A clothing adherable knee pad for a pair of shorts includes a bendable flexible arcuate pad which bends over the knee of a kneeling person. The knee pad is cantilevered downward from at least two linearly extending elastic, stretchable straps which are connected at distal ends thereof each to a respective clothing engageable clip at upper region of the knee pad, wherein each clip is attachable to a leg of a pair of short pants. The two or more linearly extending elastic, stretchable straps engage the knee pad by being attached thereto or by being woven through respective pairs of slits extending through the upper region of the knee pad. The straps are of sufficient length so that when attached to clothing, such as short pants, respective locations of the clips upon short pants legs avoids uncomfortable encroachments to respective lateral and rear areas of the knee of the user.
