Short shorts are not a trope on their own. Here's a list of tropes that may apply instead:

* {{Fanservice}}, for audience-pleasing material that is largely sexual.
* LegFocus, for when someone's legs are given special attention from the in-universe characters/camera.
* MeaningfulAppearance, for the appearance of people used as a way to convey information about them.
* ModestyShorts, for when characters wear shorts under a skirt to prevent {{Panty Shot}}s.
