Does anyone else here think 'city shorts' are horrible?

I haven't seen anyone in them looking good. They look like overgrown school boys shorts. YUK!

i liked them for a while, but thanks god i didnt buy any

was passing the high school gates the other day and every teen schoolgirl was wearing a pair of black (uniform is black and red) city shorts

they were all thin, young and fabulous looking

I would never know what to put with them. Besides, I would look stumpy in them. Not the best fashion trend IMO.

I love these, I wear them with heels and any tops I would normally wear with a skirt. They are comfortable, practical and IMHO look fab on me :)

I have two pairs of city shorts. I like them!

I would have no reason to wear them anyway, just to do the housework and school run. Hooray! Having said that, the model on the left in TG's link does look totally fab. She's got legs up to her armpits though.

I think they look good, only if you are very slim and have good legs. I have to say I prefer them to the gypsy skirts of last year though.
