Very short shorts are back for younger straight guys?

At the gym for the first time in ages. The 20 yr old crowd are wearing very short shorts. Their dads - my preference- are in basically culottes.

Love short shorts on guys.

Good. No more excuses for skipping leg day because your billowing pantaloons are covering your scrawny ass and chicken legs.

Shorter short are ALWAYS more fashionable. You shouldn't ever got past 5-7 inches for inseam, unless you are obese in which case don't wear shorts!

Yay!

I’ve noticed that at my gym as well. I hope they bring back those classic high school gym shorts we had to wear in gym class; elastic waist, silk screened high school mascot, cotton/poly. Yum.

We need more fat Eldergays in short shorts. It's a good look.🤨

They REALLY look good on guys who have very hairy legs.

Yes, OP. They want to show off the work they've put in the gym. I'm all for it!

Long shorts on guys have been out of style for a while now. It's not just the gays who are wearing short shorts anymore.

Where the hell have you been? The short shorts have been coming back the past few years. Last summer I saw so many short shorts on younger dudes. They seemed to be much shorter than even the summer before. What a great trend. Let's enjoy it while it lasts.

AIDS resulted a horrible big n baggy anti-male body aesthetic that dominated the 80s/90s. Places like urban outfitters are trying to bring back this look and the clothes are cheap, ugly, and uncomfortable. This short shorts trend needs to annihilate this other bullshit homophobic one.

Baggier clothes started in hip hop and crossed over to mainstream with hip hop in the 80s and 90s.

I've always found the shorts male gymnasts wear to be the sexiest shorts ever on a man. They used to have elastic in the cuffs to keep their undergarments from showing, but I notice now they've removed the elastic around the legs which tends to give a show at times. I'm just glad they never made them longer and looser like that hideous basketball shorts.

That's probably one of my favorite past times, watching an attractive unassuming guy in public with strong hairy legs, I subtley eyeball him and enjoy the free show of him coming and going. Men are so sexy here in New Orleans, must be the heat and humidity of the long summers...I thoroughly enjoy it, and appreciate them for it, thanks guys!

Shorts with a 4”-5” inseam look best on men who know how to perform deadlifts or Good Mornings. A defined outer sweep and beefy inner quads distract me.
