Lace shorts (a.k.a. #laceyshorts) for men are here–and the reviews are mixed.
On Monday, an Instagram account for ZJ Sparks (@SparkieBabyOfficial) uploaded a picture of three men wearing pastel pink, blue, and green lace belted shorts, paired with white socks and sneakers.
The photo was captioned:
#LaceyShorts for men are here. Would you wear these gentlemen? Ladies would you like to see your boyfriend or husband rock one of these? #malefashion
The responses ranged from “F*CK NO!” to “??? f*ck yes!”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Lace shorts for men are now a thing,” one person commented. “What a time to be alive.”
“I would wear these in a heartbeat!” another person wrote. “I think these are chic as hell ?”
“I’m a fashion designer and this is just insane,” someone else said.
Pretty soon, Twitter took notice. The responses over there were equally as mixed…

Personally, we like this guy’s attitude:
Who gives a fuck if a guy wants to wear a romper or lace shorts? Why the fuck do you care? So sick of this judgement… gtfo

What’s next?
Jock straps for women?
Bras for men?
Male tampons? (“We’ll let you figure it out.”)
Pregnancy tests for the guys?
Prostate exams for the ladies?
Hot flashes?
WEBOne
Some guys could really use a bra.
Tobi
Male tampons? Yup, already a “thing” !! https://www.coloplast.co.uk/peristeen-anal-plug-en-gb.aspx

Both men and women can experience hot flashes.
Female” jockstraps” do exist and are sold for medical and protective reasons. The style is also as fashion.
Bras for men are sold for fashion and medical reasons.
Male pregnancy tests and prostate exams for the ladies – sere pre-ooo transgenders.
A male tampon? It’s named Donald Trump.

like the rompers, these look suitable for bedtime wear only. lace underpants should never, never, NEVER be worn outside the house….or at least have the fashion sense to wear color-matched underwear.

just checked another extended article and they have MATCHING SHIRTS!!! O! M! G! it makes them look like brides’maids’ at an ultra-gay beach wedding (and still worn with white underwear). and can you imagine the tan ‘lines’?
scotshot
What’s depicted are shorts made of lace, the underwear is visible through the lace. In today’s fashion there is no hard and fast rule as to what color undergarments should be. I’d favor a nude color – also eliminate the pockets or make them the color of underwear worn.

This is the kind of fashion that begins to look dated and silly in about 2 weeks. Might be able to pull it off as part of an interesting outfit, but white briefs, white belt, white socks and shoes and no shirt just looks odd to me.
And you HAVE to carry a man-bag since everything in your pockets will be visible.

I would LOVE to know how many get sold. ‘Enquiring minds want to know!’

These would look hot with a jock strap underneath.
WEBOne
Gives “going commando” a whole new maning…

Not much different from the fishnet shirts some guys wear…

I don’t do this very often, but I’m afraid I’m going to have to rebuke them in the Name of Cher.

I hope you guys noticed the box towards the end where you can vote on this trend. I agree with the commenter who said “This is the kind of fashion that begins to look dated and silly in about 2 weeks.”
What I found interesting is how they didnt include the guys faces in the picture. For some reason their posteriors seem a bit large considering the size of the stomachs and legs.

I thought it was spelled ‘lacy’.
Oh, now I get the above “Cagney t-shirt” comment.
Captain Obvious
This is what happens when guys become obsessed with trying to be “different” and stand out. I get being bored with mens fashion as it has hit all time levels of boring but all of this stuff is just silly. From footed sleepers to rompers and now lace print shorts? These people need to go have a seat.
I think these guys just need to admit that they’re burned out on hypermasculinity and need to find a proper balance without dressing like a woman or a toddler.

I dress for comfort not looks. These look cool and breezy on a hot August summer day. The tan will have a lace design on your thigh if you don’t use sunscreen tho.

They might be interesting if worn without underwear.
