Mens Extreme Short Shorts

From LoveToKnow Men's Fashion

Amongst every athlete’s closet filled with men’s jogging suits and men’s pocket tee shirts lies the need for a pair of men’s extreme short shorts for activities that warrant unrestricted movement and freedom. Even men’s fashion has a way of repeating itself. Magnum P.I. was known for his tropical shirts famously paired with short inseam shorts, and the eighties wouldn’t seem as sweet without sweatbands and a few pairs of snug track shorts. For comfort’s sake, it’s practical to wear short shorts on many suitable occasions. With eighties fashion making a roaring comeback, it’s time to celebrate men’s hotpants and give it up to the man who’s not afraid to wear them.

Nature is Calling

When Mother Nature heeds her call to sport enthusiasts, it's time to hit the open road with freedom and unbound spirit. Men’s extreme short shorts are perfect for biking, hiking and trailblazing during intense summer heat and humid weather conditions. Rather than sport a pair of men’s cutoff shorts, don a pair of extreme shorts for full range of movement while keeping cool.

Why Short Matters

There are plenty of shorts available for outdoor and indoor activities. Moisture wicking fitness fabrics along with vented active wear apparel help to regulate body temperatures while keeping the body cool. However, too much fabric can make certain movements near impossible. Bending or contorting the body to aid in restricted movement can obviously result in injury, pain, or both. Play it safe and wear the right apparel for the sport. Ditch the baggy trousers and prepare to suit up for the following active sports, which may require the wearing of short shorts.

  • Yoga and stretching
  • Meditation
  • Pilates
  • Biking
  • Hiking
  • Canoeing
  • Tennis
  • Field and Track
  • Aerobics
  • Dancing
  • Ballet
  • Gymnastics
  • Wrestling

The Long and Short of It

Although short shorts are perfect and quite fitting for several sport enthusiasts, there are many times short apparel may border on inappropriate, if not impractical, to wear. Use caution under the following circumstances:

  • Social events
  • Restaurants or Country Clubs
  • Horseback riding
  • Winter or extreme outdoor temperatures
  • Hiking in insect infested areas
  • Camping

How to Wear Them

Short shorts don’t have to be a fashion faux pas. The best advice for wearing a tight pair of pants is to wear a loose silhouette on top. Opt for fitness mesh tanks or hilarious tee shirts to keep your look casual and spirited. Many yoga-clothing designers offer screen-printed tanks with unique symbols that will add an organic and hip vibe to your look.

For certain sport activities, you may find matching sets of tanks and shorts that will coordinate well and work as an outfit. Make sure undergarments are hidden under inseams and opt for fitted, seamless briefs to avoid unwanted lines.

For added movement, search for shorts with a bit of spandex or stretch. Not only will they offer a custom fit, they’ll hold up better wear after wear, making them a wiser investment in the long run.

Tip: Always use your best judgment when wearing a pair of short shorts. It’s best to cover up when in doubt to avoid embarrassing or uncomfortable situations.

Where to Buy Men’s Extreme Short Shorts

If you’re off on a jaunt for short shorts, check local athletic wear retailers for the best active apparel selection. Yoga studios often offer a wide range of comfortable cotton meditation shorts that are cropped and breathable. Most men choose to size up when wearing short shorts to avoid a fitted silhouette. If purchasing an all cotton pair of shorties, make sure you hang them to dry or use your low heat setting on the dryer to avoid excessive shrinking.

Hi Phil. It all depends on your personal preference and whether or not hairy legs interfere with riding comfortably, i.e. your hair gets caught in the shorts. If lasering is more comfortable for you, then by all means that's a perfect solution for you. Thanks for commenting!
