Do you wear shorts?

small fry · Chanel

I love shorts and I wear the bermuda shorts although I would like to find some that are a little shorter but not to short. I would say a few inches above my knee. I found mine at dillards last summer they were on sale.

I loathe shorts. I have one pair that I wear when I go fishing with my dad at the lake. Other than that, it's skirts for me in the summer. My issue with skirts is that they make me feel like a cow when I sit down. I hate seeing my thighs like that on a chair. Blech! So I stick to skirts. Skirts make me feel feminine and pretty and they're great in the southern humidity in the summer.

Yes, yes, yes I do....I definitely do. I guess I think I have the ideal shorts-wearing-legs...which could sound totally egotistical...but... :)

I wear both regular shorts and bermuda shorts and capris....and skirts...all summer long.

I'm with NCshopper, I hate wearing shorts. I wear them to the gym and probably three or four other times throughout the year. I really like cropped pants and skirts in the summer.

I haven't been a shorts person for years - I always thought they looked really sloppy. But I fell in love with bermuda shorts last summer. They make me feel so long and lean, and I'm only 5'3"!

I have not worn shorts since I went away to a summer arts program in the 10th grade. That was over a decade ago. I wear light pants during the summer.

luckylily · Gucci

I hate shorts. I just wear skirts in the summer. Well, I wear skirts almost year round.

NCShopper - I think it is really cute that you go fishing with your Dad. Whever I visit my parents my Dad takes me fishing. He loves it!

i HATE shorts. my entire family makes fun of me for not wearing them. but my thighs are to ginormous to wear shorts and look cute.

i stick to dresses and skirts in the summertime.

I wear them. I live in Florida so it's sort of a necessity to wear them at least a few days out of the year. On my body right now, I think shorts are pretty flattering, so I figure I might as well wear them while I can. I have a couple pair of denim shorts that I like and some colorful ones as well. I would like to pick up a pair of the trouser-y looking ones too. I tend to wear skirts more in the summertime but I wear my fair share of shorts, I guess.

I hate shorts! I have thin legs, but I just don't like the way they look on me and don't find them to be comfortable. I live in skirts, dresses, and capris in the summer.

CarrieS · Marc Jacobs

I just started wearing shorts again last summer, so yeah I do wear them. I like them to be somewhat stylish though, like bermudas or my beloved Gap cuffed shorts from last year. I don't wear short shorts EVER.

For the most part though, I'd live in my denim minis if I could

Sandy · Kate Spade

I'm getting back into shorts again. I hated them for years, because I didn't like the way my thighs looked and ey always rode up on me. I have skinny calves but not-so-skinny thighs, so I always felt uncomfortable. I learned that if I size up, shorts don't fit so tight against my legs and they don't ride up as I walk. It took me 20 years to learn that

. I picked up a couple pair of F21's version of Johnson shorts, and I'm looking forward to wearing them and denim shorts when the weather gets nicer.

sfclinevandy · Coach

Other than workout shorts, I have a few pairs from J.Crew and Ann Taylor that I really like. I don't like them too short but they can't be too long either... ideally a 4.5-5 inch inseam.

Chic · Marc Jacobs

I wish I could...I really love all the new shorts that are out now. But my thighs have never let me wear them....

zeitgeist4 · Gucci

I only wear them to walk the dog when it's hot, or if I'm just hanging around home. Otherwise I don't wear them in public.

Cortney1982 · Chanel

Hell no! I'm too white for that. I can barely let myself be seen in cropped pants.

avery · Nine West

I hate wearing shorts...I'm too self conscious about my legs. I live in capri's in the summer.

blink · Coach

I do, but mostly bermuda shorts.

I definitely wear a pair of regular shorts at the lake, like an old navy denim drawstring pair I have.

JackieO527 · Dooney & Bourke

I can't remember the last time I wore shorts. I personally hate shorts!
