The Champion of Men's Summer Shorts: Patagonia Baggies

Born in 1982, they're practically my age! When we talk about Patagonia Baggies, they come in a wide range of colors, from contemporary to vintage, and the level of looseness varies slightly depending on the era. Some are longer, some shorter—so it really comes down to how much you want to show off those legs.

• First off, let's go classic outdoor vibes.

When you think of Patagonia Baggies, this image comes to mind. If you look closely, there are signs of well-worn love. Patagonia has that vibe! Looks like it's been worn for about 20 years.

That little kid picture is famous too^^

I'm starting to think about collecting Patagonia Baggies myself. Of course, vintage, and if possible, made in the USA! There really isn't anything better for men's summer shorts. I'm almost worried I'll end up wearing only these everywhere haha.

What kind of men will these kids grow up to be?

Now, translating Baggies into fashion...↓

Honestly, there's a lot to say from a fashion perspective here at Watermelon Vintage. How to integrate Patagonia Baggies into everyday life, into the urban setting.

First, I... go for a slightly oversized fit to ensure some roominess around the thighs. And I start with dark colors as a baseline! Dark colors even look cool paired with suede loafers in a tone-on-tone style, going for that dressed-down vibe.

And pulling off vibrant colors like purple or pink in a street style way seems pretty cool too.

By the way, you do know that shorts aren't just for summer, right? I wear them straight into early autumn. Look at the top picture—paired with a lightweight fleece!

Both options are so appealing. The picture on the right somehow gives off a scent of Aime Leon Dore, doesn't it? haha

In 2019, there was a plan at Hyoja Watermelon Barbershop to offer haircuts on Sundays. That day, Jung-ho wore an outfit that perfectly fit the Watermelon theme... Exactly the way one might wear Patagonia Baggies in the city! Individualized checkered shirt, Patagonia Baggies nylon shorts, Alden suede loafers, and a custom bucket hat.
