 @Michael Garcia I would add, who are these men that even care what the fashion industry thinks or says!  Of   course, there are small fraction that follow the trends, but if it's available, it looks good, it's of sufficient quality, and it's comfortable, I'll buy.  As another commenter notes, I have never stopped wearing pleats!

Right now jogging pants are hip.  They are hard to pull off though, especially in regards to shoe pairing.

For shorts, wear something like these:
