Lots of yack lately about men's shorts going back to being "short" again. I'm not so sure we need this!
Look, I'm no fashionista, but I have been through a number of men's trends as far as clothes are concerned, and that includes the short shorts debacle. Didn't we get that out of our system a number of years ago, and with good riddance? As you can see from the pic above, I too had my run with short shorts, as we all did. Looking at NBA footage from the 80's is brutal enough, with Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson running up and down the court in meaningful games in what looked like bathing suits - and bad ones at that.
Shorts are an interesting thing. "Shorts" can be entirely too short on guys - Ala Magic and Bird - and ME from 1985. And they can be ridiculously too long too, when they are not "shorts" anymore - but "longs". I don't want to walk around with Capri pant like shorts either. Can't we get this right? Short that are just right? We've had it right for like 30 years now, let's not blow it - again! This is not rocket science. We're talking about shorts for cryin' out loud.
It's the rare individual that wants to see any dude running around the area with short shorts. We don't need "incredibly hairy thigh guy," (I mean, who's that hairy?) we don't need "material lost in the folds guy," and we don't need "unfortunate large gap, sorry I saw that guy." I thought we had rid ourselves of those guys forever. Some things are just better left alone. Golf shorts, casual shorts, just shorts, are one of them.
