Remember that catchy Royal Teens jingle “Who Wears Short Shorts?” from the old Nair commercials. Of course, you do. Who could forget it? Well, The Joey Company, a local woman-owned ad agency in DUMBO, has revamped the Nair commercials from the 70’s-80’s and made it “Like Never Before.” The original concept is still present in these new ads featuring leggy models strutting their stuff like the women from Sex and the City. As they say, everything old is new again.
In the fashion world, short shorts are also making a comeback and they’re available in a wide assortment of colors and styles.
All of these shorts are available at Express and cost less than $60.
