I bought myself some shorts yesterday

Shorts* not shirts

If you've got it flaunt it. When you get to my age your gorgeous legs will be a fond memory.

Lol Jane10
It could get a bit complicated with the braces and my 34G frontage !

I can’t believe some of the comments on here . Women being so judgemental about other women’s appearance .

Flaxseed I am in France at the moment and I bought them in a sports chain here called Decathlon. It does have branches in the UK. There is one near me in Oxford. The labels on mine include the English as well as French size so may be.

I looked on their UK website and found them :

I'm an equal opportunities critic of appearances. I don't like to see anyone over the age of 8 in shorts!

I wear shorts more now than I used to (though don’t go out far in them). I’ve come to the conclusion that no one is really going to take that much notice of what my legs look like despite the thread veins! It’s probably me that thinks they look worse than they perhaps do. Anyway, they are so much cooler than trousers at the moment! ?

You are quite correct old batty I am a nasty piece of work.
No more to be said really.
It must be wonderful to be totally non judgemental. What’s your secret?

Actually, Jane10, I do look behind me, and think I’m ok, thank you very much. ? Now leggings on me, that’s another story - I look like a stick insect!!

Mapleleaf don't get me started on leggings!!
Bring out the burkas!

?? Jane10.
Some people look really good in them with the right tops along with some height. Me, on the other hand......

Marmite ?

Nothing beats my short flappy shorts when the heat’s up.

Oh dear!

I have been wearing shorts all summer. Bought a bike two weeks ago. Now I have swollen knees. Not very fetching in shorts!

I find shorts so much easier & more comfortable when working/lazing in the garden; floaty dresses & skirts don't quite cut it for me when I'm cutting back the undergrowth, swinging from a ladder or lounging on the sunbed. I'd feel obliged to slap on the full face paint to compliment the look

I don't wear them. My legs are not fit to be seen by other members of the human race. Lots of varicose veins and a huge swollen foot from when I broke it. I also wear a tubigrip on the swelling a lot of the time. That is hot!!!

I'm over 60 and I have lived in shorts and a strappy vest, or strapless top, every day for weeks. I put a top with wider straps on if I have to go into town but for gardening and dog-walking, nobody needs to worry what I look like. I have some elastic waisted Reebok and Adidas shorts, and a linen pair from the charity shop. My legs aren't bad, a short scar and a few broken veins but they're slim, toned and this year they're tanned too.

I don't bare my midriff though!!!

Thanks for the link M0nica.

I like them

Well Grans. Want a laugh? Guess what I'm wearing? Yes shorts. Well shorts of a sort. As some of you may know, I recently had a total knee replacement op. I have long scar down my knee. It's very sensitive to the feel of anything on it. I had a brainwave this morning and cut the legs off an old pair of stretchy cotton trousers. Result - a pair of longish shorts. I look appalling I them! Of course nobody must ever see me wearing them (DH and DD are away) and I'll deny that I have them if anyone asks!!

I always wear shorts all summer! My legs are passable but quite frankly as I wear them for my comfort I don’t much care what anyone else thinks ???

Well said, NannaandGrampy. At the end of the day, what does it matter what anyone else thinks??

Yes it's only a matter of personal pride and if people have none that's their affair.

Just seen a photo of me playing Walking Netball in my skort. I'm surprised nobody was blinded by the whiteness of my legs!

I have plenty of personal pride thank you very much! However it goes out of the window on a hot sticky summer's day when I don't give a t* * * about how I look or whoever sees me. At least I don't hide behind closed doors pretending I'm not actually wearing 'shorts' . Come on Jane10 selfie time...

I have far too much consideration for others to post such a picture Marmight. Life is bad enough for people without that!
