When did "booty shorts" as outerwear become popular for girls to wear?

[Anonymous]

I'm talking about the extremely short ones that fit similar to the underwear where they are really tight and kind of ride up the girl's thigh on the side just at butt level and are even shorter on the sides.

For some reason I just started noticing the difference between girls wearing just the really short leg ones and the ones like this that kind of ride up their thigh. If you think about it, they kind of just look like underwear posing as jeans.

I figure they've probably been around since Dukes of Hazard, but when did these start becoming a common fashion trend for girls? I know it's a weird question, but I always wonder weird stuff like that. I don't remember noticing the difference much.

Also girls, which kind do you wear when you go out? The regular short shorts, or more of the booty short style?

I'm not sure, but I'm literally embarrassed for them sometimes, haha! They don't look good, to me, even on beautiful bodies. They look ridiculous, like she's trying too hard.

I'd never be caught ANYWHERE in those, even at home. If I want to run around in my underwear, I do that, haha!

I wear longer shorts, mid-thigh usually.

I don't get the point of them. They might as well wear panties.

And the ones where the girls butt hangs out? Uh

[Anonymous]

Im not really into them honestly.I think its pretty tacky.

[Mionysus]

As long as there is no exposure of butt crack or camel toe I think there is no harm no foul.

Sometimes we just have to channel our inner whores, and really short shorts seem to do this.

Things in fashion and dignified standards change; even Miley Cyrus was once Hannah Montana!

I don't think there has been a time since the Dukes that there weren't some girls wearing these. I haven't noticed that they are particularly more common lately!

Cut off short jean short shorts were worn by most girls when I was in middle school back in the 90s. I'm sure they were wearing them before that as well...

[Stacyzee]

Don't know.

But girls who wear those look slutty and then complain when they get the wrong attention.

[davdus]

Amen

My girlfriend and her family wear too without any embarrassing and some occasions exposure of Butt.
I appreciate and approve.

[NatalieKeller95]

I wear the booty short style, I like it it's comfortable, it doesn't show off my ass checks completely though, it leaves them covered a little

[soe11]

My girlfriend wear but exposure of ass, but I like she wear.

Mid 60's. They were called 'hot pants' at the time.

[CrimsonAngel09]

Regular short shorts.

I don't want my ass hanging out.

[theblondeguy]

ive seen it since like I can remember going to school it really peaked in like 05 - 07 tho...

[Mansearching]

Not sure. But on some girls they look great. Others not so much bc they end up looking like thongs.

[soe11]

I don't know about that, but my girlfriend is fan of Booty shorts, wear two or three times a week.
Bit of butt hanging out with crop top.

[barn_stormer]

[Staximus]

Unfortunately those went out of style with the women here a few years ago

[convo_king89]
