.
