  • a pair of shorts comprises a front panel, a back panel, a left side seam on an anterior portion of the shorts, a right side seam on an anterior portion of the shorts, and an inseam along a midline of the shorts between the anterior portion and a posterior portion of the shorts.
  • FIGS. 1-2 front and rear perspective views of a wearer 10 with a lower torso apparel item having offset side seams is depicted in accordance with aspects herein.
  • the body 12 of the wearer 10 having a pair of shorts 14 is depicted from a perspective view to include the anterior (front) 16 side and a posterior (back) 18 side.

As such, although referred to as a pair of shorts assembled from joining the front panel 20 and the back panel 22 along the offset side seams 24, it is contemplated that the front and back panels 20 and 22 may include multiple pattern pieces, such as multiple segments of fabric, that are joined together at multiple seams to provide a common material for the front and back panels 20 and 22.
  • the front panel 20 may include an inseam edge, a left side seam edge, a right side seam edge, an upper edge, and a bottom edge
  • the corresponding back panel 22 may include an inseam edge, a left side seam edge, a right side seam edge, an upper edge, and a bottom edge
  • the front panel 20 may be joined to the back panel 22 in a variety of ways, including sewing, serging, gluing, bonding, adhesives, binding, lacing, etc., and is not limited to a sewn seam edge.
  • the front panel may be attached along only a portion of the left and right offset side seam 24 edges, as shown in the various aspects having a seam flange 44 along the bottom edges of the left leg opening 40 and right leg opening 42.
  • the midline 28 of the shorts 14 is a midpoint between the anterior 16 and posterior 18 sides of the shorts 14.
  • the midline 28 represents an intersection line of a frontal or coronal plane that divides the shorts 14 into generally equal front and back halves.
  • the offset side seam 24 is displaced anteriorly a distance 30 with respect to the midline 28.
  • the left and right offset side seams 24 may be longitudinally oriented, parallel in a longitudinal direction such that the left and right offset side seams 24 join the front panel 20 and the back panel 22 at a predetermined location with respect to the midline 28.
  • the shorts 14 may optionally include a pocket 32 along the offset side seam 24, with an opening along the offset side seam 24 providing access to a pocket cavity.
  • the opening of the exemplary pocket 32 of FIG. 3 is positioned in an offset location towards the anterior side 16 of the shorts 14. This location may provide easier access to the wearer 10.
  • the pocket 32 may be an integral feature sewn into the offset side seam 24, or may include an opening proximate/adjacent to the offset side seam 24. Any and all aspects, and any variation thereof, are contemplated as being within aspects herein.
  • the pair of exemplary shorts 14 includes offset side seams 24 with respect to the inseam 36 of the shorts 14, and is shown in an assembled configuration.
  • the inseam 36 is positioned along the midline 28 (depicted in FIG. 3), while the offset side seam 24 is shifted towards the anterior 16 side of the shorts 34 away from the midline 28. Accordingly, the lower portion of the offset side seam 24 is positioned closer to the large muscle groups on the upper thigh of a wearer, rather than the hips or sides corresponding to the midline 28 or inseam 36.
  • the inseam 36 includes a left leg inseam and a right leg inseam.
  • the left leg opening 40 includes a left inseam segment of the front panel 20 and a left inseam segment of the back panel 22, while the right leg opening 42 includes a right inseam segment of the front panel 20 and a right inseam segment of the back panel 22.

  • Each of the left and right leg openings 40 and 42 may further include a lower edge seam flange 44 along a bottom edge of the shorts 14, which may provide for an increased range of motion for a wearer's legs when applying force against the front panel 20 and/or the offset side seams 24 (e.g., during running motions).
  • the left leg opening 40 may include a first segment of the front panel 20 bottom edge and a first segment of the back panel 22 bottom edge
  • the right leg opening 42 may include a second segment of the front panel 20 bottom edge and a second segment of the back panel 22 bottom edge.
  • the first segment of the front panel 20 for forming the left leg opening 40 may be narrower in width than the first segment of the back panel 22, providing a left offset side seam 24 in an assembled configuration.
  • the second segment of the front panel 20 forming the right leg opening 42 may be narrower in width than the second segment of the back panel 22, providing a right offset side seam 24 in an assembled configuration.
  • the wider segments of the portions of the back panel 22 sewn to the inseam 36 and side seam edges of the front panel 22 provides an offset positioning of the resulting offset side seams 24.
  • each of the front and back panels 20 and 22 may be equally divided such that the outer edge of the panels becomes the offset side seam 24, and the interior edge becomes the inseam 36.
  • the left and right leg openings 40 and 42 may be formed, in part, by joining the front panel 20 to the back panel 22 along the inseam 36 proximate the midline 28. Additionally, the left and right leg openings 40 and 42 may be formed, in part, by joining the front panel 20 to the back panel 22 along the offset side seams 24 proximate the anterior 16 side of the shorts 14.
  • the left and right side seams 24 are offset with respect to the longitudinally oriented inseam 36 in an anterior direction.
  • each of the resulting left and right leg openings 40 and 42 may facilitate a greater range of motion for a wearer requiring forward and backward travel of their legs in the shorts 14, with a minimized front panel 20, a maximized back panel 22, and an anterior 16 shifted, offset pair of side seams 24.
  • the exemplary offset side seam herein may be incorporated into other lower torso apparel items. Examples include pants, capris, leggings, compression pants, underwear, outerwear, and the like. Any and all aspects, and any variation thereof, are contemplated as being within the scope herein.
