Is the influencer-led trend for wearing spray-on shorts the same colour as your skin really a thing, or is it more a case of emperor’s new clothes? Alyx Gorman explains it to Naaman Zhou, quickly
Hi Alyx, I’ve heard there is quite a stir at the moment around shorts.
Indeed. And this time “naked shorts” are not a grey-area financial practice that attempts to drive down stock prices. In 2020, naked shorts can still result in FTDs, but it’s not failure to deliver, it’s Flashing That Derriere. And it is just as controversial (not really).
So these shorts ... make it look like you are in fact, not wearing shorts?
If you opt to purchase a pair that is the same colour as your flesh, that would be accurate, yes. Bike shorts that look like they come in a spray can are quite fashionable at the moment (and have been for a while). The trend has made its natural progression from Princess Diana, to high fashion, to Kardashian, to mainstream. Now fitness influencers are taking that look one step further and making like the Colombia women’s cycle team, circa 2014. Queue flame emojis.
