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 look nice. You have a great figure. If I looked that good in shorts I’d be wearing them in winter as well as summer 😂

LameStrangeNameChange · 17/05/2026 12:31

I don’t usually like denim shorts but they are nice and they suit you.

bittertwisted · 17/05/2026 12:38

Really nice, fit perfectly and very flattering

ToadRage · 17/05/2026 12:40

I like them. They look good.

Ohdearnotthisagain · 17/05/2026 12:42

I like lighter denim and also denim shorts look better turned up.

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!

Interestingly apparently paper bag are not in this year and there’s more of a trend for dark wash denim with a 90s throwback feel

Very nice. Definitely keep and wear 🙂

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

I would do this too.

They’ll be really short then. I will try though.

Juliadiesalone · 17/05/2026 19:20

They look like the kind of shorts a paedo would wear in a 70s movie. So I’m going no on that basis

cramptramp · 17/05/2026 19:24

Really nice.

ArtesianWater · 17/05/2026 19:28

They are perfectly nice and fit you well. I know nothing else about you or how you like to dress but if I had legs like yours I'd be wearing something more fashion forward like shorter denim shorts or some of the very pretty scalloped cotton styles that have been around lately. Either way, your sister is wrong. Enjoy your shorts.

YooBlue · 17/05/2026 19:30

I think they are fine - I have several pairs of Tu shorts: v good .

Personally I prefer shorts to feel a bit looser in v hot weather so I might try a size up, but up to you.

Fukinell · 17/05/2026 19:34

Did you try the turn up?!

MSDOUBTFIRE · 17/05/2026 19:35

Just denim shorts really !

What?! Boggle.
I'm pretty sure NO ONE is going to think "oh there goes CatsEyes in her 70's paedo shorts"

Didn’t know if the turn up proponents meant single or double turn. Double def too short. We have cheekage almost showing at the back.
Single looks a bit like they got caught on a chair.
Both ways you remove the A line.
They are quite fitted, but think they will loosen with wear.

ARe they comfy? Do you like them? Do they meet your needs? Doesn't matter what I think about them, I'm not wearing them.

It’s fine.
A couple of PPs suggested they might look good turned up so I tried.
I prefer no turned up I think.

Of course I know it shouldn’t matter what anyone else thinks but I do care and also appreciate the honestly you can get from MN. It’s been really helpful over the years.

For all the folk saying they should be turned up, you’d need to size up or have a looser style for that. I think this fit looks classic and would be nice with an oversized button down shirt or if layering, an oversized sweater with a t-shirt underneath, round collar visible.
