As summer nears, the weather isn’t the only thing heating up. So is menswear\u2014or lack thereof. Yes, it’s official: the men’s short shorts renaissance is officially upon us. This revealing trend has been on the (literal) rise since last year but has quickly gained traction in recent months, with no signs of slowing down.<\/span><\/p>\n

It all began, as these things do, with the right person in the right place at the right time. In this case, that was<\/span> This Is Us<\/span><\/em><\/a>\u00a0star Milo Ventimiglia, who left the gym in an itty-bitty pair of black shorts this past April. Some might argue the original trendsetters were Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (who posted a gym pic in a grey set the day prior), Orlando Bloom (snapped by paparazzi in a sporty Neil Barrett pair last November), or Paul Mescal (papped in a white GAA set last summer). However, Ventimiglia’s appeared to break the Internet from having a different element at play: aesthetics.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the post-workout circumstances, Ventimiglia’s shorts moment was more than just a sweaty top and a generous amount of thigh\u2014it had style. The Superior Defense T-shirt (note the rolled-up sleeves), black high-top Converse, dark green face mask, and sunglasses gave the shorts a laid-back, slightly rebellious vibe, a major upgrade from simple workout gear. Please experience the viral photo below (in the very rare case that you haven’t already).<\/p>\n
