Summer Style

[IAmNotACowbag]

AIBU to think that those french knicker style denim shorts (NOT hotpants) are going just a bit too far? The ones that go up in a v shape on the bum and reveal half the person's arse?

The comfort of your own garden is one thing, but showing literally half your arse while walking around the supermarket?!

Haven't seen them but they sound as tacky as hell.

Is this kind of thing, but a bit higher cut are what I keep seeing! Imagine them on someone who has an average sized bum rather than a small one. They ride "in" iyswim while the wearer walks, adding to the bum visibility.

They're horrible, YANBU.

They are bloody awful. Their fannys must be red raw.

I saw a lot of women wearing these with opaque black tights in the winter and thought that was borderline. Not looking forward to seeing them with bare legs :(

FREE that's what I thought! I also thought they must have an extreme wax also!

Well I think my Daisy Duke days are over, definitely.

I saw a few young women dressed like this when we had that mild spell in March.

Too many "alsos"!

Quenelle that's when I first saw this phenomenon in Tesco's. Having a stroll in my local park earlier in the week revealed even more!

I'd never wear them anyway as I'm too chubby and old but they look so uncomfortable. Imagine how hot and sweaty in this weather.

My DD would have them on in a heartbeat though if I let her, probably with opaques.

They should come with a free tube of canesten.

MissMogwi I don't think it's so bad when there's opaques or leggings under them. They do look might chaffey (sp?) to me! And v high maintenance. Imagine the hair removal, the body brushing and moisturising etc. You'd have to ensure you were bikini ready with a pert rear to carry them off.

I think they're lovely...if you're a skinny 16 year old. I'm 33 and my legs and arse look like they belong to someone of 25 stone, so it won't be a look I'm going for.

Sam It's not the "look" as such that shocks me, I fear I may be a bit victorian in my views on revealing flesh! I thought hotpants were risque!

Oh no, I think they look good on the slim and young but not in this heat! :O

Still looks uncomfortable to me though. Tights and shorts is too much gussetness for moi.

I like them

I'm sure they'd look great on slim/toned teenagers.

It's settled then. We're generally worried about potential thrush and I am unreasonably victorian

Were they in the medicine aisle getting cystitis medicine? :)

I might pour myself into some for the school run. I can just imagine my DD's faces of horror.

MissMogwi

I may do the same for the office I work in! (I have def NOT got the figure or hair removal regime TMI for them and the office is staffed with blokes)

I'm Victorian too then as I think far too much flesh is on show

Ah the Daisy Dukes shorts have got to the uk, enjoy watching but keep eye bleach ready. :o

Nothing beats the sight of a couple huge lumps of wobbly cellulite ridden flesh hanging out the bottom of a pair of Daisy Dukes :o

Aint fashion grand ?

This makes me want scream "When the pockets in your cut off denims are longer than the shorts THEY'RE TOO SHORT." And breathe.
