Something like these with a plain-ish top, nipped in jackay and heels. Hot or not?

I like the sound of the outfit in principle but I'm going to say not. But that's probably my own ishoos as I always resemble a cub scout leader/dodgy looking tourist when I try and wear bermuda shorts.

Dammit Tulpe, that's not the look I was aiming for and I DON'T BELIEVE that you would ever look like that.

I have worked with two different ladies who did shorts for the office. On one they worked, and on the other they didn't.

Two factors:

  1. How formal the office is. Previous office was quite formal and nobody ever had the courage to saw it to her face, but some of the older crustier people moaned about them being 'in-appropriate.'
  1. How tall and slim you are. Hate to say it, but on the lady where it worked, I think the key reason was that she is about 5 ft7/5 ft 8 and a size 8 max, with good legs. On the lady where it didn't - she was probably an inch or two short and more like a 12. They just didn't flatter.
