Yuck.

I like shorts but think they're the wrong length. Unless very tall with very thin legs they'd look frumpy.

Make me think of boy's school shorts.

They are a bit AC/DC

Uniqlo had some but it is hard to tell how long they are as there was no model shot.

noddyholder · 10/10/2011 09:13

Have seen teh pied ones too they are about same length as cos ones.

PinotScreechio · 10/10/2011 09:13

I love shorts with thick opaques.
