What do you think of these shorts?

I think they’re ok.
My sister says otherwise. The only person in the house to give opinion is 17 yo son (not interested!), so I defer to MN.

They’re fine. Very normal denim shorts.

Comedycook · 17/05/2026 10:06

I like the shape and style. I really dislike the colour but it's a jeans colour that for some reason I just don't like on me or anyone. Anyway, they're totally fine and of course you can wear them.

GreenSedan · 17/05/2026 10:07

They fit you nicely.

Seawolves · 17/05/2026 10:10

What does your sister think is wrong with them? I think they fit you and are perfectly normal denim shorts.

auserna · 17/05/2026 10:10

Absolutely unremarkable. Totally fine. Good fit. Crack on.

BringBackCatsEyes · 17/05/2026 10:12

She said I could do better, that they looked like tailored style but in casual denim. Then said they were prob in fashion and she knows nothing!

Very nice, good fit!

BeagleHound1 · 17/05/2026 10:16

I love them. Seemingly the fashion is really long denim shorts that look really ugly to me or ones that show your bum cheeks. I want these! Where are they from?

emuloc · 17/05/2026 10:19

i like the length of them. Where are they from?

WildLeader · 17/05/2026 10:22

You’ve got exactly the best kind of legs for these shorts. How do you feel in them?

I like them.

I think the label looks like Tu, so Sainsbury’s

BringBackCatsEyes · 17/05/2026 10:25

Thanks all. I’ll keep ‘em.
Yes, Sains TU.

From a style perspective - there is a line across the front, not sure if it’s a crease or deliberate dyeing, which emphasises the skin tight fit at the hips. Fine if that’s what you want - I would absolutely get the next size up, even if that meant getting the waist taken in.

Fukinell · 17/05/2026 10:53

You need to turn them up I think. Try it !

Frumpitydoo · 17/05/2026 10:56

They look lovely on you.

babyproblems · 17/05/2026 10:58

They’re fine but I also hate the colour.
its such a dated denim wash. I’d much prefer a denim short in light or mid wash blue with a paper bag waist. The length is good. But the colour and style makes them look a bit Matalan to me. I think much nicer ones exist; if you care! Which you aren’t obliged to!

SqueakyFromme · 17/05/2026 11:00

Lovely, classic rather than dated

shuffleofftobuffalo · 17/05/2026 11:00

I think they look great!

Edited

I see what you mean. For supermarket shorts, I absolutely would not be spending money on taking the waist in if I sized up though.

The fit you well. I love a pair of denim shorts

Kedgiree · 17/05/2026 11:12

I love them and want some.

@babyproblems 😂 I must be making every mistake possible but I’m happy.

binliner · 17/05/2026 11:13

They are fine but I think would look more stylish a little bit longer and a bit more A-line.

I like my shorts a bit baggier but that’s personal preference

I like them and they look good on you. It's a length I've never been able to wear because they end where my thighs are biggest, but I envy people who can look good in them.
