In the 19th and early 20th centuries, shorts were incepted as the choice of bottoms for young boys till they became adults. Women only started wearing shorts as part of their sports and swimming attire around the 1920s. It wasn’t till the 1950s that the shorts began to be considered as acceptable clothing for daily wear. What was always considered a piece of clothing for little boys till they reached a certain age, rose up the ranks to a chic bottom wear option for women too.
Before the 1950s, wearing shorts outside of the beach or tennis court was an act of rebellion. An era where women were being condemned for wearing trousers, there were many who chose to bare their legs and step out wearing shorts. It took almost two decades to normalize wearing these bottoms, especially during the warmer days of summer. Loose fitting and the longer Bermuda shorts were very popular among women until the ‘hot pants’ rained down in the 1970s. Since then, the shorts have been created, broken down and reimagined into styles like cycling, boards, jorts, skorts and much more.
