StayClassy: The Do’s and Don’t’s of Jorts
Ladies have jeggings; men have jorts. It’s just the way God made us. And while jeggings are a pretty straight-forward garment (if you’re over the age of 14, don’t buy them), jorts are a fashion minefield. Because there is an obvious need for this, I hereby give you my official guide:
DO cuff your jorts at or just above the knee.*
DON’T flirt with the concept of daisy-jorts.
DO pair jorts with suspenders.
DON’T pair jorts with bad dance moves.
DO rock P.O.C. (pop of color)
DON’T sport ca-jorts (capri-jorts). Unless you are Kevin Smith and it is your uniform.
DO make jorts out of skinny jeans.
DON’T try to bring back stone-washed jorts.
*Jorts of this length may also be hemmed or cut off.

The best option is never to wear jorts. I have lived a jort free life, and I am a better man for it.
If you do desire to wear them, put on your wrap around mirrored sunglasses, tattered Poison concert show t-shirt and say hello to 1985 for me. -

Don't combine Jorts with Crocs. especially bright orange ones. Only Mario Batali can pull that off. And he really can't.

Also don't wear jorts with sandals... with long socks.
In fact, don't wear long socks and sandals, in general.
