Patagonia Baggies — classic and usable as a bathing suit if needed; cross genre too, worn by graphic designers who rock climb after work and frat bros at parties. That’s range.
GAP 90’s Carpenter shorts — new creative direction at GAP is crushing it, especially with their throwbacks. Loose + right at the knee + zero stretch gives authentic carpenter dad vibes.
Cookman Chef Shorts — The Bear really did make chef-core cool. Cookman makes utilitarian clothing that performs well but doesn’t make you look like a nerd. The drawstring waistband gives you some comfort for biking too.
Gramicci Shell G-Short — lightweight and durable, these are comfortable for all day wear in the city or a long hike. The cinched belt makes adjustments super easy. Friends have said they’re super easy to clean too (strange selling point but sure).
