How shorts for Men’s were discovered

Interestingly, shorts did not show up in acceptable casual wear until the early 1950’s. The years before that, men’s shorts went through an evolution process of style and terminology. In the early 19th and 20th century, you could hear a smattering of English words to describe shorts, or shortened pants, as they were perceived to be. “Knickerbockers”, “knee pants” and “short pants” were popular terms that were used, based on their length and fit of the piece.

Obviously, there was a predominant boyish association with shorts, as that was and remains the standard uniform staple for school going boys. Grown men were not used to wearing shorts normally, outside of hotter climates, until World War II. The need for comfort in high temperatures and a strict rationing of cloth forced an issuance of military style shorts for soldiers.

In the post-war years, men’s shorts were restricted to leisure and sports activities. The boundaries beyond were not stretched farther than the courts these men played in. And even sports shorts underwent a major shift from boxer-style to longer mesh ones seen in 1980s. Even after the Hollywood biggies started championing shorts, it took a long time for it to be a “normal” outfit option.

Now, there are no such cultural restrictions on when, where and who can wear shorts. While they provide a necessary respite from the summer heat, shorts are like godsend in hikes, trails, and swimming. Not to mention, they can be styled with just about anything you have. Koovs’ wide collection of shirt, jackets and t-shirts for men should help you curate the best outfit to go with your shorts.

• Beach shorts: The beach is where you can get away with wearing those daring styles you would otherwise let sit in your wardrobe. Beach shorts come in a variety of style and fabrics.

Cotton shorts in statement prints like paisley, stripes and checks are most preferred way of dressing for a beach party.
