To wear shorts out and about or just at home?

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.

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

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

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.

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

Sorry the Boris photo was just soooo funny.

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!)

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.

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.

If it’s hot I’ll wear shorts. My legs aren’t too bad and I don’t suffer from varicose veins. I will be definitely wearing shorts tomorrow as I am seeing my physio.

Life is too short to have sweaty legs in the summer. Plus, all that moisture is not good for yeast infections. Fresh air for all bums

I think people should wear what they want, I don’t personally like shorts but each to their own,

I've never worn shorts in my life! I prefer trousers or long dresses. I think people should wear whatever they're comfortable in.

Wear shorts if you want to. I wear shorts, I wouldn't necessarily say they are short shorts. The ones I am wearing today are a bit like a skirt and come just above the knee.

Have you ever looked at ANYONE and thought they shouldn't be wearing shorts?

Yes Jane, many times.??

Agreed. I dislike shorts on older women, although I believe people should wear what they like, really. My brother, now in his eighties, tends to wear shorts all the time. He does have very good legs. Once when he was commuting into London in his working days a fellow passenger asked him what his boss thought of his dressing like that, to which he replied succinctly, “I am the boss.” (He was a university professor.)

I have long slim legs, possibly a bit too slim for shorts. I wouldn’t wear them anyway. I’ve disliked shorts ever since I was made to wear them for school games. Perhaps that association is why I dislike them.

you are very naughty but sounds plausible

I've no problem in wearing shorts but I seldom find it warm enough. I'm a right coldie.

In reall hot weather I wear shorts. I was blessed with long slim legs and still have them, even if my body is shrunken and squat. so wear them fairly short but they are navy ones, and tailored, not light cotton ones. I am 77. DD, my sternest critic, says I look fine in them.

I now have the song ‘ who wears short shorts? We wear short shorts.....’ in my head.Grrrr.

I don’t wear shorts, don’t have the legs for them, sort and dumpy that’s me ?. I think if you have the legs wear them, we went out in the week and there was lots of flesh on show, some young some not so young. I think my hubby summed it up when he said, if you have it flaunt it, if you haven’t cover it ??. I doesn’t have the legs either, it’s not just women who should question shorts in my opinion

I have loose light cotton shorts , they are pj bottoms and I only wear them now that I live on my own an def only in the bedroom !

I am chubby, but have good lower legs, and good ankles and feet, toned and slim- so I like to wear Bermuda shorts, just over knee, or just below, in the garden or on holiday, but not in town.
