Персонаж GTA 6 вернул камуфляжные шорты в моду

I’ll be honest from the jump: I did not play Grand Theft Auto growing up. But maybe I will play GTA 6 – if only for the fact that the main character, Jason Duval, is confirming a fashion opinion I’ve long held in my heart: camo shorts are fucking back, baby. Once a staple of American frat bros, guys a little too obsessed with the armed forces and your cousin (specifically when he was 12 years old), camo shorts have made a slow return. The issue is mainly that they’ve been making a return with, well, women. The ladies have been all over it. You couldn’t swing a Chanel handbag at Copenhagen Fashion Week without hitting someone wearing them. But for guys, it’s different. Probably because of the frat-bro, army-obsessed, 12-year-old association, camo shorts have long felt a little juvenile. Too guy-hanging-onto-his-youth. But on Jason, in the GTA 6 trailer, they’re hitting. Our jacked co-protagonist rocks them for a large portion of the 26-minute video. He wears them with a white tee, robbing shops. With Hawaiian shirts, stealing cars. Shirtless when he’s in a Florida swamp. When he’s doing other illegal stuff like shooting people, selling drugs, and being a Miami Dolphins fan. His are baggy, knee-length and studded with pockets, two button-close flap pockets on the hip, and some bigger, bellowed pockets on the leg. The rest is pretty standard: zip placket and belt loops. And yes. I am seriously fashion-analysing this video game character’s shorts. Jesus Christ. On him, they look deadly. Decidedly not juvenile, thanks to the stealing, drugs and killing people thing. (Or do kids do that in GTA? I told you I didn’t play it!) And, of course, obligatory joke: taking your fashion cues from video games! But seriously, GTA 5 took around 32 hours to complete, and that’s without 100-per-centing it. If you’re gonna spend 50 plus hours playing a game, subconsciously picking out some fashion tips ain’t the worst thing. Will I play it? Probably not. I hate it when people are mad at me in real life, let alone in video games. But will I be hoping Jason’s camo shorts help reform their image so I never walk alone? Yes, I will.
