SHORT SHORTS for MEN AND WOMEN.

 Short shorts from the past to the present.

Short shorts are called "shorts" because they are a shortened version of pants, which cover the entire leg.

They are typically worn in warm weather or in an environment where comfort and airflow are more important than the protection of the legs.

There are a variety of shorts such as, low or high waist, knee-length or under the butt cheeks, high or low cut, short pants that can be worn as formal or casual clothes or beachwear and athletic.

Some types of shorts are typically worn by women, as in the case of culottes, which are a divided skirt resembling a pair of loose-cut shorts.

In 19th and early 20th centuries, in Europe and the Americas, shorts were worn as outerwear only by young boys until they reached a certain height or maturity.

After the boys got older, typically around puberty, they would receive their first pair of long trousers. This produced the perception that shorts were only for young boys.

The men would not wear shorts to avoid looking immature.

Now it's normal for most women to wear shorts, but back then women tended not to wear shorts in most cultures, due to social mores, because they were expected to wear dresses, or skirts and blouses.

 Short shorts are also now casual cloth that con be worn to a party.

Women and men train in them for different sports and activity.
