Spandex Shorts: The Unsung Heroes of Summer Dressing


mens fashion trends 2014

“Summer breeze, makes me feel fine/blowing through the jasmine in my mind” crooned Seals & Croft in their 1970′s classic. Mens fashion trends 2014 Though, in unpacking the lyric “jasmine in my mind,” they most likely meant, “blowing up my skirt while I whine.”

Sure, I like a good summer breeze as much as the next pair of thighs begging for a reprieve from the heat, but fussily tugging at your skirt or dress gets old fast. I’m a huge proponent of the more underwear-safe midi length and the cartwheel-proof skort, butsometimes I’m in the mood for a short, light-weight flimsy dress. And you know what? I don’t think it’s too much to ask that I have my cake and not flash a stranger in the meantime.
After more than a few unfortunate breezy subway incidents, however, I remembered the magic words: Spandex Shorts.
Spandex shorts will have your back and your ass all summer long. Here’s why:
- You can sit on the subway without panicking about that inevitable moment of peeling your sticky buns off the bench when your stop approaches.
- You can sit on the subway without panicking, in general.
- You can plop down in the park without getting park on your ass. (Same goes for park benches.)
- You are halfway changed for an impromptu workout.
- Your period will stain your shorts before your dress.
And if you’re thinking, what about static? Get some static guard. I’ve got you covered, and so will your shorts.
