Shorts or not?

I always wear shorts on holiday. I wear them in the garden also. If it’s hot in the summer I wear them out too. When I turned 60 I started wearing bikinis again on holiday. I’m now 66. Wear your shorts when you want in my opinion!

The eye rolling and rude comments were probably me

Or possibly me. I don't actually eye roll or make rude comments but I do have a quiet snigger sometimes.

Everybody should wear exactly what they want and feel comfortable in and ignore everyone else unless you've specifically asked someone's opinion in person.

But if you have very large buttocks I wouldn't recommend wearing tight black joggers with bumble bees on. To anyone walking behind you it looks like you're being chased by a swarm of bumble bees.

I don’t like shorts on anyone over the age of about forty. There’s no need for them. Mutton dressed as lamb is a very real thing. Crops are fine.

I haven’t worn shorts since I was at school, and I didn’t like them even them. I prefer more feminine clothes.

Oh dear 🫤

Thanks all, I’ve just tried them on and they’re going back, mid thigh is not a good look on me, although I’ve just found a pair in my holiday drawers, beige linen, on the knee, quite baggy and they look fine.
It’s not so much about looking good it’s more about being cool in the daytime heat, we’re going to visit my Son and family in Gozo, we will most likely be having early morning strolls and visiting out of the way beaches, so I would wear them for these occasions.
I’ve got floaty skirts and dresses and crops but I do remember wearing these shorts and feeling much cooler and don’t think they will frighten the natives…. 😂

What a lovely thing for your GS to be saying 😘
Myself , I’d love love love to wear shorts alas nowadays my knees are too far & back in the days when I was a teeny size in my teen years I always shied away from them thinking I was “ too skinny “ , if only .
Do envy those who have lovely legs & wear shorts . I may wear them in the garden but that’s about it .
You go for it & enjoy your holiday 😘

Have a very lovely holiday DollyD and be comfortable in whatever you decide to wear. Sounds like you have a lovely family who love you just as you are.

Dolly, have a lovely time, and be sure to have lots of photos of yourself in the offending articles.

Then you can post them here.
