The culture of wearing shorts goes back a couple of centuries into history. Previously, they were worn only by boys, and even those could not wait for the moment when they would be allowed to get rid of children's uniforms. Maybe that's why some models on adult men still seem frivolous and stupid to us.
What can we say about the fashion of the 70s, which, we hope, will never return for anything. Excessively short shorts in no way painted their owner, rather the opposite.
