Shifting Fashions: The History of Shorts

Historical fashion photos can create a mixed reaction depending on the individual. For those who are in the photos, they may feel a slight tinge of embarrassment if they were subjected to a trend that later became a major fashion faux-pas.

However, for those who weren’t even born when the offending photos were taken, images of shoulder pads, flared dungarees with flowery shirts or any number of other fashion frights can cause many people to burst into fits of laughter. Of course, that is the nature of fashion. What is acceptable one day can quickly become yesterday’s news, leaving wardrobes of unworn clothes the length and breadth of the country.

It can be very interesting to look back at how certain items of clothing have changed over the years. This is especially true in terms of how they were worn, who wore them and the wider cultural implications of anyone inadvertently ‘getting it wrong’.

Shorts provide a good example of how fashion attitudes can change significantly over a relatively short period of time. Historically speaking, in the late 19th and early 20th century, shorts were almost exclusively worn by young boys until they were deemed old enough to wear trousers. And because of this, many men would refuse to wear shorts, even when it was more practical to do so, in case they were perceived to be immature for their age.

With soldiers being sent to tropical regions during the Second World War, shorts became a more popular item of clothing for reasons of necessity. Although it did take a number of decades for them to be fully accepted within wider society, shorts are now worn by people from all backgrounds and every conceivable demographic within the western world.

Fast Decision is Required for Fast Fashion

How retailers can come up with quicker, superior resolution in a move to react quickly to shifting shopper demand? The retailers are under noticeable pressure in order to respond continuously evolving fashion trends. The consumer’s demands are continuously changing with the fashion trends, whether its design, fabric types, colors or even the modest technology. The major point is to get known about the product that would be saleable in stores and at what time. To cater the most sensitive moods ever of shoppers, there is a requirement of precise anticipation, buying and planning the merchandise.

The retailers will voluntarily agree that the buying behavior is hard to forecast. There are many reasons which can affect the behavior, such as fashion trends, style-setting by celebrities, brands, monetary-standards and even the change in weather. These irrepressible outer issues can lead surplus stock, heavy loss, and stock wear-and-tear. Simultaneously, the greater than ever before competition in the High-Street to offer ‘Fast Fashion’, urges for lesser lead times, enhanced sourcing and buying plan.

Additionally, many times merchandisers and consumers cope-up with plans for various seasons at single time, foreseeing the trends for one or even two upcoming seasons. Also, they have to take care that the errors from the current season are not being carried-out into upcoming seasons. One of the major difficulties, which retailers have to face in a response rapidly to evolving consumer demand, is a blend of rigid systems and a short of on-time information. Converting data into real-time information is one of the problems faced by present business houses.

Tons of data can be produced is a seconds, however
