Shorts are the most comfortable and practical clothes. They entered the women's wardrobe quite recently, but managed to win the recognition of all the fair sex. Classic shorts have been especially popular for many years.
How women's classic shorts appeared
Classic women's shorts appeared only at the end of the 20th century. As you know, at all times women wore only dresses or long skirts. And only Coco Chanel decided to make a revolution in women's fashion and dressed the ladies in pants. And the idea to shorten women's trousers came from military style. The fact is that in hot countries, soldiers wear medium-length shorts instead of pants. They perform almost the same function as regular pants, but with a shorter length, they are easier to bear in the heat.
Many designers enthusiastically supported this decision and used it in their collections of women's clothing. This is how the classic women's shorts appeared.
Now this element of the wardrobe is very popular and does not lose its relevance after many years.
What classic cut shorts look like
Classic shorts for women are a shortened version of simple trousers. Therefore, outwardly they look like regular pants, but only much shorter. This is the main feature that distinguishes women's classic shorts. Photos of standard models are presented below.
All models must have a zipper and a button or button, as well as a pair of inside pockets on the front. There may be more pockets on the back depending on the design. The cut of these shorts is simple: straight legs of medium length. Some models may have arrows. But mostly designers wear classic shorts without this detail to give them more versatility, as ruffles are only suitable for business attire and are not always appropriate for creating a simple everyday look.
