Hotpants show off great legs and certainly draw attention. These bottoms are fun and give an elegantly sexy look that can be either retro or modern. The term “hot pants” was first used in the 1970s during the Disco era. Skin-tight spandex hot pants were a favourite of dance divas, often appearing in flashy metallics and bright colours.
These super-short shorts even showed up in offices, often to the dismay of disapproving professionals, who at first did not know how to react to this new fashion. Whilst hot pants are still frowned upon today in most corporate settings, they certainly make a style statement at the appropriate venue.
Why do people think hotpants are a good idea?
With the festival season having just passed, we cannot believe the number of people who chose to wear hotpants and even now, whether rain or shine, you are guaranteed to see girls in them wherever you look.
Hot pants are all about your legs; no one should be ashamed to show some leg once in a while! If you want to create the wow factor that everyone is talking about, wearing some brightly coloured hot pants will certainly make you can stand out. You do not necessarily have to wear extremely tight ones, maybe you would feel more comfortable in a pair that has a slightly looser fit and are perfect for moving around in. Here at icecoolfashion, girls cannot get enough of them; we have hot pants available in over 10 colours! They are not just a summer trend, they can be worn throughout winter too! Around Christmas, red and pink hot pants are very popular purchases: perfect for being Santa’s little helper.
What do hotpants look like?
This is one of the most common questions asked in search engines, apparently. So here’s your answer: a very tight women’s brief shorts worn as a fashion garment, putting it simply. However, their look has changed over the years. They used to be extremely tight and extremely short but now, they are a little different. For instance, you can purchase hotpants that are not skin tight; these seem to be more the more popular option. Nowadays any bottoms that are less than 10″ short we class as hotpants.

How to wear hotpants?
You can wear hotpants in pretty much anything! Wearing them with heels and a long jacket puts all the attention to your calves and lovely legs.
One of the easiest ways to wear hot pants in a sophisticated manner is to pair them with a button-up blouse. If you’re hot pants are made from a stiffer fabric, go with a looser fitting, silky blouse.
The button-up blouse that we like come in many colours and a shiny shoulder pad, follow this link to see:
If your looking for that instantly polished look, you can put a plain blazer over your outfit.
Go for a more fitted style of blazer, and avoid boyfriend styles or anything that’s too oversized – if the hem of the blazer is longer than your hot pants it might look like you’re not wearing shorts at all!
