Who wears short shorts?
Hooters waitresses wear short shorts, and some are complaining about how tiny they’re getting. The restaurant chain, known for its scantily clad servers and chicken wings, issued new uniforms, including shorts that look almost like hip-hugger underwear.
Two different companies, either Hooters of America or the Original Hooters, operates each location, and not all of them will implement the uniform update, according to a report.
While Hooters of America will showcase the tighter, shorter shorts at various locations, the Original Hooters will keep the older uniforms.
Complaints of the tight shorts went viral on TikTok on various Hooters servers’ accounts.

The same user posted a video saying her TikTok went viral and that the Hooters CEO contacted her to confirm employees will not be mandated to wear the updated shorts. The Washington Examiner was not able to confirm the claim.

“The ‘Original’ Hooters Restaurants located throughout Tampa Bay, Chicagoland, and Manhattan … will not be changing their iconic uniform of orange shorts and white uniform tops that has made the brand universally famous,” an Original Hooters spokesperson told NBC News.
The updated uniforms at the Hooters of America locations, though, were “the result of a collaboration with Hooters Girls,” Hooters of America said.
“These uniforms have been worn for months in several Texas markets and have received overwhelmingly favorable reviews from both Hooters Girls and customers,” a spokesperson continued.
The Washington Examiner reached out to Hooters but did not immediately receive a response.
