pleated suit short taupe pinstripe

Beach Brains comes through with the ultimate in summer office attire...

These are essentially a cut-off version of pleated suit pants, so if you've ever felt like you wish your pants could be shorts then these might be the right thing for you. Makes you wonder if these are actually just cut-down pants or if they were made to be shorts. Is there a bunch of cut-off pant legs somewhere or are they like donut holes—living their best life and arguably better than the original?
