The subversive, suggestive and skimpy garment has made a comeback during lockdown thanks to Paul Mescal and Harry Styles

Men’s short shorts, an item of clothing forever caught in the crosshairs of a sartorial culture war between subversive and suggestive and retroactively rugged , are enjoying a renaissance.

Because it's summer. Far too hot for trousers.

Who cares. We love it 😍

Why such a discussion ?

it's comfy that way.

World: International outrage over institutional corruption The guardian: men are showing their thighs?!?! Look at timothee chalamet!!!😱😱😱

To make women want to throw up

Maybe they're gay

What is your point?

Their wifes give them advice

Why is the Grauniad publishing this crap?

Because it has been surprising bloody hot weather throughout Lockdown so far. If you can get out, show a leg

Because the fashion industry both explicitly and insidiously promotes constant changes in fashion to sell more clothes.

I wish they'd value their brains as sexual devices as well as their bodies

I’ve got great legs. Everyone says so. Very masculine.

The important topic of our times

Sexist article!

Wow! So, objectification of men is okay?

The hard hitting headlines

Because nice legs are always a welcomed sight.

Been hot hasn’t it

It’s an optical illusion. They’ve actually just stopped wearing socks!

Who gives a flying f**k quite honestly!!

More? Have people seen shorts in the 70s?

It's a bit like sandals with socks, isn't it?

I suppose I should be pleased that for a change the debate is about mens fashion choices. Frankly, you can all wear what you like (like me), I couldn't (and never did) care at all!

This is not a thing

Why not?

More like a Cosmo article 🤔

OnnMatthew

how about using your fashion column for something more interesting and necessary like sharing black owned brands and also holding racists brands accountable? people are handing to you two subjects that can guarantee you way more than just two articles

Why not?

Climate change. It's warmer.

Trousers fuckin hot m8

Alexis Sánchez trendsetter

Wow short on stories?

Finally! Fassion sensible again. Shorts down to the knees just made men look like boys in short pants. 🤣

Could it be that long shorts and the invisibilty of the penis seem primordial to the under-30s? I just wish my culottes had more balls-room!

For gender equality.

Only guardian readers! Because they are in tune with their feminine side?

How is this news

Because we can...

Hoping they're not showing something else.

If u have it,flaunt it...Isn’t that a no brainer

Why not?

Because for girls the standard of leg shape is muchhhh harsher, I've been trapped in a strong inferiority for more than ten years due to my leg shape. And also as the result of involution, men have thiner legs.

is there only one 'men'?

Because it’s hot outside. Duh!

This is not new

Buzz lightyear knee caps

The world is on fire and u MFers are talking about man shorts ?!!!!? WTF

It’s still better than flaunting cleavage 😏

Heating.

Why not? Men always wore shorts... Maybe you at 'theguardian' have got issues....

only acceptable with good quad development and seperation

Er...The sun is out....😲🙄🤣

Erm...you need very *supportive* underwear I am informed

Because bitches love a bit of he-shin!

Because the world is burning up, geniuses.

Mens legs are longer - mostly !!!!!

E-Boys on TikTok

Why shouldn't they?🤔

My knees look weird. I have weird knees, but great calves. WHAT TO DO?

Who cares?

Because real men wear short shorts! RUGBY

I just had an Ewww moment

Why is this an article

Because short shorts with belly over is a fashion thing. Don't judge us.

Wonder if it is anything to do with the sunniest spring on record. Even I put on (longish) shorts much to my familys amazement/horror

I don't know. I've noticed it myself. I'm not sure what's gained by it...

I totally support men showing more leg if thats what they feel comfortable doing.

😂😂 really

The vaccines are DNA changing, to feminize men?

We, the more amply blessed, prefer the longer leg.

Up next, “make waxing industry is booming.”

Why not?

Here in South Africa it is normal for us men, even in winter we wear our shorts. Boer shorts living is the best

johnhamiltonnyc just saying ;)

look at 60s and 70s NBA

If this is true its wonderful! I have some shorts that are practically falling apart they are so old because I refuse to replace them with knee-length clown shorts, but you can't buy anything else! Some 'shorts' you see are so long they might as well be plus-4s! Absurd!

They have pretty legs. You should see some of the ones that are out down here. (Florida)

We have more important convos then this

Asking for it, right?

Because, like anyone, they should be allowed to wear whatever they want without fear of judgement via rather pointless articles.

Because you can’t top the sight of my curvaceous, hairy pins😈

This seems important 🙄

As a woman prefer longer short. More comfortable, less ride-up.

I’ve been employing the long sleeve short shorts look at home. Didn’t realize I could get away with it in public.

Simlpy because They like wearing short shorts 🙄
