Bermuda shorts: Yay? Or Nay?
I want to like Bermuda shorts. Really I do. I love the thigh coverage they can offer me. But why oh why must they be cut so narrow? The shape of them does nothing for me and REALLY nothing for my calves. I hate that there are all these long, seemingly perfect shorts everywhere (even though it's not really #$% warm enough to wear them here yet!) and I can't wear them.
Other (thin, tall, tan) people can wear them and they look cute, but I just can't pull it off. And the plaid? I do not need plaid anywhere near my lower body, thanks.

I wish I could say Yay. I say yay for other people but so nay for me. I have the same problem with fit and cut. I would LOVE to find shorts that I like since I live in the DESERT but they make legs look very short and stubby. So I have to say nay. That's why I usually wear skirts in the summer, in the desert.
Hey, don't you live in the desert? :) Cute skirts hmm? I may have to do some investigating.
Nay. They make me look even shorter and fatter. I don't need the help.
I was all for them until I looked at the picture of me and airlea/dbk on my site. I'm switching back to skirts - thank goodness I have a dozen of them! Too bad it's about 40 degree's at my office though...
I love them on really thin people but on me they just look strange. And I have long legs. Unfortunately, I don't have skinny legs so they just make me look heavier than I already am. I'm with the other girls, I'm a skirt girl in the summer.
I want to love them for the same reasons. I hate my upper legs more than my lower legs. But I have to Nay. Yet another thing made for the tall size 4 type, and not me.
This doesn't mean that I don't own a couple of pairs for doing yard work. Because, hey, they are longer.
Yea. Because mid-length shorts seem to not exist, and better to have too-long shorts that make my thick legs look even thicker than too-short shorts that unnecessarily expose innocent people to the horror of my thighs.
HATE them. Same problem with the huge thighs. But, I think shorter shorts with flat fronts look a whole lot better than these pieces of crap. Unless you are really thin, or one of those apple shaped ladies (really big on top with skinny legs - like my mother-in-law) then they must go the way of the do-do bird.
oh - try kapris. Love those. And you can usually get away with them at work too.
I'm all about the capris - all summer, anywhere and everywhere.
CAPRIS...BUT YOU'RE PAYING FOR THE WHOLE PANTS!!
