Shorts are a menswear item fraught with peril. It's statistically near impossible to wear them without breaking some unwritten style rule in the process.

Note: it is also advisable to read this article instead of Googling 'men in shorts' because it turns out there's a lot of Tumblrs dedicated to the matter - including a lot more erect penises than we expected.
