Interesting - I've never seen them that short in real life. But apparently its a trend called underbum/underbutt. ![]() ![]() ![]() Personally it doesn't bother me and looks very much like the hot mamas 70s shorts you saw at and after Woodstock, but to each their own. ![]() |
The picture with that guy was just too much. Yuck. No hurry for that to some back. |

I just had to have a 'fun' conversation with some recent high school graduate interns on Monday regarding this trend.
Lesson learned: when hiring young people and you tell them they can dress casual (because they were hired to do grunt work & not interact with clients), be sure to specify that butt cheeks should NOT hang below the hem of the short. What made the conversation even more uncomfortable was that 4/7 interns have parents who work here. I can't imagine allowing my kid (yeah, yeah, I get that they are 17/18, but still) to leave the house and go to work with me with their ass cheeks hanging out! Annnnd to not be sexist or single anyone out, I got to have the conversation with all interns together (mixed sexes) and with senior HR present. Fun start to the week! And before anyone calls me grandma, I'm 32. I just prefer to keep my ass cheeks covered. |
Based on what I've seen in the past few weeks, weight issues aren't stopping anyone from wearing the shorts OP is talking about. |
FanTASTIC! This sounds like the trend for me. Especially with bikini bottoms. I'll stop worrying about coverage so much...... |
This can be completely blamed on Brazilian Wax trend. If there was fuzz between the bottoms... |
True. Some things cannot be unseen. ![]() |
+1 I laughed out loud at that "guy" in those shorts! LOL |
As a principal wrote in a memo, "If it slid on and off your body at the pool this summer, it's not appropriate professional attire for school." |
Male professional basketball players used to wear short shorts. Look at old pix of Larry Bird, Magic, Chamberlin, etc. Shorty short. |
And we have the right to comment on how stupid we think it looks. |
Shut it. |
As a non-single guy, I can't tell if I appreciate the eye candy or am annoyed at the constant reminders that I'm not allowed to have sex with other people |
