Hi guys,
there are regular shorts that end at or slightly above the knee. And there is another type that is much longer and it ends below the knee, at mid calf, iirc.
What is the name for that type of shorts ?

Thanks.

It's called "I'm wearing a fat little kid's pants as shorts."... or "ghetto".

I've always called them Capri pants. The woman owns a couple of pairs, not sure I get the appeal of them.

Sometimes those chunky-legged women wear them when they're too embarassed to wear those regular cut (which are super short anyways) shorts.

The really long ones that look like a skirt from a certain angle? Coolats.

EDIT: If you are a man, please do not wear coolats.

Capris/clamdingers.

I don't see what people's problem is with them. Some nice baggy white ones would be really cool, if I could find them. Anyone seen "Only the Strong"?

Chunky-legged women wear them because normal shorts get bunched up in between their thighs of doom and they have to stop every 15 seconds and pull them out of their crotch.

Now, I'm not one to demean people on their size if they aren't disgusting and let themselves go... but chubby people shouldn't be wearing shorts for this reason. I mean, it's not like pulling them out of your ass every 15 seconds can be comfortable. Find some longer, looser shorts FGS.

If you're talking about Capris and you're a guy and you want to wear them, then you need to be royally smacked until that thought leaves your head.

QFT

I have shorts that go below the knee, but they are not tight like capris. I have a bad scar on my right knee, but I wear long shorts because I like them.
