I’m most comfortable in my bare shorts without any underwear and a T-shirt if I’m home. I definitely like to sleep naked. I don’t know how girls do it with thongs. Forget that!
Adam Rodriguez
My first memory of Umbro was when I refused to take off my orange and purple Umbro checkerboard shorts for church at five years old. I won that battle, and that drive to express myself and stay true to myself, even as a kid, is why I’m so excited about my partnership with Umbro.
Ashlyn Harris
When I go to teach, that’s not my workout. It’s my show. I’m 134 pounds – I’m a teeny thing. I work out 11/2 hours a day and eat 1,600 calories. I can’t stray because I have to fit into these Dolfin shorts!

Justin Gatlin
It’s just an ice bucket with a bottle in it. The two flute glasses are little tray. I got to shut the curtains. I’m in my boxer shorts and shirt. I’m going to take a bath and go to bed. But I want to shut the blinds so it’s really dark in the room.
Danny DeVito
I think it’s difficult to do fashion for men, because either you become very over-homosexual fashion or very boring fashion. You don’t want a boy who looks 15 in a little pair of shorts with some strange art… But to see just a jacket and tie is boring.
Carine Roitfeld
I came to N.Y.C. in 1988 and got very involved with Act Up. I also started making movies, including two very gay shorts, ‘Vaudeville’ and ‘Lady.’ It was the height of the AIDS epidemic, and New York City was both dying and very alive at the same time.

More people than not have seen me on television in swim shorts, so I don’t have any problem stripping down.
Ian Ziering
I like Lil Wayne’s style. His style probably influences me the most. Basically, he’s just wearing exactly what he feels like wearing. He goes to the club, and he’s got shorts and a wife-beater on. That shows you what type of celebrity he is and what he is able to pull off, fashion-wise. I try to be in that same lane.
Von Miller
I have no personal agenda in whether or not a library keeps ‘Whale Talk’ or ‘Athletic Shorts’ or any of my books shelved.

The Miz

Gulzar
Shorts are practically a uniform in every woman’s closet. Tailored shorts are okay for running around, and if you’re 18, you can get away with cut-offs. But it’s very easy to make a mistake with shorts.
Trinny Woodall
Catsuits were big for me in the ’90s, and I had many of them. Even catsuits with shorts in them.

Madelaine Petsch
I made sure no butt cheek hung out. You know, the original Daisy, Catherine Bach’s shorts were shorter than mine.
Jessica Simpson

Michael Chiklis
What’s the point of shorts if they’re not short?
Juergen Teller
Every August, I go away for four weeks to a place in Michigan. I work in the mornings, spend the month in shorts and flip-flops. It gives me time to think like an investor and come back in September for some heavy planning.
Joe Mansueto
Not all my work features black actors. I mean, it’s funny: someone was reading back to me all the languages that have appeared in my films, whether they were shorts or features. They span Arabic, French, Mandarin, Cantonese – all kinds of languages. I think it’s really cool.
Barry Jenkins
I remember being about 14 when I started wearing shorts and heels. I hated the attention I got. I found it overwhelming.

But if I feel comfortable swinging in a short skirt or shorts, if I feel athletic and strong and confident, I can do that, and you shouldn’t call me certain names for it.
Paige Spiranac
When I had people scratchin’ my shorts a bit, it played better. We lost a bit of that in all the personnel changes and it’s an element we need to get back.
Tom Bergeron
When we first sold the Wallace and Gromit shorts to America, people suggested we get rid of the strange British accents and put clear American voices on them, and we held out.

Gael Monfils
I love shorts in the colder climates, because you can wear them with chunky sweaters and jackets. It’s cute and funky.

The older I get, the less I need. I wear the same jean shorts for the whole week. I’m not running to the store to get the latest bag.
Daria Werbowy

I personally am not a shorts-wearing guy. That goes for any form of shorts, beside sports shorts, that I have to wear.

I have a picture of me with Lady Antebellum, when they released their first single and I was at CMA Fest as a fan. I’m in flower-power shorts and a headband – so not cute – and I’m fan-girling next to Hillary. I couldn’t believe I was standing next to her.
Kelsea Ballerini
I travel as light as possible and usually pack in less than a minute. If I’m going somewhere hot, I throw in some flip-flops, T-shirts and shorts – but I still pack clothes that I never use.

Short shorts are not for everybody.
Brittney Griner
As for my personal style, I like comfort a lot, like jeans and T-shirts. Having been a trainer for so long, I spend a lot of my days in tank tops, shorts, and T-shirts. Still, I do like the occasions where I get to wear suits and make that a thing.
Matt McGorry
I am a California girl, born and raised, so flip-flops and cutoff shorts are my go-to look. An easy Angeleno uniform, so to speak. But for my role on ‘Suits,’ I’m dressed in Alexander McQueen, Tom Ford, and Prada almost every day. And therein lies the difference. For work, I wear art; in real life, I wear clothes.
Meghan Markle
Yes, U.S. travelers dress better. The British are always so conspicuous in hot climates. They don’t seem to wear shorts. American men seem to be comfortable wearing hot-weather clothing.
Bill Bryson
My style is ghetto chic. I love tacky jewelry, mega heels, high-waisted shorts, catsuits.

In the 70s and 80s, Dad was ‘the most hated politician in Britain’. When I started at Holland Park school, the papers turned up and there was a photograph of me published – skinny me in white shorts lining up with lots of other kids for PE. And I was 10.
Hilary Benn
I used to not wear shorts in the summer time. I just wanted to hide it and wear long pants. Then after the Paralympics, I saw how the other athletes handled missing an arm or a leg and they didn’t care. That was what I needed to see.
Jessica Long
After a couple of attempts at making shorts, I decided to make a feature film with a friend, Tom Hall, whom I’ve worked with ever since.
John Carney
At the beginning of my career I was going through a really weird phase of dressing in boys clothes. I would only wear one American Apparel T-shirt and shorts and brogues the whole year round. Not the same T-shirt, obviously, but one style of American Apparel T-shirt. I think I was going through a tomboy stage.
Florence Welch
My favorite Hepburn moment is in ‘Sabrina,’ when she steps off a boat in white shorts and a plaid shirt. Chic, classic, and unfussy.

I’m super, super casual. I like boxer shorts or jeans or tank tops, tennis shoes and flip flops. That’s about it for me.

I made shorts films, learning the dos and don’ts. Most importantly, I’ve been editing all these short films. Nothing can teach you filmmaking like editing can.

Andy Samberg
When our bodies are sick and people extend their sympathy, bring us soup, offer up solutions. When our minds are sick, people tend to shy away from you, be afraid, or call you outright crazy. I’m fascinated by the way society and individuals view mental illness, and most of my shorts comment on that.
Anna Akana
I love summer, but my legs are so pale I can never wear shorts or a bikini.

We’ve got our football where no one wears anything and the guys are in little shorts and they beat the crap out of each other, and they can catch it and they can kick it, and it’s the only place it’s played in the world.
Rachel Griffiths
All these fifty-year-old guys wearing baseball caps and shorts and acting like children. It winds me up. Men don’t have to take responsibility anymore. Most of the guys I know would punch me on the nose for saying this, but maybe we do have to bring back conscription.
Chrissie Hynde
People wear shorts to the Broadway theater. There should be a law against that.
Stanley Tucci
After being a born-again punk rocker for about ten years, the whole thing started falling apart. American hardcore had become Californians in baggy shorts making jokes about being white trash, and British punk had morphed into dogmatic crusties yelling at everyone about everything.
Gavin McInnes
The weather in California is so much hotter than it is in England that it’s absolutely changed my style. I have many more dresses and shorts than I ever thought I would coming from U.K.! It’s so much easier to dress femininely in a warm climate.
Tamsin Egerton
I need to have proper equipment when I work out, and the Nike Frees are light, comfortable, and great for training. I also usually bring a short-sleeve or long-sleeve compression shirt and a pair of shorts.
Sam Bradford
Leverage your brand. You shouldn’t let two guys in a garage eat your shorts.

I often go to bed in my birthday suit. But I like teddies and cute little undies that match. I like a sexy bra and panty set, or little shorts.
Queen Latifah
We used tea towels for gloves until we got proper ones and were always breaking our mum’s ornaments. She’d come home and find us all sat in our boxer shorts, out of breath and our skin red raw. She hated it.
Liam Smith
Part of my preparation is I go and ask the kit man what colour we’re wearing – if it’s red top, white shorts, white socks or black socks. Then I lie in bed the night before the game and visualise myself scoring goals or doing well.
Wayne Rooney
My personal style depends on what I’m doing or where I am. I wear a lot of jeans and jean shorts and t-shirts, and I love leather jackets; it’s pretty relaxed.
Jessica Springsteen
I don’t like dressing up. If it were up to me, I’d step out in my shorts and ganji and chappals. The maximum I’d wear are my white shirt and my blue shorts and my shades and I’d step out.
Radhika Madan
I used to trip over my legs and get detention for my too-short shorts because none fit. I still trip, but now I like to show them off.

Tory Burch

Chesney Hawkes
When I first started Lion Babe, I wore a lot of denim to perform in because I had a limited closet. A lot of the time, I was in cutoff shorts – either dark or light denim – and then I would pair them with whatever top I had.

I trained at Celtic when I was a kid. I used to train at Rangers as well. I wore my Celtic shorts underneath my Rangers shorts when I trained there!
Robert Snodgrass
Success sometimes can really bite you in the shorts.
Donny Osmond
I have a collection of vintage sundresses, and I’ve never worn them because for some reason I always opt for shorts and a t-shirt. I wish I could commit to them. I will. I have a few really great pieces I’ve been holding onto for years.
Tatiana Maslany
The funny thing about commercials to me is that many of them now don’t even mention the product until the very end. You don’t really know what the commercial is all about. They’re kind of like little movies, like shorts, and that’s why I think they’re so entertaining.
Kevin Nealon
I do the same kind of rewriting that I do in the shorts that I do in long books – and that is a lot. The book really comes to life in the rewriting.
Philip Roth
A simple life is good with me. I don’t need a whole lot. For me, a T-shirt, a pair of shorts, barefoot on a beach and I’m happy.
Yanni
Oh God, I am so pro-shorts. I love shorts.
Nick Wooster
I hate Nassau and the Bahamas. It’s one of those places I’d always wanted to visit since reading Ian Fleming but it was full of casinos with Americans in shorts.
Tony Parsons
Everyone needs to have a denim shirt in your wardrobe. They work in the evening with a blazer or over your shoulder. They’re great to pair with a pair of shorts – roll up the sleeves, unbutton it to show a peekaboo of your tank top.
Brad Goreski
I think a lot of people know me for just wearing cut-off denim shorts, an oversized white T-shirt with a pair of high-heels. I usually do wear basic stuff. Jeans and a white T is my go-to look.
Erin Wasson
I was a typical K-Swiss guy with sweatsuits. I was a ball player, so the ballers, we wore our game shorts to class. We didn’t really have a fashion in high school like other kids.
Paul Pierce
I’m really annoyed by the wave of country music that’s just a list of stuff. It almost sounds like L.A. people writing country music, because it’s just a list of stuff: ‘My pickup truck and my cowboy boots and my Levi’s jeans and my girlfriend with the short shorts.’ It’s so boring!
Kathleen Hanna
I hate wearing make-up, I hate doing my hair. With events and everything, you dress up so much that you get exhausted. So, whenever I go to Delhi, I’m in my dad’s oversized shirt and torn shorts.
Radhika Madan
I feel like I am a lot of who I am because I watched these shows that said it was okay to be a total weirdo. Shows like ‘Pete and Pete,’ ‘Hey, Dude,’ ‘Salute Your Shorts’ – that’s what I grew up with.
Mae Whitman
