I have been out today and am tired of seeing bums cheeks winking at me. Put your arses away.

DP calls them vagina shorts.

Usually worn by flat bummed ladies replete with dimples.

lettertoherms · 22/06/2014 19:40

...YANBU.

MrsBartowski · 22/06/2014 19:42

Oh I agree. If your vagina lips are longer then the crotch of your shorts you should probably re-thin your outfit imo

Pantone363 · 22/06/2014 19:43

Pocket test.

If your back pockets are longer than your actual shorts, NO NO NO

whereisshe · 22/06/2014 19:44

Ahhh Mrs that is a mental image I didn't need! You're quite right though. And in any case tight short shorts don't make you feel less hot - too much running flesh causing sweating.

whereisshe · 22/06/2014 19:44

Running flesh!? Rubbing. Stupid phone.

KarlWrenbury · 22/06/2014 19:44

Plus - they are rubbing their chuff all over public seating slight exaggeration

lol at vagina shorts

High waisted play suits are worse. They look exactly like a baby's sleep suit.

Even worse in ditsy print with elasticated waistband

specialsubject · 22/06/2014 19:52

oh dear, brain bleach please!

not a pretty sight on ANYBODY!

lifehasafunnywayofhelpinguout · 22/06/2014 19:55

I agree o.p. bum cheeks are a no no, that said though. We do live in a free society where we have freedom of choice so I suppose if people want to walk around showing their bum cheeks who are we to say they shouldn't.
Their body. Their choice.x

KarlWrenbury · 22/06/2014 19:55

I like the high waisted ones all the teenagers wear, makes me feel old though as there's not much I know I definitely couldn't wear now but that's definitely one. I don't think you need a perfect figure to wear them but you have to be young. I saw a girl today wearing them with a crop top, she was maybe 19 and not beautiful or perfect looking at all, but she looked fab due to being youthful and insouciant

I wore a short playsuit to the zoo today and it felt ace , really comfy and practical and I think it looked good, like a dress but a bit more modern. From Hennes but not on their site, fifteen quid. Not floral or viscose though - silky polyester in a taupe and black scribble print. Just with flipflops - I saw some real ott styling of play suits and jumpsuits with gold belts and bling and patterns and sparkle that there was no need for .

Oh dear I'm waffling, I blame a day of sun and wine to calm my nerves now we're home

Branleuse · 22/06/2014 19:57

i don't understand how they dont just feel all weird and naked. It seems a bit imposing to show everyone your arse like that

ThermoLobster · 22/06/2014 19:57

This makes me glad I have been at home gardening all day! Not with my bum cheeks out I hasten to add!

KarlWrenbury · 22/06/2014 19:59

just for the whole hog and get these

Pantone363 · 22/06/2014 20:02

TBH I'd rather see short shorts and play suits all day long rather than all the fully clothed women sweating their tits off on the beach today. Men in shorts, kids in swimmers, women fully clothed and beet root.

British people are weird on the beach.

TheReluctantCountess · 22/06/2014 20:03

They don't look good on anyone at all.

TheReluctantCountess · 22/06/2014 20:04

I'd rather be fully clothed and sweating than let people see my humongous nearly-naked self.

whereisshe · 22/06/2014 20:15

Pantone it's not just the beach. Any warm weather sends the country slightly bonkers. At least everyone's cheerful Grin

divingoffthebalcony · 22/06/2014 20:16

I've just realised you mean bum cheeks hanging out the bottom of short shorts and not extreme bum cleavage Grin

I once saw a tourist on Oxford Street with so much bum cheek hanging out of her shorts they must have been giving her a horrifically painful wedgie! I was aghast

lettertoherms · 22/06/2014 20:20

The other day I saw a girl in spandex shorts so tiny and tight that I could have conducted a lesson on female anatomy using her as a visual aid.

I'm all for freedom to wear whatever but private parts should not be on display where you're walking around shops.

CanaryYellow · 22/06/2014 20:23

As a general rule, if more if your arse is hanging out of the shorts than is in them, then it's a no.

JohnFarleysRuskin · 22/06/2014 20:29

Oh I love the short playsuits on a leggy teen (v jealous)

The arse shorts, no, not so much.
