The history of men's shorts 

Not always were men's shorts the fashionable, cosy, and adaptable pieces of clothing they are now. Their transformation from pure utilitarian clothing to a staple of the contemporary man's wardrobe is extremely remarkable. We'll go into the history of men's shorts and how Frankster, an Australian company committed to achieving the ideal shorts, fits into this developing story.

Early in the 20th century, men and boys living in tropical regions or participating in particular sports were largely the only ones wearing shorts. Unquestionably, shorts were more practical for these kinds of activities, but they were hardly considered a style statement.

Views of men's fashion also started to shift as the decades passed and society's standards did. Bermuda shorts started to appear in warmer climates' informal and even corporate wear during the 1950s and 1960s. Forward to the 1980s and 1990s, shorts in all their forms, lengths, and materials had become a staple of men's fashion worldwide.

Finding the ideal pair persisted even as shorts became mainstream. Many companies created seasonal collections, with each iteration changing the fit and style. Many times, this disparity resulted in shorts that were too long, too short, too wide, or too narrow.

Creating the ultimate pair of shorts

Now enter Frankster, an Australian firm founded in Melbourne with the goal of making the ultimate, long-lasting shorts. We at Frankster understood that people needed a reliable, cosy, and fashionable pair of shorts. What, then, is our remedy? Concentration on design, quality, and—above all—consistency.

Along with embracing the history of this adaptable garment, we have worked to influence its future in our pursuit of short-making perfection. We recognise that men's shorts represent a journey in which men's comfort, style, and confidence have evolved in addition to the evolution of an item of apparel.

Here we are right now. Shorts are today a medium for individual expression, a comforting emblem, and a statement about the times. As we go forward at Frankster, we pledge to uphold the history of shorts while also advancing their future, so that the contemporary man never needs to settle for less in terms of comfort, style, or quality.
