Summer 2021 is coming sooner than you might think, and guys are looking for new ways to look good. After more than a year of Covid-19-induced restrictions, there is a real buzz online about how everyone wants to enter this brave new world not only by grabbing a new vaccination card, but also recently by heat.
We can give you pages upon pages of training to get into what you might consider to be a peak post-pandemic state (that’s kind of our thing here), but your body shape is just fine. part of the heat equation. How you present yourself to the outside world – an alien concept after more than 13 months of largely avoiding others – is more than half the battle.
That’s why I’m calling on men to consider wearing shorter shorts once the summer sun starts to hit. We saw this trend at the end of the game last year – but in 2021 it’s not just about rocking a 5.5-inch crotch and calling it a day. How? ‘Or’ What you flash those games, that’s what really matters. Whether it’s at the park or the beach, on social media posts or anywhere else within reason, let’s see a step with confidence, guys. Skies outside, thighs outside. Welcome to Quadsummer.
Thank you The Rock for Quadsummer 2021
You can thank The Rock for inspiring this call to the legs. Like many trends in men’s fitness and body image, Dwayne Johnson is at the forefront. We can’t ignore that bodybuilders and queer men also put on a big show flaunting their thighs long before this year, but I think of it in terms of a figure widely recognized by people from all walks of life. The man who sparked an extensive inquiry into the prevalence of the Dick Towel is a prime candidate to standardize game monitoring for all kinds of guys. As a straight guy, I have to admit that I have followed some of Johnson’s clues in the past, and it’s no different.
As he prepares for his superhero debut as Black Adam, Johnson has been more outspoken in sharing workout and physical updates on Instagram than any other time in his career. career. The man understands how to use social media to make a splash, and he has become more comfortable sharing photos and videos with his high-mounted spandex, bringing his quads to full display. You can hardly tell he’s even wearing anything below the waist. This kind of confidence is a flex, in more ways than one.

This should come as no surprise, since Johnson rose to prominence with a character who wore little more than briefs in the pro wrestling circuit – but a staging is very different from how you present yourself in an environment like the gym. Thanks to ingrained standards, you’re likely to see long shorts there, and even the aforementioned Dick Towel for the sake of modesty. But Johnson is more and more likely to show off in tight leggings, so the last step of just putting the quads on full display makes sense.
Big DJ casts a long shadow, but a slightly smaller (but no less bloody) celebrity stepped in to serve as a second example of the gams-out lifestyle. Actor Milo Ventimiglia caused a small tsunami on social media earlier in the week when he was spotted strutting to his car after training in a pair of super short shorts.
Ventimiglia is a much more accessible model for the average man, so the overwhelmingly positive response to photos should serve as a sign that the world is ready for the emergence of the leg.
How to show off your legs this summer and beyond
When it comes time to put that confidence into practice, it helps to have a strategy. Think of your legs as social media has highlighted the buttocks. Do you know the posture influencers take in their mounted leggings that flaunt their behind? Lean over slightly, hips pushed for full buttock prominence? Bring this energy to the front to put the quads at full throttle. You can become a bodybuilder or a physical competitor with a flex, like Julian Smith here:

If you are working with a little less leg meat, just put your best leg forward. I took to the track for a workout with my running group wearing a pair of short shorts, and a friend surprised me in a perfect pose even when I wasn’t actively trying to play:
There’s even a ready-made emoji for your first leg thirst traps: 🍗. Yes, there is a leg (and prosthetic!) Emoji option, but let’s embrace the energy and give the folks back home something juicy.
Pose is half the equation; your choice of clothing also plays a role here. You can go for bold prints, fits, sports shorts, khakis, whatever suits you. There have been a few companies that have actively marketed their equipment with the gadget of straight men flaunting their legs with confidence, such as Chubbies. For some guys, brands like the one with fraternal origins have been a drag – and the exclusionary nature of fraternal culture is do not what we are looking for here. We want to allow for some exhibitionism, guys, but not at the expense of anyone else or just to be ironic in some way. You can wear your shorts any way you choose, no matter where you get them; don’t buy into this hype that only a privileged few can pull off a short haircut. Check out these shorts to consider your options.
Once summer arrives, the vaccination will become widespread and everyone will be ready to go out, the world will feel like a whole different place. Now, thanks to a newfound confidence, the attitude of the DGAF of the months spent indoors, and the examples given by some stellar celebrities, you know what you need to do to do your best: show a lot of leg.
