Peek-a-Boo Summer Shorts

[3113]

As jean legs got skin tight during Fall, so shorts for Summer have gotten shorter. The ragged, cut-off look is in (dangling threads essential) and the intent is to flash a bit of cheek. Not to have the butt cheeks falling out, but peeking out then vanishing--one side then the other--as the young lady walks. (That, at least, seems to be the intent. But not all such shorts or bodies succeed in achieving it--or, possibly, understanding that this is the intent, as the second picture there shows).

I haven't seen shorts this daring (in mainstream fashion) since hot pants. Thoughts?

Why I ain't seen daisy dukes like those since Daisy Duke whooped it up in the General Lee.

I saw a gal at the gas pumps yesterday wearing a pair of cut offs. She also wore a pink thong and I am 95% certain she shaves. I almost over filled my gas can. I've seen bikini bottoms that hid more than her shorts. I love summer!!!

Yes, it is the return of the Daisy Dukes, but I seem to recall DD's only being worn by models and cheerleaders and women on men's magazine covers, not the female population at large. This resurrection f them is a full on fashion trend that has all sorts of women wearing them (for better or worse).

It might have been a V-String--which is...wait for it...a thinner thong! I mean, come on! Do we have to have a new name to distinguish a thong which has a string rather than a ribbon's width of fabric up the back? And I have to wonder...why wear anything if your'e going to go for a V-String? It's barely there.

You live in the wrong part of the country. DD's have been around and worn by country girls in Texas longer than Daisy Duke is old. I remember them going back to the mid 60's.

Several in my thread - there is definitely a resurgence.

Oh, I'm sure. But it's not a fashion trend until the whole country is wearing 'em. Otherwise overalls would've always been a fashion trend because they're always worn in certain parts of the country

Not sure where you live, but in Southern California they are a staple of summer, and always have been. Cut-offs and a ribbed white tank top, over a bikini. So common it got boring in the 80s.

Heh. I think I've discovered a new favourite euphemism...

As long as the slim & shapely girls wear them and not something resembling the "two fat slags", we'll be ok.
(The TFS is from a UK comic called "Viz". )

Unfortunately HP they ALL seem to wear them, around here anyway. I guess we have to take the good with the bad. I have also noticed an uptick in sun dresses lately. Sun dresses and heels....droool.

I live in Southern CA and, no, they've not been a "staple" of EVERYONE. That's the point. Not whether some teens cut off the legs of their jeans and wear those shorts to the beach at summer, but whether designers are making then, the stores are selling them and every other woman, whether she ought to wear them or not, is wearing them everywhere.

That's when it transforms from just a boring thing a lot of people wear into a fashion trend--just like jeans which everyone wears, yet certain years those jeans become "fashion trends" because the fashion industry dyes them or designs them or frills them up--or, hey, puts holes in 'em (which was also boringly common, yet, hey, whadda know? It became a fashion trend! Did you miss that?), puts them in every store and sells them to everyone at inflated prices. And everyone wears them because they're "in" not just because they're good to wear to the beach with a ribbed white tee.

And by the by, the fashion trend isn't ribbed white tees. See girl above in black. Fashion trend is sleeveless tee that has very wide openings on the sides. That's what everyone following the trend is wearing.

We used to call them a 'Vest'.
Made of a soft wool material, they used to be called a "tank Top" over here are decade or so ago. My Mum knitted me a couple when I was a kid in the 50s.

Wow, you've got issues. I never said ribbed tank tops were part of YOUR fashion statement, I said they've always gone with cut-offs, but I gather only your opinion counts in your threads, so have at it.
