I can't say I wear the really short shorts, but otherwise I dress mostly like that. I prefer the regular 8 inch or whatever khaki shorts. However, those short shorts are common because of what they are used for, which is usually hiking or fishing. Granted, many who wear them probably do neither, but they do serve a purpose. Likewise, croakies keep you from losing your sunglasses when sailing or fishing, or any other activity. I see no problem, and I use mine both on the boat and off. I don't really wear lettered shirts because I don't wear tshirts often, but the reason behind wearing polos or button ups is simply to look nicer. I mean, sorry we all dress the same, but to me its how I was raised, and is quite comfortable. I also thing its more versitile, in that I don't risk meeting somebody I want to make a good impression on while wearing torn up cargo shorts and a abercrombie t shirt with some stupid phrase like "I like girls that like girls."
