Street watch
I saw this dude at the Paper Magazine party recently. To me, this look really captures the moment.
This spring, herds of dudes are hitting the streets in tight short pants. I carefully studied the look, and it seems the more untanned the legs, the tighter and darker the short pants.When I say “untanned”, I mean the legs should look like they have been forgotten in the CBGB basement for 25 years, and a sales assistant at John Varvatos just excavated them from under piles of shoe boxes. It’s a smart urban look, good enough to attend civilized events and great for cycling at night if you’ve got no rear light.
The untanned leg
A tall scary dog is a great style addition
And my own interpretation of the summerish look:
For a more personal touch, I pair my black tight short pants with an all American preppy look

I like the untanned legs. More authentic!
are those tight shorts? or running shorts? spandex?
How weird, I was seriously contemplating bicycle shorts two days ago, envisioning them as the right bottom with my colorful African summerish tops.. Love your blog dude.
Very timely post. I was commenting to Hubby the other day about the rise of this trend. However, he is wedded fully to his beloved, utilitarian cargo shorts.
what a daring way to feature anemic gastrocnemius muscles.
Hilarious!!
You genuinely make me ‘lol’.
i love this look – but then i enjoy nearly anything that propagates mens’ bare legs in my visual landscape.
love your drawings and matching commentary!
