I'm going out of my comfort zone in shorts of any kind (which is pathetic, I know!), but I thought I would try it out. I was wondering what the difference is between clams & walking shorts, especially since I've seen people talking about above-the-knee clams. I read Angie's post about clams, but I couldn't find one about walking shorts. I'm going to place an order with Boden & Ann Taylor Loft in the near future and thought I would try out some sort of shorts at that point.

Also, what does one wear with these? My eye is still getting used to knee length skinny shorts - if anyone has pictures of themselves in successful shorts outfits, I'd love to see them. It might help be get a feel for what to look for, especially since I'm on the shorter side. Thanks!
