Who wears short shorts? Børns wears short shorts! This past weekend at Coachella, Garret Borns—the artist known as Børns, a man with lush Aphrodite tresses and a siren’s voice—wore a deliciously risqué Gucci outfit that included a pair of Daisy Dukes. The micro shorts showed off Børns’s hunky hamstrings, which, he told Vogue, stay toned and limber through regular yoga: “Flexibility and balance make a huge difference in a performance for me.” Another bonus point for the thigh-baring ensemble? Børns claimed his defined gams glistened thanks to “a mixture of hot desert sun and adrenaline.” Noted.
It’s not the first time that a man has worn tiny cutoffs. The men’s runways were filled with itsy-bitsy shorts, including at Prada’s Fall 2018 show and Gucci’s Spring 2018 presentation. But Børns’s getup showed a new kind of daring—not only due to the amount of leg exposed, but in its color choice, too. He opted for rose pink, a hue that his stylist, Kat Typaldos, said was a way for the look to “really pop against the desert style.” And while most men might not be as bold as Børns to show off their cared-for calves and god-like quadriceps, the entertainer left us with one last piece of short shorts wisdom: “Remember, your legs are the pillars to your temple. Let them be free, and the rest of you will follow.”
