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

[TinyGang]

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

they make my arse look as wide as a small country.
Am too short for shorts.

Only Cod looks good in them.

I got a pair of the short spotty ones in Zara last week. Love 'em.

Short spotty shorts would not even register on my shopping radar

or lesbian PE teacher

No matter how well cut the shorts I'd always resemble either of the above in them. Total respect to any woman who looks good in them.

I also look fab in mine :)

To look good these shorts need to be on the knee or just below, they shouldn't be above the knee unless worn with tights for winter. I wear them for meetings, I have to look smart, instead of a dress or skirt. I get really hot in the summer in jeans/trs and sometimes sweaty in skirts, these shorts are a middle ground.

You don't need to be that tall or THAT skinny - I am a size 14 and 5'3", but my arse isn't that wide, it just goes back a long way!!! :o

I would NEVER wear skinny jeans, but these are fab.

lol@ ginge

Think depends on the legs in them. I think I would look awful in them and for me should be avoided at all costs!

They make you look like Angus Young

dh said that to me when i got mine.

but then recanted

My BIL laughed at mine! I don't care though, as I like them!

only because you are such a harriden that his life wouldn't have been worth living had he maintained his position.....

lol

ROFLMAO at CD looking Like Angus Young.

Hahaha yes of course! Now all of you who think they're good \link{http://www.rsip.lsu.edu/tom/images/tomang1.jpg\RECONSIDER!}

no no sod off it is COD who looks like him not me

grrrrrr

I wore mine yesterday - with ballet shoes, two layered vest tops and a shrug. It looked fine. It was only for doing the school run, playing with DD and her presents, going to soft play etc. But it was not too cold but v. wet and I would have got the bottom of my jeans soggy. That was why I wore them.

I love them too

Am wearing some now, think they are perfect SAHM attire as quite smart but far more practical and comfy than a skirt - its nice to have a break from jeans.

Im wearing black ones today with black sweater and white ballet pumps.

gopd too cold for that here

I dont get it when you say its too cold for them

Its only a bare calf really, do you never wear skirts?

agree with freshstart. My SIL was wearing jeans and boots (again) but I just get bored with the same old jeans/boots/top combo for 10 months out of the year. It wasn't that cold, just very wet. And they are just a pair of trousers - they will wash.

I work in the City and I can confirm they look absolutely horrendous on everyone.

When I see people in them I have this desperate urge to ask them if they looked in a mirror before they left for work that morning.... particularly from the side and behind.

hideous fashion felony
