I don't like anything above my knees. Middle of knee cap or inch below is how I like it.

I have been looking for shorts for this summer. I have noticed a lot of stores having shorter shorts on display. Is this the new trend?

Everything new/trendy I see from Oakley, Nike, Puma, Adidas etc. are all 10" to 12" inseams. Longer is/has been in since last year.

Of course those that want the 70's & 80's look also have plenty to choose from. Just look in your Dad's dresser. ;-)

Depends on the day but a pleat is more comfortable.

Length: I prefer at the kneecap or JUST below the knee. It depends on what's available when I am shopping. I do not do above the knee. They'll likely be just above the knee when I am sitting down, and that's just fine.

I go flat front. I don't think I own a pair of shorts or pants with pleats. I just don't like the look.

However, wear whatever is comfortable for you. Because in the end, your own comfort is what matters most.
