Very short denim shorts were the dominant style for both men and women of the 1970s. [7] In the 1980s, long jorts with high waists and light washes were popular. Tennis player Andre Agassi wore short, acid-washed Nike jean shorts at the 1988 US Open, an atypical choice of fabric for the sport.
Swimsuits, including the Gottex brand popular in Israel and America, were one- or two-piece; some had loose bottoms like shorts with short skirts.

A control brief is a kind of high-waisted panty girdle. French-cut or high-cut briefs expose more of the front part of the thigh, while boy briefs have short legs, similar to men's trunk briefs, often combined with a lower waist. Full briefs cover the woman's upper-thighs, with some styles covering up to the navel.
Jeans, made of denim, are a form of trousers for casual wear widely worn all over the world by people of all genders. Shorts are often preferred in hot weather or for some sports and also often by children and adolescents. Trousers are worn on the hips or waist and are often held up by buttons, elastic, a belt or suspenders (braces).

[13] [14] Britney Spears is credited with popularizing the fashion in the US in the early 2000s. [15] [16] From 2001 to 2007, low-rise jeans often exposed thongs or G-strings, but this declined after 2007.
