I haven't worn shorts for years, but in this heat, trousers are so hot.

They are 1950s style, tailored, dark navy but with a tie belt (not a draw string), with a skirt silhouette but clearly shorts. really quite smart

I have them on this morning and they are so cool. I am not sure whether I would wear them out, unless by the sea but for house and garden wear they are perfect. Thankfully my legs are still in good order and can stand scrutiny.

Absolutely Mapleleaf, that’s kind of the message I was trying to get across, maybe not very well, If it doesn’t matter to you that people like me (mean and nasty) are thinking then who cares. We only think it for a second anyway and I don’t think many of us judgemental beings would actually give away what we’re thinking so how would you be bothered by it?
If it hadn’t been for this thread I would have totally forgotten about the humongous woman in her bikini and she is none the wiser so I didn’t do her any harm.

Do you find your shorts comfortable in general, Jane10* , as well as helping the discomfort in your knee?

I do find the flappy kind quite freeing. Can’t say they suit me, but that’s not high on my adgenda if they stop me feeling hot and sticky, and that adds to my confidence, rather than diminishes it ?

ffinochio I'd post a photo of me and my shorts displaying my magnificent but scarred knees but fear it would be too much and might break the Internet!

Legs blotched from too much exposure to the sun at an earlier age! But I used to wear shorts on Ramblers' holidays, usually in warmer climates. Not a pretty sight but nobody cared.

He's at it again. 10.35.54. I wonder where he/she is posting from? " no groin restricting inseams" .

I won't say here what I said on another thread when this person posted. I apologised and promised to reform myself and act like a lady, but I am thinking itgrin

I hae ma doots as my Glaswegian namesake would say.
I am somewhat surprised GNHQ have left the shorts post undeleted. The shirt one is just hilarious tosh.
