Very short shorts (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
hot pants
'very short shorts' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for hot pants that I've seen before include "Brief skin-tight shorts worn by young women" , "Skimpy garment" , "These highlight bottom" , "revealing attire" , "Women's very brief shorts" .)
