Milo Ventimiglia – the star of This Is Us – often goes unnoticed in the fashion field. However, through the photo recording the moment the actor left the practice room in short shorts last month, the online community noticed him.

Chris Kyvetos – shopping director at Mytheresa – said: “Today, in the aftermath of the pandemic and months of embargo, fashion is driven more by an active dressing mindset. of ultra-short pants is a prime example”. To serve the needs of the “gods” and keep up with the trends, many brands such as Dior Men, Etro, Bottega Veneta, Ami or Zegna are also involved in creating shorts. Photo: Dior. Although this pants shape is quite simple, you can still combine it the wrong way. Footwear is the first factor to keep in mind. It is a popular item but should be considered when paired with shorts. For example, ankle boots with mini shorts will definitely not go well. The formula with sneakers is the ideal choice. Photo: The Guardian. The next important thing is that your shirt is not too long because it will cover your butt and make your legs look shorter. Also, follow the dress code and avoid wearing these pants on occasions that require a lot of attention. As many parts of the world return to work culture, you should leave shorts at home.

However, the design fell into disrepair in the 1990s when a culture of casual dress and grunge mixed with hip hop took the throne.

There’s nothing wrong with people wanting to show off their bodies in a positive way,” SCMP said.

The shorts are only about 18-23 cm long, once the representative style of the ridiculous, like to show off as the humorous TV character Alan Partridge played by actor Steve Coogan. However, celebrities like Ventimiglia, actors Dwayne Johnson, Paul Mescal and singer Harry Styles have all recently worn these pants.

Men show off their thighs Since the outbreak of the pandemic, social media has been flooded with short shorts and campaigns in favor of men wearing them. Appeared early last year, hashtag #5InchSeam received over 29 million views on TikTok. Promoted on social media and enthusiastically promoted by celebrities, ultra-short shorts are also starting to attract the attention of brands such as Dior Men, Etro, Bottega Veneta, Ami and Zegna.

George Archer, luxury online retailer Mr. Porter, said: “In fact, the pants were very popular in the market before that.” Archer added that the trend is becoming more widespread as more luxury brands start offering ultra-short pants – an extension of swimwear designed by major brands like Orlebar Brown. Chris Kyvetos, menswear shopping director at haute couture house Mytheresa, says all the ubiquity and influence of streetwear and activewear is also driving the trend. The pandemic outbreak and the trend of working from home have led to an explosion in demand for activewear for men and women over the past year. Moreover, millions of men around the world, who still maintain their exercise regime, go to the gym every day, are excited to show off their sexy thighs and calves as the travel restrictions are eased. . “Today, especially in the aftermath of the pandemic and the months of lockdown, fashion is driven more by ‘active thinking’. The recent rise of ultra-short pants is a prime example.” , Kyvetos said. Simple but easy to wear wrong The diversification of styles, materials, and designs of ultra-short shorts is also contributing to promoting the trend and attracting more attention from men. “Saint Laurent and Isabel Marant have introduced a number of denim shorts. There are also artisan, artisan versions from Bode and Jacquemus… In addition to the athletic shorts offered on Mr Porter, we also introduced many shorts from other fashion brands this summer, including Amiri, Casablanca …”, Archer said. Athlete Conor McGregor also quickly caught the trend of wearing super short pants. Photo: GQ. Meanwhile, Kyvetos noted that although ultra-short pants are a fairly simple item, it is easy to wear them the wrong way. “Shoes are an important element of men’s fashion in general, but with shorts it’s even more important. For example, ankle boots with super-short pants are definitely a bad combination.” . Archer added that the length of the shirt is also important because long dresses that go over the buttocks will make the wearer’s legs shorter. In addition, ultra-short pants are definitely not suitable for occasions that require formal, serious attire. Shorts are nothing new and like everything else in fashion, their popularity is cyclical. “And as many parts of the world begin to revert to the office culture, it’s best to just wear these shorts at home or at the gym,” says Archer.
