Today I made a purchase: ladies denim roll-up shorts. Now, these have been popping up in a lot of places nowadays and everyone is sporting them. So based on this and the fact that I love showing off my legs, I splurged the $19.50 and invested. These are great for lots of summery occasions and aren't very atypical. That is, unless of course a 6'3 white man is wearing them. This is where the term fashion comes in. To me, fashion is defined not just as what is in style but what isn't...yet. Sure, everything has been reinvented and this isn't the first time a man has worn denim shorts. However, it is the first time in the last 20 years or so that the shorts haven't been something found on an episode of Blossom, Fresh Prince, or Martin. You know, with the cargo pocket or painter's tab, and hanging halfway off the ass. So let's unite, men! Dig out your circa 1993 denim shorts, cut off the tab, and roll em up just past your knee. Or, you could just spend the $19.50.
