Do you wear shorts?

[y4m]

Gym/running shorts don't count. Do you wear shorts as an adult as part of outfits?

Getting on this train.

Ummm, is there a reason I shouldn't?*

No kidding. Wondering what fashion faux pas I'm making now! :-(

[missajane]

I think I have nice legs. I wear shorts or skirts from May-September as weather permits.

[y4m]

Nothing's wrong with them--I'm just curious what percentage of this group wears them. Inspired by the what do you think of these shorts poll? I didn't even know what to write--I am that far from wearing or judging shorts.

[y4m]

Also if you are pear shaped and short and wear shorts, please identify yourself and tell me where you get them.

[biscoffcookies]

I do, but rarely -- like if I am going to a theme park or some other place where I will be outside in the heat all day.

It's not because I think shorts are a fashion faux pas -- its because I am self-conscious about my jiggly thighs.

ETA: I am pear shaped. I only own two pairs of "real" shorts -- black and khaki -- but I got both from Ann Taylor Loft. Incidentally, the size label in these asserts that I am about 2 sizes smaller than I really am. I am not fooled by your vanity sizing, ATL!

I have one pair of shorts I feel like I look good in. Other than that, no.

[Kore]

I wore them when my thighs were thinner. I prefer skirts now. Or denim skinny capris.

I rarely wear shorts. I dont find them comfortable and I think my legs are super long and I have bony knees making shorts look funny. I will wear dresses though. Just not super short ones for the most part.

[littlemermaid]

Yes in the summer I wear shorts. Shorts look really cute with wedges. This year I bought a few pairs in a variety of colors from WHBM.

[grosnl19]

I do wear shorts, but they are bermuda shorts...those count right?

[otowngirl]

Hell yes I do. And I'm not all that fond of my legs either. BUT capris look even worse on me, so shorts it is! /floridaresident

[Awkward]

Yes, but I wear them longer than most people do. Short shorts get caught up in my thigh fat and create an unflattering bunching. Even then I don't wear shorts or skirts often bc I don't have nice legs, haha.

[Deleted]

Very, very rarely, and only if I find them super cute. I feel frumpy in basic shorts, and I fear that I don't have the legs for shorts anymore really. I did wear shorts once this summer (navy ones with sailboats on them) but even though I love them pattern in theory, I didn't love wearing them.

When it is hot I usually just wear dresses.

[CallingAllAngels]

It's hot as hell here in the summer and I spend my weekend with two very short people who require that I bend over a lot. I wear shorts.

[chessie]

Other then running, gym, no. I wear pants for everything for safety reasons.

[kellygreen]

I wear shorts all summer long but I'm apple shaped.

[my4girls]

Nope, only gym shorts to bum around the house. I hate shorts- much prefer skirts

[mbcdefg]

I have fat legs/thighs and don't feel comfortable in shorts. I wear capris during the summer.

I have legs that I'm not comfortable showing to others. I'm short, squat, and a lot of my weight is in my legs, so they're huge and pasty white. No one needs to see that.

But, I don't much care if other people wear shorts. That's their call.

[kangaroo11]

I love shorts in summer time. It's just too hot not to wear them. I'm pear-shaped and have the best luck with Calvin Klein shorts (I usually get them at Costco).

[mrssavy42112]

I’m apple shaped also, so my legs are a better asset than the rest of my body. While weather allows, I wear shorts on the weekends, when I’m home & to BBQs. I’m in a dress at all other times.

[ESF]

That would be a no. If my thighs weren't like tree trunks, maybe. I stick to skirts when it gets hot.

Please explain...

I'm trying to imagine how wearing shorts to a restaurant/movie/BBQ/friend's house could be hazardous to my health.

[pamela]

Yes, even with my vein covered shins. It's way to hot to spend summers in pants.

[drloretta]

There's nothing wrong with shorts, but some people don't like their legs or have issues. My mom had both knees replaced, and hates her scars. So she won't wear knee-length skirts or shorts any more.

[yourmom]

I can't believe people choose capri's over shorts.
