Dear Mr Gok Wan…

Dear Gok,

What is the optimum length for shorts? With summer in full swing, I would like to wear more short trousers, but am unsure of the etiquette. Does the appropriate length change with any particular variables? For example, should dirty shorts be longer than clean ones, or should you wear tight shorts when pairing them with plimsols?

For your information, I am a pear shaped gent who usually bases his fashion style on Roal Dahl.

Yours,

Herbert Rumbelow

PS. I trust you are aware that your name is an anagram of Go Wank? I assume it has been pointed out to you but my friend George (a man without any cogent anagram in his name) thought it best to raise the issue to make sure.
