Plural or not?

Here's the sentence.

"Las Vegas. Full of flip flops, Affliction t-shirts, and camo short wearing guys."

I say that it should be "short", my partner says "shorts". Which is correct?

Hi, The standard word is 'shorts'. But people who write or speak like that don't worry a lot about using standard English. Is the word 'short' the only thing you object to?
