Fashion is quite subjective. The jorts that are now being cringed upon were once a very cool piece of outfit. Former tennis champ Steffi Graf recently revealed how Andre Agassi impressed her with his jorts. Agassi is well known for his phenomenal presence on the court. However, there is no doubt that he was also quite stylish. Now, as the couple is set to join in on the Pickleball scene, they take some time to remember the past.
Jorts is one of the most complicated pieces of fashion that has gone through hate and love simultaneously. While some absolutely love the idea, others often can’t fathom the very existence of such a thing.

Steffi Graf, with a fond reminiscence, shared: “Andre was totally ahead of his time with the jorts. I loved them. I thought that was the coolest thing out there.” Her admiration for Agassi’s jorts wasn’t just a passing fancy. It was a genuine appreciation for the innovative fashion choice.
She then said: “I mean, you know I love fashion and seeing the boundaries pushed and something so innovative, I thought it was super cool.” Her enthusiasm for pushing fashion boundaries and recognizing innovation provides insight into why Agassi’s jorts became a symbol of his distinctive style.
Ever the charismatic figure, Agassi playfully responded to Graf’s praise with a touch of humor. He stated: “I was cool, you hear that.” His fashion choices were not just personal but resonated with those around him. This also includes his fashion-savvy wife. The legacy of the jorts, it seems, has extended beyond mere denim and stitches. However, the couple is now ready to flaunt something else, as their passion for tennis has taken them to new courts after retirement.
