Shorts
garment for the lower body ending above the knee / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shorts are short length trousers or pants that reach only to the upper part of the legs or more, but do not cover the entire leg. They are worn by both men and women. Shorts are worn either as outer garments or as underwear. They are called "shorts" because they are a shortened version of trousers (as they are called in British English, or pants in American English) which cover the entire leg.
Why people wear shorts:
- Fashion – appearance, attractiveness
- Practical – cool, light weight, allows for ease of movement; sportswear
- Uniform – decided by the organisation the wearer belongs to
