‘Daisy Dudes,’ skimpy shorts for men, divide Twitter: ‘My junk would come out’

My Twitter #MyTwitter

Sir, thigh cheeks are turning red.

Leaving little to the imagination, a pair of itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny denim hot pants for men are garnering critical hot takes on social media.

And online objectors have deemed the NSFW jeans — which only scarcely cover the crotch and rear-end —“disgusting” and “a big HELL NO.”

“They call them Daisy Dudes,” tweeted a cheeky hater of the revealing togs, likening the minuscule shorts to those famously worn by actress Catherine Bach as “Daisy Duke” on the ‘70s sitcom “The Dukes of Hazard.”

The cropped bottoms in question are listed as the “Manfinity Fever City Men Cotton Raw Trim Denim Shorts” for $10.99 on fast fashion behemoth, Shein. And patrons of the site seem to be tickled pink over the eye-popping pants.

“Love the fit in these. [My] booty was popping in these,” raved an anonymous customer in the reviews. 

“Got these for my husband as a gift. He said he is wearing these to the beach this summer,” said another satisfied shopper. 

“Hot [as f- -k]. I looked snatched,” wrote an equally pleased risktaker. “Everything was covered except my thighs.”

But while fans of the fanny-baring trunks couldn’t help but sing their praises, Debbie-downers on Twitter — where an image of the hip-huggers has amassed over 11,000 views —  eagerly gave the shorts a massive thumbs down. 

“Yeah…that’s going to be a hard pass for me,” said a negative Nancy. 

“My junk would come out the side to say hi,” chimed another cynic, suggesting that the tiny garb would fail to contain his genitals.

An additional tweeter teased, “Be sure to tuck with duct tape, before putting on those redneck speedos,” while other keyboard comedians joked that the mere sight of the skimpy jeans would give them “nightmares,” and that wearing the shorts would render them “banned from outside.” 

But guys sporting short-shorts is far from a new craze.

In fact, men who dared to don shorts with a bitty 5.5-inch seam were virally revered as “hot” on TikTok during the summer of 2020.

A-listers like “This Is Us” star Milo Ventimiglia were, too, lavished in social media adulation for rocking a pair of high-cut denim in 2021, seeing hot-to-trot folks on Twitter write: “Can’t wait to shamelessly objectify men with thick thighs this summer. [You] better be wearing short shorts. I just love a thick’ums.”

And for this summer’s wave of the fashion phenomenon, a handful of open-minded fashionistas, too, seem to be enticed by the bold look, with one writing, “Wish my legs looked that good.” 

“Hot boy summer here we come,” cheered another.
