Shorts --so called
because they are a shortened version of trousers -- are a garment worn by both men and women
covering the upper part of the upper legs or more, sometimes extending
as far as mid-calf, but not covering the entire length of the leg,
either as outer or undergarment.
Today, shorts are worn by either sex from birth through old age without any
stigma attached. In many countries there are few formal settings where wearing
shorts would be acceptable, as they are considered casual wear.
Examples of shorts include :
Hot pants: are short, tight shorts, usually made of cotton, nylon, or
other common material.
Jean shorts: Made out of denim,
Lederhosen: Traditional German leather shorts.
Leather shorts: Shorts made from leather.
Plaid shorts: fabricated woven of differently colored yarns in a crossbarred
pattern.
Running shorts: used in sports activities.
Baggies: Loose fitting shorts which reach the knees.
Board shorts: A combination of shorts and a bathing suit
Cycling shorts: Skin-tight shorts
originally worn by cyclists
Dolphin shorts: An athletic style of shorts, notable for visible binding
Gym shorts: worn in gym class or for participation in
sports, at the front to
tighten the waist.
Bermuda shorts Knee-length shorts commonly worn in Bermuda as business
attire
Boyshorts: Similar to boxer briefs, but for females.
Bun huggers: Short, tight, athletic shorts also known as "racing briefs",
Cargo shorts: Typically khaki shorts with cargo pockets.
Cut-offs: Home-made by cutting the legs off trousers, typically jeans, above the
knee.
Short shorts: refers to
the 1960ies shorts or to older style of tight basketball shorts
Slackettes: shorts having two legs extending no further than mid-knee.
Shants or Shankles.
Zip-off shorts: A pair of long pants that zip off at the knee,
Culottes: A divided skirt resembling a pair of loose-cut shorts
Boxer shorts: Mainly used as male underwear.
In Africa, the Middle East and much of Asia -- while it is common for boys to wear shorts
-- the wearing of shorts by adults is
less common due in part to moral and social taboos regarding the
perceived sexually suggestive nature of exposing the female legs.
