I think long shorts became stylish because most men have chicken legs . . even a lot of otherwise built guys have small legs . . we used to laugh at them in the gym.
The steroid guys were the worst, swollen sausage like upper bodies and tiny dimunitve drumbsticks connected to tennis shoes.
I mean who wants to see a long pair of pale chicken legs sticking out of the bottom of some short shorts?
Sleeves reflect that also . . sleeves will often cover the entire upper arms of men . . why? Because today most men have small arms and it hardly looks flattering if their working out girlfriends have better arm shape.
That being said, I think shorter shorts look really good on men with good muscular legs.
But much like women and spandex, men have a certain responsibility to innocent bystanders if they are going to wear such shorts.
They should be buff, preferably tan and mostly hairless.
