Artichoke Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Dd is dual enrolled for the summer, and I've been driving her this past week. It's about forty minutes from our house so I just hang around campus and wait for her. It's been interesting to people watch. Now here's the clothing that has me puzzled: Girls of all sizes are wearing shorts that have their "cheeks" hanging out. I'm not talking short shorts or Daisy Dukes where the "cheek" is peeking out. These are more of a V cut with lots of hanging involved. It's almost like a thong with extra material. Anyone else seeing this where they live?

Greta Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Do they look like a swimsuit bottom, but they're being worn as street clothes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Yes, unfortunately. First it was an underwear trend ("cheekies") and now it has migrated to actual shorts :rolleyes: Adults can wear what they like, but some outfits belong at a nightclub rather than in the classroom. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Do they look like a swimsuit bottom, but they're being worn as street clothes? Like these. Basically a denim thong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artichoke Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) Do they look like a swimsuit bottom, but they're being worn as street clothes? No. All the ones I've seen are jean shorts. If I had to guess, I'd say they cover less than an average swimsuit bottom. I've seen them with long tanks and with regular shirts. It's really different than anything I've seen before.

Desert Strawberry Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) Wow. No. I'm struggling with just regular shorts looking like cheekies. These are absurd. I have seen gym shorts with this cut. It looks like the poor girl lost half her pants. Edit: I've seen them online and in magazines, not in real life. But the ones I've seen were more generous than these. Edited June 3, 2017 by Desert Strawberry 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Tick Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I had a loooong wait in line at the grocery behind a similar pair. Somehow they were lost, but with no additional coverage. Seemed like i was waiting forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Okay, thanks to Quill I looked more closely through the different styles that Crimson linked to! Um, not sure if that was a good thing or not! I'd say the ones I've seen on campus are comparable to the thong styles on Amazon that are covering more. The more severe thongs are probably not what I'm seeing. There are however cheeks hanging not peeking out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoops I didn't mean to inspire defensiveness . It was useful info. And I was surprised but not displeased to hear it's a not something only worn by one demographic... kids these days are more body proud than they used to be , and that's a good thing. To be clear my 'ew' was for anyone wearing it, because : ew. Skinny women , lithe women , 'average' women , curvy women, zaftig women, tall women, short women , strutting women , shy women would all look the same in those to me. Like a guy in a butt ugly romper. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnE-girl Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I've worn some pretty short shorts when I had the body to pull them off, but they were no where near that tiny. So uncomfortable! And probably not very hygienic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These "cheeky" shorts are a recent fad and over-the-top IMHO. I was in a sorority in college and wore some pretty skimpy outfits (I was far less religious back then), but not to class. The whole concept of dressing appropriate for the situation some people seem to have difficulty grasping... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually we rarely see bikini tops at all unless it's near a waterpark or pool. I'm hoping these "cheeky" shorts don't hit the mainstream here.
