{{quote|What is the point of a skirt if you're just going to wear shorts underneath?|Yuga Aoyama|[[My Hero Academia]]}}
Short skirts are feminine and sexy, but if you move too much, it's very hard to avoid [[Panty Shot]]s while wearing one. This is where
This trope is common in anime, as [[Sailor Fuku|School]] [[Joshikousei|Uniforms]] are almost always extremely short. It is often worn by [[Kick Chick]]s, [[All Guys Want Cheerleaders|Cheerleaders]], [[Action Girl]]s, [[Tomboy]]s or anyone else with an active lifestyle.

{{examples}}
== [[Advertising]] ==
* In a commercial for ''[[The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee]]'' the Asian chick does a kick revealing that she wears shorts under her schoolgirl skirt.
* Hersey's Air Delites animated ad.
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Mikoto Misaka of the ''[[A Certain Magical Index]]'' franchise has this trope as her fashion calling card, much to [[Psycho Lesbian|Kuroko Shirai's]] dismay. Also, Shizuri Mugino does it once. Mikoto's clones wear [[Fetish Fuel|striped panties]] instead, which occasionally helps Touma determine when he's speaking with one of them rather than with the original.
* ''[[Bakemonogatari]]'': Suruga Kanbaru wears this, in conjunction with her [[Joshikousei|school uniform]]. Of course it's left unclear whether or not she's actually wearing anything underneath them.
Line 43:
* ''[[Rental Magica]]'': In the oh-so-often-repeated flashback sequence showing how Honami and Itsuki first met, one cannot help but notice Honami's shorts under her skirt.
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* Added to [[Supergirl]]'s costume in late 2009. According to the artist Jamal Igle, “At the first meeting I had with [Matt Idleson, the editor] after I got the book, he said, ‘I never want to see Supergirl’s panties again'."
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* ''SOS Pretty Cure'': "Sorry to disappoint."
* Cure Dragon wears this in ''Futari wa Pretty Cure Dragon''; Rica Watson also wears this with her school uniform.
Line 53:
* In the ''[[RWBY]]'' fanfic ''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12606073/1/Service-with-a-Smile Service with a Smile]'', Jaune notes when spending time with her that Cinder wears tight black bike shorts under her slinky red dress.
== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Kiki's Delivery Service]]'' uses the bloomers variety to avoid inappropriate upskirt shots of the often-flying heroine.
* In the first ''[[Resident Evil (film)|Resident Evil]]'' film, Alice wears black shorts underneath her red dress.
Line 59:
* In ''[[The Poseidon Adventure]],'' all of the women except Stella Stevens were wearing shorts under their evening gowns, for some reason.
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Firefly]]'': River wears black bike shorts under her dresses. There's a couple times where she skips the skirt part and just wears the shorts with a top, as well.
* See a female in a skirt on ''[[Power Rangers]]''? There's a really good chance that they have either black or [[Color-Coded for Your Convenience|Ranger colored]] shorts on underneath. [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|Kimberly]] has gone even further by wearing [[Department of Redundancy Department|shorts over shorts]].
Line 68:
* The animated ''[[Caramelldansen]]'' girls are shown wearing shorts under their short skirts when [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvq9r6R6QAY they're] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A67ZkAd1wmI dancing].
== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[Persona 4]]'': Chie wears shorts under her skirt.
** In the [[Spin-Off]] ''Persona 4: Dancing All Night'' and its ''[[Persona 3]]'' and ''[[Persona 5]]''-based successors, all girls (at least those wearing skirts) wear them except, oddly, the seven year old Nanako who wears panties that are quite detailed compared to everyone else's shorts.
Line 83:
* Almost all of the ''[[Cartoon Doll Emporoium]]'' dress-up dolls, since they're made for kids, will have shorts when you strip them instead of normal panties, although while a few games have normal panties, they are usually black. The ''Dress Up Dream'' dolls, which usually share ties with CDE, do this same thing.
== [[Web Original]] ==
* It's hard to be sure, but during V1-3 of ''[[RWBY]]'' it appears that Cinder Fall wears black shorts underneath her slinky red dress.
==
* On ''[[Recess]]'', Upside-Down Girl wears shorts under her jumper to avoid any panty shots when she's hanging from the monkey bars.
* ''[[She-Ra and the Princesses of Power]]'' (the 2018 remake of ''She-Ra: Princess of Power'') shows She-Ra wearing what looks like bike shorts under her skirt.
== [[Real Life]] ==
* Junior high school girls in Japan typically wear their gym shorts (knee-length) under their (longer than knee-length) uniform skirts.
** This also applies to elementary school girls; some of them wear shorts to keep their modesty.
