Which shorts work better here?
Which of these linen shorts works better here?
Also, any thoughts on the length?
I think both are 6.5" or 7", and I was debating whether to take around an inch off.

Hi @interpassivity! For better answers, include:

- Location: country/continent is fine
- Timing/urgency
imo beige but to me black shorts other than baggies always feel a little goofy with ranger mocs or other ivy coded shoes
length is fine imo, you could always cuff them if you want to go shorter
whichever one you like better tbh
i agree with zeo beige is good but they’re honestly both just shorts
they're a lot closer to faded dark gray, iOS camera app just always crushes the shadows
short answer: heard, but does not really move the needle for me. it's a super casual fit though so there's no wrong answer if you like both pair
long super pedantic answer: ivy fits tends to be heavy on earth tones (khaki, olive, navy) and the like and i don't think there's an intentional juxtaposition happening here to make the gray work better than the beige -to me-. (baggies are different because there's cultural context for wearing them)
if you don't engage in that degree of thinking about clothes then follow your gut.
thanks for this, that's good to know even if I'm not necessarily going that deep
I do have baggies but they are a salmon color that wouldn't work great here, and honestly I've never been a fan of the way the material feels. I definitely prefer cotton or linen
