Gen Z is bringing back this upsetting fashion trend — here’s why they’ve gone too far

nypost.com:

TikTok creators share videos of where to buy the best jorts or offer styling tips.I appreciate the content, but no amount of styling, posing, or adding a trucker hat can stop these long pants from looking like something your grandpa used to wear when he headed out to put a bet on at the local TAB in the summer.I was prepared to get on board with slogan T-shirts, low-rise jeans, baggy jeans, and even the return of plaid ….

But the jorts, I don’t think I can embrace them, and I don’t think anyone should embrace them.We have to stop Gen Zers.I know that I can avoid jorts and just not wear them, but I also know myself.Right now, I look at jorts with horror, like when someone tells me a cake is gluten-free, but eventually, they’ll start looking normal and suddenly Cotton On will be selling a pair for under $30 and I’ll decide to give them a whirl.Enough time will have passed and I’ll think that wearing a pair of long shorts that showcase my meaty calves is actually high fashion.It’s why I’m so concerned about jorts being a trend.I know myself and I know other women.

We love a trend, we love a new look and we often get sucked in.I know some people have that timeless style and they can resist trends, but I’ve never had that in my life and I’ve experienced my feet sweating in bedazzled Crocs to prove it.Jorts are a problem because once something becomes fashionable it becomes every woman’s problem.I’m deeply concerned that in a few months, I’ll be trotting around in jorts and I’ll look terrible but think I look like Gigi Hadid.In reality, I will just look like someone’s dad popping into Woolies at around 6 p.m.
