Daisy Dukes were coined back in the late 1970s when the actress playing the character Daisy Duke in the TV show The Dukes of Hazzard sported short-shorts. The style became synonymous with her character, hence, the name of the garment stuck.
The shorts were worn to accentuate actress Catherine Bach’s long legs.
Daisy Duke shorts are shorts with no inseam. It’s a garment that accentuates her behind (and barely or doesn’t even cover it entirely) and also the place where her legs meet.
What kind of shorts are Daisy Dukes?
There are denim shorts, and then, there are Daisy Dukes. Those are the extra-short cutoffs made famous by and named after Catherine Bach's character in the TV hit The Duke of Hazzard.
Daisy dukes might just be the favorite summer accessory. But length and style can be kind of a challenge, so rather ather than obsessing over finding the perfect pair.

Initially, producers of the TV show battled with higher up executives over the length of these shorts. Producers knew a gold mine when they saw it, but the executives were hesitant because the shorts were so immodest. Eventually, a compromise was cut: the actress playing Daisy Duke, Catherine Bach, would be allowed to wear them but must also wear pantyhose under them so ‘nothing was accidentally shown.’ THAT should tell you how short these shorts were. Any garment that tiny which needed hosiery to keep the girl bits in place and hidden, is too short.
Hence, Daisy Dukes are a no-go for Christian women and there shouldn’t even be an argument for wearing them. They are not modest. Girls, young women, and wives & moms should avoid these kinds of garments that flash the private parts. However, the pastor’s blog below shows that the battle rages among his youth group, and some married women professing a Christian faith even argue FOR wearing them. Seems crazy, but it’s true. So these modesty limits must be mentioned.
