Once you become aware of them, it’s hard to unsee them
Photo: Patagonia Before the pandemic, most office workers only wore shorts on the weekends thanks to uptight corporate dress codes. But all that’s changed now. Those Zooming from home have found they can wear shorts seven days a week if they want, and without freezing office air conditioning, they’re probably in need of a few more pairs.
In short, they’re shorts designed for people who do stuff. As a Patagonia spokeswoman told me: “If it’s been done, it’s been done in Baggies.” But they’re also great for sitting inside all day and doing nothing. Personally, I’ve been wearing my five-inch Baggies to work from home. Their nylon fabric is so light that I feel naked, plus it’s spill-proof for when I inevitably drop sandwich juice in my lap.
Really, though, Baggies are not that complex or interesting, which is I think is part of their appeal. A male friend of mine compared them to an Air Force 1 sneaker or a Bic lighter in that they’re a “super iconic, lasting piece of design” that hasn’t changed much in 38 years. You’d be hard pressed to find a casual outfit that they don’t fit seamlessly into. I usually throw my black pair on with a T-shirt and sneakers and don’t think much more about it.
