Shorts are a type of modern shortened trousers that are a comfortable and stylish piece of clothing for adults and children. The history of this item of clothing goes back to the 16th century, when European soldiers were actively colonizing the islands of the New World. The arriving colonialists wore classic military uniforms with camouflage pants, but Bermuda greeted its new residents with hot and humid weather, so the soldiers were forced to roll up their trousers to their knees. Sweltering from the heat, the officers asked management to reconsider the styles of military uniforms and, as an exception, allow island residents to shorten their trouser sizes. Conservative British authorities refused, so shorts were not used for another three centuries.

Only in the first half of the 20th century, instead of classic camouflage equipment, soldiers and officers were allowed to wear trousers cut 2-3 palms above the knees. The reason for these changes was the economic crisis, which required saving on fabric. These clothes were called “Bermuda shorts” in honor of Bermuda.

Quite quickly, shortened trousers gained popularity among all island residents, and with the advent of tourists on the islands, Bermuda shorts scattered all over the globe.

Shorts appeared on Russian territory in 1910. They became everyday clothing for pioneers, but it was considered indecent for adult men and women to bare their legs, so only children could wear shorts at that time.

In the 30s of the last century, shorts became the everyday wear of foreign athletes - this is how tennis players became the trendsetters of a new sports fashion. Ordinary residents also began to wear these clothes every day, not only for walks, but also for work, but this fashion lasted less than 10 years.

Already in 1942, European countries called shorts a vulgar and indecent wardrobe item. They were only allowed to be worn by athletes on sports grounds and cyclists within the city.

The Thai authorities have officially stated that no Thai has the right to wear shorts, and Thai women dressed in such clothes are “night priestesses of love.”

Despite all sorts of bans and fines, pop stars and some film actors continued to wear ultra-short shorts, showing off their half-naked bodies.

During the era of the emergence of American hippies in the 60s, many representatives of this subculture wore prohibited clothing on purpose, openly promoting the values ​​of freedom of choice.

After another fashion revolution in the 70s, shorts are regaining popularity. Sexy dancing and bright outfits come into fashion; shorts are shortened to the minimum size and worn by everyone whose figure and self-confidence allow it.

In Russia, the thing described gained popularity only after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In the mid-90s, anyone could go abroad or buy the clothes they liked at home. Nevertheless, even now, in the era of democracy and free morals, you rarely see short shorts here, and they are mostly worn by teenagers. The older generation wears such clothes outdoors or on vacation.
