There are no particular Bible verses to discuss men's apparel but the word used in the King Jame Bible that refers to who we ought to adorn ourselves outwardly is "conversation." When the King James Bible was written, the word conversation was not necessarily referring to a manner of speech...it has an older definition which we can still find in the Noah Webster 1828 (Bible-based) Dictionary:
CONVERSATION, noun
1. General course of manners; behavior; deportment; especially as it respects morals.
Let your conversation be as becometh the gospel. Philippians 1:27.
Be ye holy in all manner of conversation 1 Peter 1:15.
Noah Webster insisted those verses be listed as example which also go back to your comment about mean wearing shorts. I'd say we have to be discerning on what's appropriate and inappropriate on how we adorn ourselves when entering the house of God or in public. There's nothing sinful about wearing shorts for a man but I'd say...they should be below the knees. That's just my opinion. Men or women wearing shorts above the knees goes back to the same issue with women who wore mini skirts back in the 50's-70's. Skirts weren't the problem if they wore them below the knees. Those who wore them above the knees...I'd say that would not be a Holy manner of conversation (based on the above definition).
