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.

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

I’ve had to go and do extensive research on this genre of 70s peado
yet to find a single shred of evidence they existed

Thank for the compliments.
I'm a keen and competitive runner = good legs.

This is exactly who I expect to see wearing these types of shorts.

Yes

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.

They suit you fine, OP.

They might not suit you if they were too tight on your thighs or gave you a prominent muffin top or obvious wedgies. I can't see those issues. Unless there was something very unsightly or upsetting about your legs, like scars from self-harm, then baring your legs in public won't make you look bad, either. x

They look great 👍

nomoremsniceperson · 19/05/2026 07:28

They look great. If I had legs like you I'd prob be in them every day.
What's your sister's issue with them?

Very strange comment.

Even if people have what you would consider 'unsightly' legs, they can still wear shorts. It's life not a beauty contest.

Besides, that's not what her sister said is it??

Not sure what your comment was for except to make people with less lovely legs feel bad.

I would that’s why I said it. Like a US camp leader. It’s a whole aesthetic people fancy dress as

I like them. I recently bought a similar pair from Zara in a slightly lighter wash and love them

ClaredeBear · 19/05/2026 18:51

Very nice! Are they comfortable?

LOL. Is that really what I look like?!
I didn't show my face, but I can assure you I don't look like any of the people in your photos.

I haven't worn them beyond taking pics for this thread (since it's bastard cold!), but I think they will be.

Good. I think I’m long in the waist because I always find them a bit uncomfy on me.
