A bit of history behind vintage shorts, culottes and capri pants from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. Pleated shorts, sailor shorts, pinup shorts and more.

After this most deepest and darkest of winters (aren't they always), what I'm more than ready for the sort of weather that just makes you want to burst out of the house and run the streets in short shorts. This is basically what is happening in these photographs I fished out of the LIFE archives...

1950s shorts styles. Short pinup shorts, culottes, pedal pushers and Bermuda shorts were all '50s styles. Learn the history and shop for women's 1950s shorts.
