The origin of shorts can be traced back to the 17th century when culottes, also known as short pants, gained popularity. These garments were favored by the European aristocracy, while commoners were required by law to only wear long trousers. This disparity eventually played a role in the French Revolution, as the "sans-culottes," meaning "without culottes," rose up against the bourgeois aristocracy. Following the revolution, the upper class began wearing long pants, leaving only shortened pants for children. These culottes eventually evolved into the prototype for shorts, which emerged two centuries later.
During World War I, Great Britain established its headquarters on the Bermuda Islands. The English soldiers, experiencing the subtropical climate, suffered from the heat and decided to cut their wool pants above the knees. The locals embraced this concept, dubbing the shortened pants "bermudas." In the early 1930s, shorts gained popularity in beach fashion and became a common choice for outdoor activities and sports. In 1932, during the World Championship in the United States, British tennis player Bunny Austin made a statement by wearing flannel shorts instead of the usual white trousers. Gradually, shorts made their way onto city streets, being worn not only by athletes but also by ordinary individuals. In America, shorts became a distinctive feature of Boy Scouts, while in England, they became part of the uniform for students attending private schools. With time, shorts became everyday attire, and it is rare to find a place in the world where wearing shorts is prohibited.
