LouieThe long and short shorts
October 29th 2007 00:01
A short story about Short shorts, long shorts, dress shorts and board shorts.
Shorts that mean business
Covering the goods and exposing varied amounts of the leg, trimmed pants known as shorts were once considered a fashion faux pa for both sexes. Designed for Spring and summer, for years shorts were only worn by lads till a certain age. For women a longer knee cut was demanded in keeping with the discretion of polite society.
This has bright class
Universally consider casual wear, there is a laid back stigma to wearing shorts that still exists today. Ridiculous when you look at what the latest designers have done to dress them up. Now there are pairs that are positively stylin’ and would not be out of place at any high level function.
Dress shorts for delicate comfort
Traditionally worn by the army troops stationed in the tropics or on exploration safari’s through the jungles of Asia and Africa. Board Shorts for surfing and swimming have long been acceptable at the beach.
Men and Women wearing them in the city has boomed in the last 20 to 30 years with the urban wear culture removing a lot of the social dress code of the past.
For the girls, the bold go with the cut off denim daisy dukes, a daring display of flesh that is most appreciated by us shallow beings. Men can also wear them but that’s just a disturbing mental image.
It takes a certian body type to pull these off
On the runway designers experiment with lines and the results are stunning.
Short sharp curves
