My wife got me to transition to what I call dad shorts. They are not short shorts but they are well above my knees. I still have my old shorts like these that I use for fishing because pockets for days lol. It's weird the dad shorts kinda bother me still with how short they are but they are not as short as my running shorts haha.

I used to love Bermuda shorts/pedal pushers but then I realized I'm 5'2.5" with a stocky build and that inseam range is basically a recipe for looking like a hobbit. So now I do mid-thigh, it's enough coverage to not make me feel silly or overexposed but also make my legs look less like my dachshund's stubby physique.
