Can I carry off walking shorts on holiday despite hating my legs?

[Chickenlicken15]

Hi I need a pair of shorts just to wear for walking this holiday . I have always hated my legs and NEVER wear shorts but have decided that I really need a pair as it’s too hot to wear cropped trousers
my question is this can I really wear these? Please be honest but gentle x

I love my shorts. Im 55 and have worn them every day since the first heatwave. I rotate between 3 pairs

The bonus is just having your legs out every day is that they will tan.

Tanned legs always look great. Perhaps pop some fake tan on if itll make you feel more confident

Try a skort. Costco have a sporty one at the moment. Lightweight cycling type shorts under a skirt. I think they look very flattering on all leg types and hide your bum and thighs - which I like, but are short. I wear them all the time. They have to zip up pockets too. I have these too also great

I live in shorts in the summer. I have one leg covered in varicose veins front and back. I just ignore them .

There will be loads of non perfect legs in shorts on a walking holiday. No one will be looking.

Definitely this - and wear the nicest top possible, too

I am tall& thin but don’t have great legs - but fake tan makes them a million times better - they look smoother, more toned and evens out veins / weird marks / whatever and makes them look thinner too if that’s what you want. Try it!

I bought these a couple of weeks ago, and have been wearing them CONSTANTLY. They're so comfortable, and have zipped pockets. For less than a tenner. I love them.

This nails it. Have a great time OP.

Damn good point! Every single leg in this world, be it human or animal, is beautiful. How can they not be?

Totally agree.

Just wear the shorts. I got to 50 and decided I no longer care and have worn them ever since.

I hate my legs and have been sweating away in full length leggings at the gym but when I looked around, everyone else my age had shorts on and cellulite and veins and all the things that human legs have and it was just too hot for vanity. I borrowed my teenagers shorts which are from the men’s department at Uniqlo. Super stretchy and comfy, baggy on my thighs, decent pockets and I’ve been wearing them ever since.
