Coming out of covid hibernation in a few weeks for a week at the beach in OCMD. Also have trips planned in the summer and early fall to Jamaica and Key West. Need some new beachy type clothes. What's your post-covid beach style for shorts, shirts, swimsuits, sandals, etc?

I think "heavyset" may be overstating it.
I look thinner, my fat is hiding out around my gut, hence "skinny fat". I think I may have just crossed the chest bigger than gut threshold.I already have the cargo shorts. I love these things and have been wearing them for years, so light and functional... Shorts

I'll have none of what they're selling if what they're selling is short shorts. I'll leave that for the women and the dandies. Forget about that.

am also in need of shorts.
been wearing Vuori Banks shorts for casual, out at the park, going for walk, etc. but need something a little nicer to pair up with a button down.
on one hand, i feel like shorts can't be dressed up.. they're cutoff pants.. but t-shirts don't work in every situation either.. and i'm not wearing pants when it's 93 with high humidity.

Shorts: They don't need to be "short shorts" but they should stop above the knee. Imagine your knee as a circle...shorts should end at the top of the circle (not in the middle or bottom of the circle)
Swimsuits: Should be shorter than your regular shorts. I've converted to 5.5". Chubbies 5.5" trunks with the compression liner are :style: and comfortable. Not cheap though....$70 each.
Summer Shirts: Just load up on some V-neck solid t's. I just discovered FreshCleanTees.com. Bought 2 to start to see fit and quality....just bought about 6 more in misc. colors. $17 each
Summer Shoes: Find some comfy solid white low cut shoes and get some no-show socks. I also just got some slip on vans for the pool and beach (checkered or solid white both good)

Those cargos aren't ideal, but not terrible either. As along as the pockets are close to the leg and don't potrude out you can get away with it. Less baggy and stop at the top of the knee circle would be much better.I think "heavyset" may be overstating it.

Thanks! I was looking at FreshCleanTees and googled reviews before trying them and found this thread about the wholesaler they may be getting from and just marking up if you're interested in more. May buy some through there and see how they are...

Yep. If your shorts are hitting your kneecap or, God forbid, going past your knee.... please donate them to Goodwill and go buy some proper fitting shorts you cholo doofus.

Bingo.
LOVE These LuluLemon 7" Warpstreme Chino shorts. GF got me a couple pair before Costa Rica and wore them everywhere. By far the most comfortable shorts I've ever owned. Dress up or go casual.. they work. I'll be getting more.
For Running/workouts these cheap Baleaf 5" shorts are great at $18ish. Lots of colors. Back zipped key pocked plus regular pockets. Very comfy. Very lightweight. Available with or without mesh. Amazon link may not work. They're okay for swimsuits as well, but can cling a bit when getting out of the water due to the very thin fabric. I live in these for running, workouts, yardwork, etc. I think I have 6 pair in various colors?
Summer Shirts: Agreed V-Neck Solid Tees. I live in Bella+Canvas Tri-Blend V-Necks. About $10ea, and come in a bajillion colors. Insanely comfy. Great Drape. Hold up to repeated washes. Lightweight in the heat. Probably have 15-20 of these in various colors.
Summer Shoes: Cole Haan Zerogrand Oxfords... sockless.

Tell me you're an out of touch old dude without telling me you're an out of touch old dude. 
Feel free to stick with the shin-length cargo shorts and cheesy Target graphic-tees, mane... but this aint the thread for you.

these used to be worn by guys playing softball in the 70s and 80s. same style. same basic material. just.. skin tight and a little shorter.
i'm guessing in person they look a little different, but i can't erase the association with my old man and his teammates wearing these all the time.

these are the shorts. nice pull.
i think they called them sliding shorts then. or at least they were a variation on sliding shorts. some guys wore them instead of the pants during games.. probably in an homage to the White Sox?

my HS football coach definitely wore these with the band pulled up over his belly button always.

I thankfully don't see anyone wearing those nut huggers hiked up over their belly button around me but you do you!

sweet - crazy how much they look like Adidas Stan Smiths (without the little bit of green trim on the heel)
I have a pair I bought in the mid-70s still that are in really good shape.

7" Inseam are nuthuggers now, eh? You 12 feet tall?Gilroy34 said:I thankfully don't see anyone wearing those nut huggers hiked up over their belly button around me but you do you!
I'm 6' and they land around an inch above the top of my knee when standing. Shorts should not cover your knee or you look like a Cholo. Might as well wear a flannel with only the top button done and a flat bill Dodgers cap to complete the look.

7" (right now) seems to be the perfect length for casual shorts7" Inseam are nuthuggers now, eh? You 12 feet tall?

my running shorts are.... shorter.... and that works for running, but i can't see myself wearing them out to dinner or something. maybe, though, just because i don't know how to pair em up with an appropriately styled shirt?
The link you show is at least 3 inches above the knee which is painfully gross and ugly. It doesn't help that the waist is hiked up like Urkel though.7" Inseam are nuthuggers now, eh? You 12 feet tall?

Agreed 100% they are hiked up causing an issue. #wherestylegoeswrong
They actually stop a good bit lower than that wen you're not trying to align the belt buckle with your navel.

Are Hawaiian shirts a hard no? Or would they work for vacation/casino/etc? This comes showing up on my FB feed and I actually kind of like some of the styles.
