Traditional Running Shorts Making a Come Back

To my delight, I've noticed that men's running shorts are in fact getting shorter these days.

Here in San Francisco, there are a couple of jogging paths (one in Golden Gate Park and the other along the waterfront) and amazingly, about 1/2 the guys are now wearing "Marathon" shorts which are at least mid-thigh and some are even shorter.

I haven't been to the pool lately, however I hope the shorter look is catching on for swim suits too!!! :mrgreen:

On the subject of general athletic wear, it looks like wrestling suits are getting shorter too!!!

Shorter Swimsuits are coming back. If you go to a Hollister or an American Eagle you'll notice they're at least above the knees. The fashion places are at least trying to push shorter trunks on the teenagers, but I haven't seen it catching on.

I suspect the shorter look is catching on more with adults (ages 20 +) who are more comfortable with their body and emotions.
