"To find true elegance, as is the case with most things, we must go back in time. Style-wise, the golden years of tennis were the Seventies, and the influence of this decadent decade is back with a vengeance- think Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors. These were spit and swadust dudes. They had torsos like He-Man and yet they donned the shorts of Christopher Robin. An oxymoronic vision granted, yet it looked so, so right."
However this magazine also presents a fashion shoot called Desert Storm which shows a few young men in....very stylish short shorts, albeit ridiculously priced. However that is the point because where the rich go today, the rest of us follow tomorrow. This spread indicates a sea change in attitude towards the stylish look of guys in well fitted short shorts.
I hope this summer to see some fit lads donning them.

Yes.
Actually yesterday early evening as Pete and I were coming home we saw a couple of young teens, I'd guess - off to play in a junior football league and they both had excellently short black soccer shorts which were clearly part of their strip. And his is in provincial England.
This is all a million times better than those awful knee warmers!
Goodness! It might even we worth watching Wimbledon again!
That's good to hear; those long ones are horrible and impractical. Rugby lads have had it better over the last few years but then rugby kit (older and more modern) is generally more appealing.
I agree about Rugby kit, Daniel - there's something so appealing about short shorts on bulgingly-firm thighs.... but it looks as though it might be a better Summer, if the fashion forecast is correct!
Hopefully it'll be a hot summer to encourage the wearing of such too...:)
Daniel I agree this ideas for shorts,thisa posts is a very nice, and very good shorts boys....
