I'm really fed up with being told that it looks like I'm wearing pyjamas, people joking that I haven't bothered to get dressed today etc.!

AIBU to wear this type of short out of the house? It's 33 degrees where I am currently.

I hate denim shorts, they're bloody uncomfy!

If I was in my teens or 20s with amazing tanned toned legs then yes but I am 38 and wouldn't feel comfortable wearing them now. My 7 year old has a similar pair she sleeps in.

I would!!! They look so cute!!!

They're the shorts version of tracky bottoms so limited appropriateness imo. Park, exercise, local shop, home, garden, errands.
Not work, high street shopping, pub or restaurant.

When I was 17 yes, as a 37 year old I do have similar ones as hot weather pjs I would not wear them out of the house.

I don't have the legs or confidence for these but if you do then crack on, I like them

My dd has just got some of them to go on holiday with.

pinkiponk · 19/04/2017 21:18

I would, I have a similar pair (different brand) :)

Hollister. Whenever I see this word I always think of Hollister leg bags and leg straps. Items for people with bladder and bowel problems. Sorry.

Well they are the short equivalent of sweatpants aren't they. I would wear them for comfort maybe if I popped out somewhere very low key and at home but I wouldn't expect anyone to take them seriously as clothes or to consider me dressed.

MaisyPops · 19/04/2017 21:21

I'd wear them. They're definitely lounge wear/athletic wear but then I also wear yoga pants and leggings out and about.

Stuff like this is fine for chilling, messages/errands. But not for much more than that.

They have identical shorts in primark for £2.50 if you want to try them out on the cheap

Is your backside hanging out. That would explain the comments...

Bluntness100 · 19/04/2017 22:44

I have the grey ones they are kinda pyjama house shorts, I wouldn't wear them out, no.

ohnothisisme · 19/04/2017 23:36

No my butt isn't out Donot. Grin They're quite long shorts I think Blush
