70s fashion was a turning point in the whole history of trends. With new materials, sewing techniques, and inspirations available, the 70s gave us space dresses, vinyl jumpsuits, various hallucination-inducing patterns, and double denim in men's fashion. Another thing that the decade gave us is short shorts that were often sported not by long-legged ladies but by men.
The men's shorts trend might've had to do with the whole free love vibe of the 70s when strolling around half-naked wasn't so shocking. But, of course, aesthetics is a whole another question, as the hairy legs and a casual butt cheek peek-a-boo from your gym shorts might not seem as pleasing today.
Below, we have compiled the most outrageous examples of this men's fashion trend. In it, you'll find everything from dodgy denim numbers and terribly tight tear-offs to suspiciously skimpy sports shorts for men and lady-killing khaki cut-offs. Oh, and bloke bulges. Lots of bloke bulges. Don't say we didn't warn you!

Really, Angela? Because I was about to comment that everything about this photo is so, so wrong. Funny.

When I hustled the streets back in Florida I dressed just like the bearded guy, minus the skates and got lots of business. Folks have to remember the 70's were what they were. Folks think this is gross or that is gross... well the way some of the chicks dress these days like prostitutes and dudes trying to look as butch as they can... now that's messed up. Be true to yourself and dress the way you want to dress. These folks look like they were having a great day skating around. If you wanna see a "freak show" got to the boardwalk down in LA. That'll shut you up about pics like this! lmao
The bloke with the 'Streaker' T-shirt actually appears to be streaking in his clothes! Eeww!!!
That 'stache on the right? Damn, I'm feeling all hot right now, and no, it's not because of the sun. So badass!!!
They all look good (I wear that sometimes), much better than what most men wear now are clam diggers, that looks gay and plus you can see thier boxers or underwear from the top or through the bottom since they are wearing too low or too baggy.
Eeeeek, & I lived through that era. But not with anyone who had the guts ? to wear these little pieces of cloth.
I was with a friend wearing a pair of these, when his family jewels decided to come out for a show. 😳
Why is it that the girls attire doesn't look any different to me....?
Any over40 dare to explain what striker practice consists of at sport events
His shirt should say "Virgin" because that entire get-up is sooooooo wrong!!!
If this picture was taken today, those things tucked neatly in their socks would have been mobile phones...
😲 I promise that I had a pink pair of those green shorts at the age of 4! (The Mrs.)
I wonder if they ever had the female version of a nip slip, the tip slip? lmao
Oh yeah, my old crowd. See what I meant about non gym muscles: cute!
Most People Don't Know This, But African Males Have A High Ratio Of Homosexuality (there is nothing wrong with being gay, or bi). This Is Why African's Compensate By Wearing Really Long Shorts, And Other Physical And Personal Compensations, So People Think That They Are Str8.
ocean pacific corduroy shorts...ah...I lived life in and out of those...beach, beach and more beach
the time when Mississippi flood swept away houses and everyone was still hippy so they all laughed and rode it all the way.

I Guess The Ladies Are Sexually Attracted To "Almost Daisy-Dukes" On Guys!
This is the 5th guy that looks just like my cousin Greg! Greg? That you?
Check out the text trying to justify this outfit! Hornes, there is NO excuse!!
I honestly don't see why anyone has a problem with it! As a girl, I love short shorts (not the one short enough to show your bum from personal preference) - they feel so freeing and comfortable when its hot out. It is just legs after all! Short shorts for everyone is a win win!
The probelm with short shorts on men is that sonetimes a ball escapes....

Ok, there is obviously something wrong with me, because I just loved these pics!! Short shorts for men again!!!
While not everything needs (or should) come back, I really enjoyed seeing all those guys barefoot. It just made those pictures seem like everything is all-right with the world and lent a relaxed atmosphere. Though the Adidas-shorts should have never seen the light of day
Why ? Those Adidas shiny shorts, were unbelievably SEXY on men with the good legs as I had them and still have them!!

Who is this Iveta idiot writing this article saying "we're glad the 70's are over". Who is we? The 70's were awesome as the photos show, NOT a "funny list of Fashion Fails". It seems everyone else enjoyed looking back on pics like these, so Iveta (whoever you are), go to hell!
Loved the fact that so many people were barefoot. It was such a different time - a bit more loving, a bit more innocent. Just a bit.
As someone who hate wearing anything on my feet and goes barefoot wherever possible and appropriate, I totally agree.

The 70s and early 80s were very "sexy" times. The clothes were tight and form fitting. They complimented the fitness trend. After that America got larger and wider...baggy jeans, board shorts, XL t shirts. It's time for a happy, healthy medium IMO.
Clearly this was before McD's, A&W, Wendy's and Carl's Jr were considered the 4 main food groups.
im not glad that hot pants for men aren't trendy atm but I'll change that
i personally think it's great for men to show off their bodies like they used to and not those god awful long a*s board shorts they wear now, men do have legs to show off you know i think this type of style should make a comeback
I really don't get what people find wrong with these shorts. I mean, they are better than what they call bermudas nowadays. Men now always look like they have a 5 pounds s**t in their pants, and half the time you have to look in the air or on the ground if you don't want to see their ugly underpants (when they even wear underpants...).
Love it and I wore them. Today I can't as gravity will bring things out of the pocket....lol For fit and younger guys it looks perfectly fine......
Is it weird that I still wear them? Screen-Sho...bbd66e.png 
In my younger days, teens and twenties, I was stopped all the time, by men and women that complimented my legs in my shortie shorts. More power to showing the thighs regardless of your sex, as long as YOU like it, doesn't matter what others think! WOOFS
Dang, I think this is a fashion trend that should be resurrected ASAP.
#2 is 100% not the 70s. That bike has a Potts modification and that didn't come out till the mid 80s
So, let me get this straight: if it's a girl wearing them, it'ok, it'sexy, it's pretty; if it's a boy or a man, it's horrible, hideous, etc?
There are men who have much nicer legs than women, with their oranges thick legs!! Are you that prudish??

Now these are pictures of ordinary people. Has everyone noticed that virtually no one is suffering fork in mouth disease? Everyone looks relatively fit here.
People forget that men didn't wear shorts in public in the '70s as much as they do now, and when they did it was usually some sports-related or very casual occasion. Anyway, posterity certainly will have something to say about the droopy nylon gym drawers that the boys wear everywhere today.
Look at it this way: nearly all these people are engaged in some casual or sporting activity; it's not like they went to work dressed like that (except those cops who do look pretty comical). Most of them also are in reasonably good shape; people exercised in the '70s, and there wasn't the obesity epidemic there is today. Besides, what do you think posterity will say about your baggy nylon gym drawers and hoodies? What's really noteworthy about the era is not the shorts but the hair.

Men use to wear these shorts back in the early 80s and it didnt seem to bother a soul. Older men...younger men....dads, uncles ....etc all wore these shorts. Today, in the present God forbid you wear these shorts because people will ridicule you. Who decided that these shorts are now "Gay" and "Innappropiate " ..Women wear their skimpy outfits leaving zero room for your imagination and the world is fine...but oh no, if a man is seen with these shorts shorts, the world laughs , and mocks him. Eff all of ya'll
My dad still wears these sort of shorts! My favourite is the Aussie Rules footy players from the 70s-80s
No problem. If you can look good without being perverted, go for it. It's better than looking at trousers below your thinghs and underwear showing. (getto).
Um I think there awesome! And men should totally go back to the short shorts! There classic! And look so good and sexy as well. I'd wear them!
Many of these are swim suits, not shorts. Take those out and then there are three categories - gym shorts, jean cut offs (most popular in the 70s) and dress shorts (actual fewest amount of pictures here). I was a teen in the 70's and once we had holes worn in the knees of our jeans we would take scissors and turn them into shorts. Girls tended to cut them higher than the guys did.
I'm a guy, young-ish (30) and I won't wear anything but short shorts. You just can't beat the heat in those long baggy things that pass of as men's "shorts" these days.
I'm trying to understand the thinking behind #16... Longsleeve polo neck sweater with shorts... Although, I have to admit... some of these shorts look a bit hot on the guys.
#51 has got to be from a porno!! Hairy crotches and chests, yes please!!😂
Hmm, lol, well, I still prefer to leave a little to the imagination...much sexier.
Number 5 is DEFINITELY not from the 70s .... not bad ! .... But NOT from the 70s !
Those are my favorite kind and I still have and wear them. Problem is trying to find any new ones !!!
none of the shorts bothered me, it was the total lack of shirts and the females with no bras
I think they're great! I hate the baggie down below the knees c**p that men and boys where now. At least make them shorts not cropped pants or pedal pushers. By the way , that first photo looks like John Kennedy, Jr. he's really cute and the shorts are wonderful normal shorts!!
Has anyone noticed modern bicycling shorts? While they do have a long inseam, some voyeurs claim that they are so form fitting that an observer can see clues to the rider's religion.
I think that they are better than the ladies' bloomers and kids knickers that are worn today. They are also ecologically correct, requiring less air conditioning.
#23 can go but all the rest looked ... NICE. I can think of a few men today that I'd shamelessly objectify if they'd be so kind as to show up dressed as deliciously.
Thanks for the memories As a child of the 60's and 70's I still appreciate the images!!
I am puzzled that men nowadays are wearing "shorts" that are more like easily-carried tents, hiding everything from the gut to below the knees. Are present-day men ashamed of their bodies? Are they afraid that showing their bodies might make them gay (or straight!)? Or is there some other pestilence or social condemnation that forces them to hide? In any case, it seems that men have just as many body-issues as women, judging by these "shorts". And I note that the writer did NOT comment on the obvious, that women in the photos wore shorts that were just as short, and, often, did not worry about being braless - and that this did not seem to be a problem for the morality police.
Only when you are very very skinny and very very young do short shorts work. Doesn't last, but comfortable while.
Compared to the shorts that females wear today these men's shorts are so tame. Goodness knows how parents allow their daughters out in public dressed as whores.
these photos are great, they might be gone ... but the still exsist ...take a look at any UPS driver....never a dull moment.
No sure what you're on about ? Most of them are just normal length some are to short and gay looking but the pic's look normal length to me how long do you want shorts down to shin ? They are shorts after all and what is the right length then
I don't think this trend was ever forgotten. We have too many movies! I sure wish the porn stache trend was forgotten though!
What do I think? I think Americans have a problem with sex and sexuality and masculinity. Especially men, who forever live in terror that someone will think they're gay. These look no more ridiculous than shorts that go all the way down to the middle of a guy's calf. It's almost like they're wearing women's peddle-pushers. I think Americans like their men hunky and masculine and exposed but when actually confronted with it pretend to be disgusted or outraged or amused because that's what's expected of them. We are a weird mix of sexy and prudish and I don't get it. Bring on the shorts and the open shirts and the men. Go ahead and stare, I don't care.
What do I think? I think Americans are afraid of sex. I think Americans freak out at masculinity. I think American men in particular are terrified that someone might think they're gay. I think Americans like their men masculine and hunky and exposed but act like prudes when actually confronted with it. Bring on the shorts and the bulge and the open shirts: go ahead and stare, I don't care. Arnold looks great in them.
What...no scrimmage shorts?! Remember those, with the laced-up front that we wore for football pracrice?! Those, with a net half shirt were the S**T!! :D
I was a toddler when all dudes looked like this. I do not fear "The Romper"
These were great! I don't like all those "shorts" that come to just above the knee. They're much more like Capri pants for men. ;)
The story - part 2... I went in and tried put on that tiny bathing suit... it was skimpier than a pair of tighty whitey's. I came out of the changing room feeling more than a bit sheephish but she looked me up and down, unashamedly, and smiled. She moved closer, kissed me gently on the lips, and whispered "you are beautiful". I was blown away. I returned to the changing room and the modesty provided by my board shorts. When I came out, she was gone. I looked around for her and the cashier called me over. She said "The young lady paid for the trunks and offers them to you, with her compliments". I threw caution to the wind and wore those trunks for the remainder of my vacation. For the first time in my life, I had no body-image hangups. It was incredibly freeing. I hope to recapture that feeling again some day. Cheers!
The whole "board shorts" fad is what is silly. True story - I was in Rio, laying on the beach. An incredibly attractive woman was walking the beach in a bikini. She stopped by me, put her glasses on top of her head and asked me "You're American?" I replied that I was. She then asked "So tell me, why is it that American men insist on covering themselves with such ridiculously oversized shorts?" I said "I don't know, it's what's in style now, and I guess we pay too much attention to what other people think." She held out her hand and said "Come with me." I was not ABOUT to argue. She took my hand and led me across the street to one of the ever-present bathing suit stores (more frequent there than starbucks is here). She found a speedo that she said "matched my eyes" and asked me to go try it on. I said "If I put that on, I'm going to look like a 10 lb sausage in a 5 lb wrapper." She insisted. "Please try it on, for me.."
I don't see anything wrong with most of them. Tons of men wore cut off jeans and the short work out shirts were perfectly fine for exercising in.
Look at how little body fat they have compared to what you see today. It looks like the diet was better than and they were more active.
I bet this Fashion trend will totally make a come back! Women would love it!
All I can say is that when you take shorts that go below the knee and pair it with a t-shirt that could be worn as a dress, it is not a flattering look. It only accentuates that the wearer is overweight. Something all too common these days.
Feathered hair, short shorts and long tube socks... I remember those days!
Clearly the writer of this article has an issue with men in shorts. First of all, the 70's did not take shorts to "a new level". It may be new to her (she's revealing her young age), but actually it's more like "the old standard". Shorts are "shorts" because they're short. Khaki cargo shorts that hang down to the knee or longer are not, yet it's been the standard American uniform for every male for the past 25 years. Male legs are sexy, and to show them off is not "feminine" as younger society may accuse. Popular street fashion needs to break out of the same boring mold it's been stuck in, and give the guys a refreshing break. Bring back the TRUE shorts!!!
to the beat of 'My Humps' : What ya gonna do with all that thigh!? All that inner thigh my guy!?
To the beat of 'My Humps' : Whatcha gonna do with all that thigh? All that inner thigh my Guy!?
I always find it interesting how popular fashion trends are like a pendulum. They go out of style for years only to re-emerge. For example rompers and jumpsuits are very much back in style now. Only time will tell if these booty shorts for men will come back into style.
