The 16 most amazing pairs of jorts at the Indy 500
If you don't know what jorts are, it's probably for the best that you stop reading at this period. You probably won't enjoy what's coming next, but if you're still interested, click here.
Now, for those of you who know what jorts are and are still going to keep reading, godspeed.
We can all agree that one of the hallmarks of any race day is an encounter with a good pair of jean shorts. Be they frayed, short, long, hole-y, unholy or any variation thereof, they’re plentiful at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Lady Gaga even came prepared, though it's probably safe to say her pair of black cuffed jorts cost more than most found at the track.
So we set out on race weekend to find the best of the best at the 100th running, and kept track of them using #500jorts.
Here's what we found:
1. The dual personality
This girl couldn't decide between stonewash and indigo wash, so she went for both.
2. Overall patriotic
This is a combination of all things 500 fashion: Overalls, jorts and American flag apparel.
3. Couple of jorts
It's a rare sight to have a woman wearing more clothes than the men out at the Speedway, but...here we are.
4. Relaxed fit
This guy's doing just what his jorts want him to do.
5. Country Western patriotism
Can't top a classic like this.
6. Would you call these jortsveralls or joveralls?
Or jeansveralls?
7. Another jortsveralls sighting
Maybe these are real pants. They might not qualify for #500jorts, but we're including them anyway.
8. Jorts and Chucks
These ladies are wearing the official Indy 500 uniform, and doing it right.
9. Suspended jorts
Captain America doesn't need suspenders, bros.
10. Love and jorts
They say romance is dead.
11. Romping to VIP
The jorts onesie is rarely seen in the wild.
12. Pockets and nipple piercings
We've got nothing more to add.
13. Jorts couture
Obviously, these are custom.
14. 'Merican jorts
It's in the Constitution.
15. Goodwill jorts
Well, these just make sense.
16. Fashion jorts
They couldn't camouflage any better if they were...camo. (What "beer gut," Charlotte?)
17. Bonus: Jeans
Just jeans.
