To wear shorts out and about or just at home?

Would you wear short shorts ? I like to wear shorts under midi dresses with slits at sides ...like to wear shorts at home but am not confident to wear out...

Yes, when the weather is nice I love to wear shorts but not really short ones, I save those for the garden. I like them to be about 2 inches above my knee.

My father wore shorts all the time. No matter what the weather. 88 and trotting round the village with his shorts on. His legs weren't the most attractive but he didn't care.

If you want to wear shorts, wear shorts.

I used to wear shorts a lot but I have the same problem as Lucca my right leg is very unsightly due to varicose veins, my left leg is fine. I won't inflict the sight of my leg on the unsuspecting public. I see no reason why shorts should not be worn whatever your age if you have the legs for them.
( I also have the very thin hair Lucca)

Not me ! That was Maybee.
My legs are just a bit podgy and I have lumpy knees. (Gosh don’t I sound gorgeous!)

Sorry Maybee & Lucca I confused the posts. We do sound a glamorous trio though grin

The last pair of shorts I wore were for hockey, when I was at college, aged 21. I never liked them and don't feel I have the legs; certainly not now.

grin at that photo of Boris Johnson! That is more about the whole outfit! I mean why that shirt with those shorts

He's probably wearing black socks with suspenders and lace-up black leather shoes.

Found the black socks

I live in shorts from April to October. Love having brown legs. Never short shorts. Wear what makes you happy.

Sorry didn’t answer the question. I wear shorts all day long but would put on a dress if I was going out to a restaurant or a show in the evening.
Probably wouldn’t wear shorts in a city that wasn’t touristy but then I can’t remember when I last visited a city.
