The word "shorts" for short pants came into being in 1920"s
when younger boys ages 2 to 8 begin to wear a wider leg style.
Senorita de Alvares
played tennis in a below the knee divided skirt in 1931. This set the stage for
Alice Marble to wear shorts in 1933 for a professional tennis match and helped
the acceptance of shorts in sporting events. But the first sight of tennis shorts
in public was on a man, Bunny Austin, who wore shorts at the 1932 U.S. Men"s Championships
at Forest Hills, New York.
Bermuda shorts were created at the beginning of the 20th century
by British military forces, not in Bermuda, in London! The British
military wanted their personnel appropriately, but lightly attired
for duty in tropical parts of the Empire!
Today shorts have grown into a fashion statement.
Boys and girls both sport shorts as casual wear and sports wear. Shorts are available
in different varieties and designs in an equally different variety of materials.
