Daily Dose of Common Sense

In a move that will appeal to tens of people, designer men’s shorts are now carrying a price tag of more than $500 a pair. Tom Ford, Armani, Prada, and others have shorts on the market that will set you back hundreds of dollars. It seems like the wrong year to sell such an extravagant item considering the economy is in the tank. Remember, you don’t even get enough fabric to fully cover your legs.

For the cost of one pair of Tom Ford’s $650 chino tennis shorts, you could buy:
- 32 pairs of shorts from Old Navy.
- 13 pairs of shorts from H&M.
- 16 pairs of shorts from Banana Republic.

If you can afford $750 shorts, good for you. The question here isn’t whether you can buy them. It’s whether you should buy them.
