Shorts

Socialworkgirl · May 2013

So last summer, I was very pregnant or still had lots of baby weight so I did not wear shorts out in public. I have never been a big shorts wearing person anyway. Do you wear shorts in public? If so what kind?

All my jeans are currently being washed so I am wearing some dark denim ones that are a little above the knee and not super tight a la skinny jeans but kind of slim fitting. I have no idea if this would be considered way out of style or not.

I don't ever wear shorts. Well, it's really rare that I do. I like shorts on people, just not myself.
If you are talking about Bermuda length shorts, those are cute! I still see people wearing them a lot.

I wear shorts all the time! They're mostly (or maybe all?) from Old Navy. I have one pair of short shorts, that are only for the beach or home, etc. 2 pairs that come to about mid-thigh, and 3 pairs that come to just above the knee. None are denim, but I really like denim shorts! I mean, it depends on the specific style, but I'd say yours are fine...

I live in GA, so I have to wear shorts occasionally. I am short, so I pick shorter shorts, but tall people can totally get away with bermuda shorts. Pair with a tank and flippies or wedges and CUTE. I'm not so sure about denim bermuda shorts though. Sorry.

I love New York and Company's. Unfortunately ours just closed down. :[ Old Navy has a good variety too. And yes, bermuda shorts are still in style.

I have on shorts right now. It's freaking 90* out, what else would I wear?

DevonPow · May 2013

I wear shorts. I am not personally a fan of longer shorts - I wear a 3 or 4 inch inseam usually (I'm 5'9"). My favorite pair is from J Brand (not denim but an almost chambray like material). I also have pairs I like from J Crew and Anthropologie (don't know the brand for the Anthro ones and I'm too lazy to go into my closet to check). I work hard for my legs - lots of running, lunges, and squats!

I wear shorts all the time. I am wearing them now. I couldn't imagine the summer here in pants. Most of the shorts I wear have 4 to 5 inch inseams. Gap and J Crew are my go to shorts.

JCM · May 2013

I live in Texas so shorts are must during summer here! The ones you describe sound fine & not out of style at all.

Allycat11 · May 2013

I am typically not a fan of shorts. I wear a lot of skirts in the Summer. Last year I found a pair of shorts at ON that fall an inch or 2 above the knee and they are very comfortable. Around the house I wear athletic shorts and occasionally I may run a quick errand in those.

ETA: Not a fan of wearing shorts. I have no problem with other people wearing shorts as long as they cover their butt.

I wear shorter shorts, like 3 or 4 inch inseam, not like booty shorts [although, when you're just over 5 foot, no shorts are booty shorts]. I like Old Navy, and AE; I also have a pair of Levi's that are great.

LatteLady5 · May 2013

Yes. I am in some now but more workout style. My hips have really widened up since getting pregnant this time and it's really getting hard to hide. I like denim sorts and other styles as well. I really dislike the really short, shorts though. I don't think they really look good on anyone regardless of size. I have a few pairs of old jeans I am going to turn in to appropriate length shorts later this week. It's officially on my to do list.

I wear shorts all summer. It's way too hot here not to. I like the 4ich chino shorts from Jcrew and the 3 1/2inch shorts from Old Navy.

id012 · May 2013

I hate shorts because i hate my legs so much. I remember hating my legs in 5th grade and refusing to wear shorts then!

Anyway, i always end up giving in to shorts somewhere around july when its just way to hot to wear pants.

I usually wear like yoga pant material capris until i break out the shorts.

JaysonandKristin · May 2013

I don't wear shorts. It gets hot as hell out, so I'll rock tanks and tube tops with capris and longer skirts, but no shorts.

When I work out, I'll wear soccer shorts. I also have some dolphin shorts made of terrycloth that I will wear over my swimsuits on my way to and from the water.

LOL!! I am 5'9" so the 3" inseam look like booty shorts on me!!

penguingrrl · May 2013

I only wear shorts to work out. Otherwise I do wide leg capri yoga pants or skirts/dresses. Shorts just aren't flattering on me. I'm short and somewhat chubby and they make me look shorter and chubbier (even if I'm in a size 4 or 6 shorts I look chubby in them). I haven't worn shorts in public since HS when I realized how awful I looked in them.

NHbride129 · May 2013

I wear shorts but I had a friend tell me recently that I'm the only person she knows that wears shorts...lol. My legs are thin but pale...so I don't always love wearing them. Most moms I know wear skirts and casual dresses instead.

penguingrrl · May 2013

I should add that I spent 7 summers working in a living history museum wearing 1830s clothing. After that even full length pants (which I don't wear in summer) are bearable.

sbevmc09 · May 2013

I don't wear shorts and I hate that I don't feel comfortable in them because it gets really effing hot outside. I pretty much just wear jeans or capris, which are like... short jeans on me. *sigh*

I actually just ordered a pair of shorts from ON last night. I'm trying to branch out a bit with my wardrobe. I'm really hoping I feel like I can wear them

kcisthebombdotcom · May 2013

Yes, I wear shorts now and always had, even when I was hugely pregnant or 30lbs overweight. I think it's crazy not to.

i really have a wide variety. I have longer, dressier ones for doctors appointments. I have super short shorts for the beach and everything in between. I do a lot of sundresses as well though.

Angela814 · May 2013

Yes, I wear shorts when it's hot. I have 30 to 40 lbs to lose and never considered not wearing them. I do wear longer shorts now, but at 5'4" and curvy I think shorter shorts are more flattering when I'm thin enough to pull them off. I wear skirts and dresses too, but I hate when my legs stick together when I walk.

hmd · May 2013

I will wear them but try to avoid exposing my super pale legs.

karen_loy · May 2013

Yes I do; either mid-tight or above the knee

Samiantha101 · May 2013

I absolutely wear shorts! I'm so close to wearing my prepregnancy shorts, however I don't think I'll go out in public with those. I stick to the Bermuda shorts for public outings.

bumpuser8448316 · May 2013

I don't wear shorts. Ever. In the summer I wear skirts and sundresses.

notkateanymore · May 2013

I look better in shorts that are short and wider legged...not bermuda style. They look ridiculous on me. I wear 3 to 5 in inseam shorts.

pevila · May 2013

I love wearing shorts. I have long, thin legs, and this year I decided that I was going to embrace my paleness, so I wear them with no problems.

Socialworkgirl · May 2013

Glad to know I'm not completely out of style and thanks for the suggestions on where to buy!

jnksmom · May 2013

I wear shorts now but I went through a time where I didn't. I am not a fan of my legs especially when they are so white but I learned to get over it. I usually wear 3-5in inseam. I don't like the way bermuda shorts look on me.
