Posts with tag short shorts

Look out people, it's that time once again. Time for warm weather, skimpy outfits, and horny dudes in cars whistling at women as they pass by on the street. Yup, now it's official. According to a researcher at George Washington University, the number of women getting harassed/flattered by catcalling goes through the roof in the spring and early summer. Of course -- if you happen to be a woman -- you probably already knew that.

We're not sure if it actually an ingrained human response to mating season, or just the fact the it's been a few months since most of these guys got to see a woman in a tank top. Whatever the reason, if you happen to like getting yelled at by sweat construction workers- and apparently some women do -- now's the time to prance around in those short shorts.

If you live in NYC, you have a way to get revenge on catcalling meat-heads, it's a website where women snap pictures of the abusers and post them. Hilarious!

Men of the world, please listen to me: I don't want to see your upper thigh -- and, chances are, nobody else wants to gawk at your hairy, flabby man stems either.

Yet some runway designers (and even some men's fashion blogs) are advocating a return to the kind of revealing menswear that's best left to the 1970s. Now that the spring looks we saw on runways last fall are finally making their way to the street, expect to see a little more leg from your fashion-forward buddies.

But never fear: you don't have to join this trend. There's plenty of ways to look good, stay cool, and avoid dressing like some annoyingly endogenous, American-Apparel style hipster. So have some self respect, damnit, and check out five more modest options that offer a more manly amount of coverage.
