I agree with you on everything regarding this not-so-easy piece to wear. Shorts can be more than tricky, and like you, I don’t really find them fresh and cool or comfy for the summer. That being said, if you find the right pair, they can be darn cute! NOT for events at all- I agree, am so old school too when it comes to that! Have a great weekend xx

I live in Southern California so shorts have always been a big part of my summer wardrobe. But, as you say, I am not so comfortable wearing the shorter ones “out” except to the beach! As my legs have aged, like all the rest, I’ve decided that I WILL continue to wear shorts, unsightly legs be damned! Lol! Thanks for the good tips.

Great post with exactly the short styles that I would choose if I could find them I’m sure with your tips.

Hi NIna!
I love the tips! I do check the back and want to make sure it looks good too. I mostly will wear jean shorts in the summer, I like a 4 inch inseam. I usually with dress it up with a nice blouse or cami and jacket. Its too hot for that now, so a linen top with some white jean shorts are a nice change. I think all the looks you shared are great on you, I am particually fond of the tan blazer and white shorts look. 🙂
