70s fashion was a turning point in the whole history of trends. With new materials, sewing techniques, and inspirations available, the 70s gave us space dresses, vinyl jumpsuits, various hallucination-inducing patterns, and double denim in men's fashion. Another thing that the decade gave us is short shorts that were often sported not by long-legged ladies but by men.
The men's shorts trend might've had to do with the whole free love vibe of the 70s when strolling around half-naked wasn't so shocking. But, of course, aesthetics is a whole another question, as the hairy legs and a casual butt cheek peek-a-boo from your gym shorts might not seem as pleasing today.
Below, we have compiled the most outrageous examples of this men's fashion trend. In it, you'll find everything from dodgy denim numbers and terribly tight tear-offs to suspiciously skimpy sports shorts for men and lady-killing khaki cut-offs. Oh, and bloke bulges. Lots of bloke bulges. Don't say we didn't warn you!

I honestly don't see why anyone has a problem with it! As a girl, I love short shorts (not the one short enough to show your bum from personal preference) - they feel so freeing and comfortable when its hot out. It is just legs after all! Short shorts for everyone is a win win!
The probelm with short shorts on men is that sonetimes a ball escapes....
Load More Replies...Ok, there is obviously something wrong with me, because I just loved these pics!! Short shorts for men again!!!
While not everything needs (or should) come back, I really enjoyed seeing all those guys barefoot. It just made those pictures seem like everything is all-right with the world and lent a relaxed atmosphere. Though the Adidas-shorts should have never seen the light of day
Why ? Those Adidas shiny shorts, were unbelievably SEXY on men with the good legs as I had them and still have them!!
