Hello everyone,

Please take a look at the following sentences:

"I'm wearing some nice shorts"
"I'm wearing a nice short"

Which one is correct? Thanks in advance.

Maybe somewhere you can use short for a mini-skirt, (a singular noun), but reffering to the concept of "trousers" (a plural noun) I'm used to shorts.

"I'm wearing some nice shorts" is correct.

You can wear a "mini" but not a "short."
