You know how sometimes you're out and you drop your wallet in a storm drain and then you go in head first to retrieve it and you get stuck in the storm drain and all that people on the surface can see is your legs and you're trapped there until the local emergency services team can come and get you out and then there are pictures of you and your legs all over the news?

My call for a return to a common-sense inseam has been met over time with complacency, staunch resistance and — on the occasions I’ve dared to lead by example — merciless ribbing. Just as I was beginning to lose heart, it was revealed that several designers are featuring shorter men’s shorts for spring.
