Shorts and short skirts

Chances are, you do not have the legs for them.

Really. I hate to break it to you all. But you probably don't.

A few of you may have, but really most of you won't.

And I know this having seen so many women wandering round town today.

Please don't wear them without a full length mirror and an honest friend.

I do not, I have overhanging knees, and I'm a size 6-8. Also have blotchy legs.

Sometimes, more clothing is less!

darkandstormy · 23/05/2010 11:40

only those size 8, and under 25 please.

doggiesayswoof · 23/05/2010 12:56

sorry - but you are all fascists

maybe they knew they didn't have the legs for it, but didn't actually give a fuck

(I will only wear shorts on the beach in a different country personally)

I am 37, size 6-8 and have good legs - I'll wear shorts and mini skirts thank you very much

How short are you talking? I'm a size 10. Legs okay with a bit of fake tan, I reckon. My skirt is a few inches above the knee. I'm 35. I think I can get away it.

Tootiredforgodtyping · 23/05/2010 16:14

ohhh its the fashion police. I'll wear what I want, thanks.

traceybath · 23/05/2010 16:17

Well according to some on mn - once you're past 21 you should never wear anything remotely fashionable.

And certainly never wear:

  • jeggings
  • white jeans
  • harem trousers
  • and now shorts/mini skirts

I'll go and buy my nice calf length frock shall I?

Seriously - I find overweight men with no tops on far more offensive to look at than a woman with a nice figure in a pair of shorts.

nowherewoman · 23/05/2010 16:29

According to who? And why do you care anyway?

Disenchanted3 · 23/05/2010 16:33

You just sit in town looking at what people wear?

When I'm out, I'm too busy doing the things I've gone out to do rather than trying to be Gok Wan

People can wear what ever the fuck they like.
