Summer is a season of subtraction, of revelation. Hot temperatures yield fewer clothes and thus more skin. In recent years, shorts have been getting smaller, shorter, more abbreviated. Men like Donald Glover, Paul Mescal, Harry Styles, and Connor Storrie have all been the very embodiment of that seasonal thesis in their thigh-revealing shorts (or “slutty little shorts,” to borrow GQ’s parlance) that make a meaty showcase of their toned quads. Labels like Prada, Tom Ford, and Saint Laurent, meanwhile, have pushed the very limits of propriety by showing itty-bitty little shorts on their runways, sometimes little more than a wisp of fabric. We were living in a golden age of tiny shorts.
