Men in Short Shorts??

The shorter the better is always what comes to mind when men think of womens shorts. But what about men? Designers such as Perry Ellis and Thom Browne are sending men down the runway in shorts shorter than womens. But is America really ready for men in short shorts? In Europe we have always seen men in shorts that come half way between a mans hips and knee, but in America we have always known men to have baggy shorts that are barely sitting on there waist. Short tight shorts have always been a symbol of women since the 60's. But when women started to take on rolls that only men could usually do, in the workfield, the women's fashion changed to a more masculine look, because men were seen as always being the main "bread winner." But now it seems as if Men and Women are reversing rolls in the workforce. Women are beginning to take higher positions in the buisness world then men. We even almost had or first Women run for president. So i think that with Women becoming more present in the workforce and making more money then men, its starting to influence Men's fashion. Therefore we are seeing a more feminine influence in men's fashion.
