This week’s poll is a particularly summery one. You are on Team Shorter Shorts if you prefer wearing shorts with a shorter hem. You are on Team Longer Shorts if you prefer wearing shorts with longer hems. Note that shorter shorts have hems that finish mid-thigh and shorter. Long shorts have hems that are just above, on, or below the knee.

Personally, I don’t wear shorts because I prefer wearing dresses, skirts, and cropped or long summery pants in the Summer. But if I did, I’d be on Team Longer Shorts. I LOVE the look of knee-covering shorts. Always have! There is something about the length that looks elegant, playfully polished, unexpected, and swish to my eye. I wore dressy and casual long shorts a lot in the ‘90s, and felt great in the vibe. The pleated styles were like short culottes and super cute. I also wore clamdiggers in the ‘00s, which I much enjoyed too.

Over to you. Do you bat for Team Shorter or Team Longer Shorts? Tell us why, and no batting for both teams. If you can’t pick a side, you’re on the bench with me. I’m serving salmon curry and rice, cucumber and red pepper salad, and lemon bundt cake with cream cheese icing, so feel free to sit this one out. I suspect Team Shorter Shorts will win this poll. Let’s find out.
