Will I be teased for wearing Jorts to the parks?

[tinkerddeedee]

jean shorts are absolutely fabulous for a chick - not for a man - they become jorts when a man wears them - they are bought as shorts not cut offs - which is a whole new NO NO - no one needs to see a man in cut offs - unless you're stuffing 1$ bills in them on ladies night

great thread!!!

I can honestly say that I never notice what anyone else is wearing while on vacation. It's just not a top priority. The way I see it, we're all there for the same purpose...to have fun! Who needs someone else judging what we've got on, and, who cares? Live and let live, I say.

As a CM and as a guest we still play "spot the British" in which you can always tell by the soccer shirts or short shorts or just unusual combos.

I've never heard the term jorts either but here's what Wikipedia says:

"Jean shorts, occasionally called "jorts", are a garment worn by women or men that covers the pelvic area, the buttocks, and the legs down to about the knee. They are simply made from denim.

Some restrict "jorts" in particular to self-cropped pants made from denim ("cut-off jeans"), while others broaden them to include denim shorts cropped, hemmed, and sometimes even pleated at the knee. In either case, jean shorts are in wide use throughout the United States. With the wide use of cellphones, jean shorts now often have a side pocket just to hold a cellphone. Most jean shorts have two back pockets and two side pockets."

And I agree with who cares, wear what's comfortable!

I will probably get yelled at for this but I hate Crocs more then Jorts. Both my wife and I think Crocs are the ugliest things, even if they are really comfortable.

[WDWFanatic]

Yes, painfully...................LOL

I went to Catholic school..........I have no style!!

My skorts are only in the closet because they don't fit!

So if you see me sport my skort, dh rocking his jorts and too very embassed boys trailing behind give a wave

[DawsonAR]

What about for little boys....sitll a no no????

Amen...Goofiest looking things I've ever seen, right up there with Uggs.

I reserve my crocs for taking the dog out to piddle- as God intended.

Here in the NW, Jorts are still in for women, but not for men. The in=thing for men is board shorts or cargo shorts. Like other posters, I wore cargo shorts throughout my last WDW trip. Loved all the pocket space I had to carry things.


Side note, socks never should be worn with sandals (including Keens). Sadly, in the NW, that rule is often broken.

Another side note, I've learned a new word. Never heard the word Jorts before.

and MEN...shorts must go to your knees, no more of this 80s basketball player short shorts...

This has me laughing. Sooo true!

[MMFreak]

Umm someone better tell Macy's, Nordstroms, Lord & Taylor this one because they sell them for women like crazy. And they're not cheap either oh and Von Maur too! I've seen some for 70-100 bucks for the name brands! Not to mention Gap and Old Navy--I'm talking women here. My dh wear cargos only, now my dad wears madras lately, and black jean shorts and golf shorts.

They are OK for women.. But you can't always take what the stores are selling for what is a good thing to wear. Afterall it is those very stores that offer clothing in fabrics and cuts that only supermodels should be allowed to wear.

I totally agree. My BIL wears socks (not white but black or brown socks) with his sperry dock shoes and I absolutely laugh my head off.

[crltkcagle]

I have seen some people dressed in things alot worse than "jorts" at WDW. My kids still wear them but my dh and I do not. Wear whatever is comfortable for you.

[MNNHFLTX]

I can honestly say that I have seen every conceivable clothing style at Disney World and no one blinks an eye at them (well, maybe they blink an eye, but that's about it).

And as I tell my 16-year-old son--I'll start heeding his fashion advice when he starts heeding mine.

What about Crocs with black socks and jorts on a 50-something man whose white legs haven't seen the sun since Clinton was president?

[Ian]

The OP asked if he would be teased for wearing jorts to the parks.

I think, despite finding them out of fashion, I would still say the answer is no. No teasing.

Now you're just being mean!!!

I have been known to go around in denim shorts with white athletic shoes and white ankle socks. Can't wear Crocs or sandals because of my 'golfers tan' (ghost white feet and ankles!)

only if accompanied by a tasteful 'no fat chicks' t-shirt.

not to your face....but after a few years of reading "fashion posts" there might be a few comments "outside of hearing range" by the fashion police.

Of course, there might have already been a few anyway that some of us might not have been aware of......for one never knows what might seem funny or unfashionable to the person behind you in the Toy Story queue... (i.e. Mr. Mousemates to Mrs. Mousemates, "You mean they weren't laughing at Mr. Potatohead).
