The RNC Doesn’t Want You Wearing Cargo Shorts To Their Event

Cargos

The RNC has taken a bold step to maintain basic standards of American decency by banning cargo shorts in the convention hall.

From Cleveland Scene:

The RNC kindly reminded journalists covering the convention this morning that the dress code exists for a reason, probably because many of us are just slobs and apparently jeans and sneakers were way too prevalent yesterday. Anyway, one thing of note to separate from the pack of khakis and polos and button ups: Cargo shorts are a no-go.

They say dress for success, so you can’t knock this move. Cargos just are a slap in the face to the fashion scene. There’s a reason they made it all the way to the Final Four in the NF Bracket (vote now if you want to see them move on to the National Championship). Just a smart move to do ban them and their many pockets.

Of course people weren’t too happy about it. Some journalists are already getting triggered by this new ruling.

Rules are rules, man. Don’t hate the establishment for drawing the line at cargos.

I applaud the RNC for striking a blow against entitled nerd reporters carrying their liberal bias in sub-waist pouches. As everyone knows, more than two pockets on a man’s leg is an abomination against all that is good and holy.

    Those same complainers have probably used all those extra pockets maybe once

    Since we don’t have forums, I’m just gonna ask: is there ever a time when cargo pants (not shorts) are acceptable? Think shooting range, hiking, or climbing.

    Feel free to lap me, but was just curious.

      But even then there are some that are still banned, like ones with tassels or ones that go below the knee. And I would also argue that if you are in a situation where cargo shorts could be worn, cargo pants, like military contractors wear, are far more acceptable.

      I sometimes wear them when im working, they’re good for seperating shit when you don’t want a tool belt on

    I cut up an old pair from my adolescent years and made a ammo pouch for the butt stock of an old bolt action rifle I use to hunt. That’s about as convenient as those fuckers ever will be.

    Yes, Cargos in uniform are functional. I love having places to put multiple tall boys I scored at the gas station on the way home from a grueling 12 hr day.
