hot pants

Thigh-high hemline bottoms

Hot pants are very short, tight-fitting shorts, typically worn by women.

The style emerged in the early 1970s as a fashion statement emphasizing legs and hips: She wore hot pants and platform boots to the disco.

The term can also describe strong sexual desire or arousal: He's got hot pants for his new coworker.
