Whose Ombre Crochet Shorts Are These? Also: Why?

Sometimes I be minding my own business when I come across reasons to facepalm. Just look at the picture below and shake your head with me. Or maybe some of you wanna getchu a piece. I don’t know your life.

Crochet shorts

A pair of ombre crochet hot shorts for (what appears to be) a man. I don’t… understand any parts of it. This is not enough fashion and too much at the same time. Ombre. Crochet. Shorts.

Some of you learn a new trade and you want to show it off immejately. The person who did these just upgraded their craft from blanket-making so they came up with the idea of corts (crochet shorts). They didn’t even have the mind to make them bermuda length. These come mid-thigh for an extra ounce of sexy-flexy. I see it.

Plus, we must acknowledge the belt loops. He got the nerve to rock a leather belt with them too. Was rope busyThe leather just doesn’t go allaway with it.

And either they found a willing model or they decided to put it on themselves. I wonder where he wore them to. If it wasn’t a “Tacky Alphets Convention” then it probably wasn’t appropriate. Either way, these shorts should have never happened.

Whose crochet shorts are these? And also: why?

      RIGHT?!? Whoever made these shorts was trying to show off with the belt loops!! 🙂

    Are you sure he didn’t borrow them from his wife?

    • May 23, 2014 at 11:48 am

      It don’t e’em matter where he got em. Someone made these. It might be him, for all we know.

    • May 25, 2014 at 7:07 am

      I think his wife had thrown it out and he just grabbed it..lol

      This whole comment had me crying. I am kind of hoping they went the extra mile by adding a button and a zipper. I say go big or go home…LOL

    The belt loops and the back pocket really took it over the edge for me….like that means this wasn’t just for a costume or an experiment…these were for real life going out somewhere. He’s like “Corts. For when it’s 100 degrees outside and you just need to breathe.”

    • May 23, 2014 at 11:49 am

      Yeah the back pockets did do a lot too. They just wanted to show off their talent.

    My question is why did he think it was a good idea to make the darkest, brownish part of the ombre on the butt crack?

    Can I just say I think it was a bad move to make the brown fall directly between his bum crackage? It just conjures up very non-pleasant mental images.

    • May 23, 2014 at 12:28 pm

      Well now I can’t stop scowling. Thanks for nothing.

  9. May 23, 2014 at 10:32 am

    I KNOW they have a hot crotch. It’s 90 degrees outside. This isn’t right. Boiled balls can’t be a pleasant scent. Hep.

    Ombre? You mean the dude wearing them, or the color ochre? Or amber?

    In TEARS you’re so damb funny!

    • May 23, 2014 at 11:17 am

      I mean “ombre.” It means something that goes from one color to another. It’s a gradient.

    Turn around. Let’s see the fronts. Button up fly? Personally, I’d go for a lace up, codpiece sort of dilly.

    • arma109
      May 23, 2014 at 3:52 pm

      I bet they lace up like a bustier with a nice silk ribbon. That would really set these off. Is there a matching crocheted cap? I have so many querstions.

    But… Can you imagine what nut-hugging foolishness is portrayed in the front? I am gleeful that we are only able to view these from the front, luvvie.

    Was rope busy? Rope made other plans immediately as soon as those came out of the…drawer? Hope chest? Fresh off the crochet hook? I don’t know about this garment.

    Luvvie, I came across your post a couple of days ago (I can’t even remember how or why now -does that matter?). I have to tell you and your nutty readers/followers/commenters have made my day. Nah, my year. Or, to paraphrase y’all, “you’ve gave me life”.
    Oh, I must explain myself: I am a white Latino (that is, not a native speaker of English nor living anywhere near an En-speaking country), so perhaps this should not appeal to me; but OMG I can’t begin to tell you the loads of stuff I’ve been learning. And what I read here is not even the variety of English I’ve studied! You’re all doing me a lot of harm… I’m not supposed to be learning this for my own sake, AND I have no-one to share it with.
    Simply thanks 🙂
