ABSTRACT:
A garment that includes the attribute of a pair of shorts and which includes a front panel and a rear panel to span a gap formed between the legs of the shorts. The front panel and rear panel provide the appearance of continuous front and rear surfaces, normally associated with a skirt. Both the front panel and the rear panel extend from and are secured at one edge to the waist of the garment. The panels extend downwardly to the lowermost edge of the two leg portions of the shorts. Opposed side edges of the panels are secured approximately half-way along the height of the garment to the mid-section of the garment. The panels then become a free bottom portion, including hemmed edges which are detached from the garment so as to produce a free end swinging panel portion. This aids in providing the appearance of a skirt formed of a plurality of panel portions. Pockets are optionally included on the front of the garment and may optionally be included on the rear of the garment. Also, optional belt loops combined with an elasticized or partially elasticized waist may be included.
