The Critter Shorts Spectrum

Whether they're sailboats, skulls or saddle shoes, there's more to embroidered shorts these days than the tiny whales of previous generations. These quirky critter shorts offer a pop of personality to otherwise simple chino shorts. Of course, they do draw a healthy amount of attention to your legs, so you may want to hit the gym.
