Shorter shorts?

[fredg545]

Are shorter shorts coming into fashion, I've been seeing shorter swim trunks being worn more often, and occasionally some shorter gym shorts worn by guys. Im talking about soccer short length, an inch or two above the knee.

IDK, there are for me. I mean, I wear shorter shorts than that for working out in. And I'm getting some swim trunks shorter than that too. I don't like longer shorts, just because they get in my way, in both working out and swimming

Well... it's an interesting question, because you have to remember that what is "in style" for teens is often very different than that which is in style for everyone else. In terms of general fashion, shorts that are slightly above the knees are generally the most normal fashion. Maybe not as short as soccer shorts, but generally an inch.

However, most teenagers aren't into shorter shorts for general use, no (athletics, it can vary a little more). The opposite, really.

@ ray: yeah thats what i was thinking too, i think this year most guys will be wearing shorter swim trunks at least. And i've seem some shorter for working out.Im thinking like half way down the thigh for swim trunks and a little longer for workout shorts. You agree?

Hey Fred. There is nothing wrong with those shorts, they are sharp. In my area they have become more popular for a year or two. Older brothers wear them all day in the summer.My parents and uncles actuyally won't let us wear those baggy jobs, just too sloppy looking.

kinda going off Tj's comment, how long do you think it'll take this trend to catch on with most guys
