The daily clothes of modern Chinese are all butt butt western, so it is necessary to go back to ancient Europe to study the past and present of shorts.

For the first time, trousers appeared in the western history, and they were basically the same time as the northern expedition of the ancient Rome army. After thousands of years, whether it is pants or leggings, tight stockings, men always love the European leg wrapped tightly, the lower limb muscle structure revealed the aesthetic taste, and today women's clothing preferences is very similar.

Time to go to the middle ages, eliminating gender differences in robes of undress occupy a dominant position in the west, is positioned as the underwear pants. In the mid - fourteenth Century men began wearing non - leg tight trousers from the ankle to the bottom of the thigh". Its flamboyant and striped decor, its popularity laid the foundation for Western men's trousers.

During the Renaissance, men's trousers were more plentiful. In sixteenth Century, the emergence of modern can wear shorts with crotch shape: traditional Schaus is divided into two parts, the upper part is knee length "Austria - de - Xiao Si" (Haut de chausses) a loose tight two, the lower part of the stocking called "Ba de - Xiao si". On the eve of the French Revolution, the aristocracy shorts for velvet and silk texture, knee bow, trouser leg is very narrow, deliberately highlighting the leg line.

Sixteen Louis's tights and stockings

After nineteenth Century, simple and elegant suit trousers replaced aristocratic tights. Since then, for a long time, shorts have become the exclusive boys, wearing pants, it means growing up. So even in summer, adult men in order to "mature", also refused to wear shorts.

With the rise of women's rights movement, tight shorts in the men's wear are getting more and more popular with women. However, for Western men, shorts in the past twenty years the trend not only become more and more long, which is always a clothing difficult to get in good taste, no longer get the history of the "formal" status.

A few hundred years ago, shorts that were popular in the upper classes of the western world, though not directly exposed to the skin, would have been more closely designed than their pants with bare legs if they were measured by today's standards".

So, here comes the question of the lines of the lower legs of men. Why were Leggings so popular that now shorts are looked down upon? This is related to people's cognitive changes in the function of men's clothing.

Men's shorts throw out

For a long time after the Renaissance, the most important task of Western clothing was not to distinguish between sexes, but to distinguish between classes.

Before the French Revolution, noble fashion, men's extravagant, studded with satin lace, no one will take these men to decorate or long hair, perfume, cosmetics with "feminine", "gay" together, their sole function is to highlight

"Noble."".

- "Marie Antoinette".

In the late eighteenth Century, men came to an aesthetic mutation known as the "Great Masculine Renunciation". The male gave up all the gorgeous, gorgeous and complicated forms of decoration, and the clothes began to be simple, steady and simple. Simple tailoring, low-key colors, shapes, single suit popular.

On the one hand, the French Revolution caused the position of the aristocracy to be shaken, and the revolutionaries wanted a new society in the form of uniform dress. In theory, male clothing became a uniform, no longer for looks, but for labor and equality. On the other hand, the second industrial revolution spawned a large number of bourgeois and industrial workers, and the concept of "separate spheres" formed by "male producer" and "female consumer".

Illustrated men's wear in 1906

The French art critic and sociologist Pierre Boudieu said, "in early nineteenth Century, the emergence of gender split character, male and female have vigorous and gentle, nineteenth Century is the most significant period of male dominance". The primary goal of clothing is to differentiate between classes and to differentiate between sexes. In addition, the values defined by modern industry define not only masculine characteristics, but also men's clothing.

In some ways, the history of individual growth is a history of social gender. In modern society, the strict discipline of men and women's gender still exists, gentle, rough, decorated, simple, reproductive, and work...... These elements define what is standard male and what is standard female.

Because of the advantage on the status of women in men, "male" is acceptable, while the male body is "naked", most people to give up the initiative as masculine characteristics, so disgraceful, and "metamorphosis". This is the basic reason why the ordinary people reject the elements such as "tight", "exposed", "bright" and "gorgeous" which may be contained in men's clothing.
