It's time for men to embrace short shorts again, according to French brand Hermes, which put plenty of leg on display at its Paris Fashion Week
"Guys have nice legs too. It's time to see their legs!" Hermes' creative director Veronique Nichanian said backstage at the show
Nichanian said that as gender barriers break down in fashion, "it's especially the men that are coming to steal from women's wardrobes"
There were also some transparent fabrics -- another notable trend this week -- alongside ankle-length trousers and souped-up tank tops
The sandals had openings on the sides but covered the toes, since "men, in general, do not like their feet," said Hermes' shoe designer, Pierre Hardy
"I'm delighted with this openness to a more feminine world. This widens the scope of the men's wardrobe and allows all men to express," Nichanian said
