Surf Board Shorts
Board Shorts
Board shorts have become all the rage since they first hit America in the 60’s. If you remember before then the beach apparel for men and women had little to be desired with options such as speedos and swimming costumes that came down to you’re your thighs. Board shorts took the world by storm for many reasons, one because they were practical beach wear and two because they were really funky and cool looking even to the point where even if you weren’t going to the beach you would wear them in nice weather.
Designed and developed by two surfers they made a style of short that was perfect for surfing and beach wear. They made it into everything that the regular short wasn’t and everything that annoyed them about wearing regular shorts while on the beach. Such as they made them light and fast drying because they hated being wet time after coming out of the water and feeling wet and soggy, they made them easy to move around in so the shorts don’t rub you when you’re in the water or on your board, they designed THE perfect short.
Whether it was the cool designs of the shorts or the fact that the cool surfers wore them, either way they became a fashion statement, everyone was wearing them, from Brad Pitt to everyone one on the beach. And this doesn’t stop at men either, Quicksilver picked up on the massive market of the female surfer and developed their own brand of boardshorts designed especially for women, you may have heard of it, Roxy. It is now a multi-million pound industry who sells their shorts all over the world. Girls have a massive choice of shorts from long length to the knee to the short type, many different designs and styles, its such a huge market that other brands caught on to the idea and developed their own boardshorts for women as well.
Board shorts continue today to be one of the most popular items of clothing for the beach and summer wear.
