Short and Shiny

The French made, Ventex satin copy, sprinter shorts. Pretty sure these also came in royal blue with a white stripe....wouldn't say 'no' to a pair of those either!

Shiny sprinter shorts, made in France. The side slits are modest compared to normal 'sprinter' or running shorts, and so this appears to make them nicely arse-hugging when I walk!

Shiny sprinter shorts, made in France, from a material that is a clear copy of the Adidas Ventex satin of the time. Thinner, and perhaps not as silky, but has a lovely lustre in certain lights.

A comparatively cheap, French made, pair of black sprinter type shorts. I really like the 'cut' of these shorts.

During the summer, when it's all getting hot, super short 'sprinter' style shorts are a great way to stay comfortable. Some achingly retro Billiards branded shorts, in this case.

Another nice and snug pair of slick satin shorts. Black Adidas Ventex with orange stripes.

Any colours goes when you're busy at home. This time, bright green Adidas Ventex Super A. I love these, a firm favourite for pretty much any activity!

This time, an unbranded Italian pair. The same satin is usually found in Ennerre shorts. Incredibly shiny and silky to touch. Also a massive distraction 😂

English made Adidas Ventex Super A shorts. A bit thinner than the french made ones, but subtle and masculine nonetheless.

A super slick, and super glossy, black pair of Uhsports. These are a looser fit than most and so even more comfortable for hours on Teams!

Adidas Santiago, in navy blue with light blue stripes.

A blue pair of Dapa Designs satin nylon shorts, this time.

I'm fortunate that I can occasionally work from home, and short satin shorts are ideal attire, in my view. Adidas Ventex Super A, in this case.

Some of the shiniest and silkiest shorts out there, the Adidas Ventex 'Super A'.

Short and shiny, Adidas Ventex 'Super A's. I love wearing these!

Adidas Ventex 'Super A' acetate satin shorts. I love this type of short: a nice fit, plus they look and feel amazing 😍
