I think that the cut on these is unflattering. Sorry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268948 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 05:21:07 +0000 Adelfa 1268948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them! You make me want to get some! I don't see any problems at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268542 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 22:02:08 +0000 Angie 1268542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the way you styled them in #1, Janet. With chic polish and some structure on your feet and on top - these are fun baggy shorts. And very breezy on hot and humid days. I vote yay.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268496 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 21:04:27 +0000 catgirl 1268496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a huge love for this look. And you can pull off fitted tops which is how I would wear them if I could. Love shorts like this - they are a sugar eye for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268489 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 21:01:10 +0000 rae 1268489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hi5 Marley! I think they look really nice and edgy. I guess I may be biased, though, because I have some basketball shorts too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268416 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:53:06 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1268416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a real poison eye for these as they so remind me of shorst I wore in the 90's that make me cringe every time I see photos... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268414 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:51:22 +0000 Diana 1268414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote Nay.&nbsp; They look poofy rather than drapey.&nbsp; And i want them to be shorter, but that's probably just my bermuda shorts poison eye coming out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268410 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:48:30 +0000 Marley 1268410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them! To me, they look exactly like they're supposed to look. Big, baggy, poofy. And the print is so fun! I vote keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268336 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:18:10 +0000 Janet 1268336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carter, they're quite comfy, but I don't really need loungewear. If these don't pass muster for casual wear (which they don't), they're going back. That's OK, on to the next thing!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268317 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:07:38 +0000 Anonymous 1268317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nope, not loving them. Too poofy. On to something better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268308 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 17:44:26 +0000 Gracie 1268308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not fab enough for you. Basketball shorts would not have pockets, and the drawstring, if any, would be inside the waistband. These look much like jp shorts. Next! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268303 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 17:35:51 +0000 carter 1268303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I totally get the appeal of something loose and flowy for the Summer, but these really don't do you any favors. Comfy enough to work for lounge wear? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268275 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:55:43 +0000 Peri 1268275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Going to have to join the no votes, sorry! Not nearly good enough for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268272 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:53:49 +0000 kkards 1268272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>well, i'm going to be the outlier. i think this fit exactly like a basketball short should. loose, baggy and kind of like a girl wearing boys shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268263 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:43:48 +0000 Mo 1268263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A little full for my taste. &nbsp;Not quite enough drape. &nbsp;Makes me think of PJ's if I'm going to be very honest. &nbsp;I would keep looking, because I think a drapey short would be great for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268262 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:41:58 +0000 Isis 1268262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad.&nbsp; Thanks for trying them; I was considering the basketball shorts but if they don't work for you, they won't work for me.&nbsp; They look nice and drapey in the runway view!&nbsp; But perhaps that's because the model is more straight-and-down in her body.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268258 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:37:59 +0000 Janet 1268258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isis, I think the side pouf is from the pockets. A typical issue for me, which is a bummer because I like having pockets. </p> <p>I don't think sizing down would work either. I think they're just not quite right for me. </p> <p>Oh, the other shorts I ordered from Asos were downright laughable. I sized up, thinking they would drape, but they are truly a brocade type fabric and have no drape at all. It looks like I'm wearing a chair cushion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268256 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:34:16 +0000 Suz 1268256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. Are they pricey? If not, a slight alteration might do the trick and make them perfect. I absolutely see the appeal.&nbsp;</p> <p>Another thought: Keep them on for a while, see if the fabric "settles" a bit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268255 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:31:35 +0000 Janet 1268255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rabbit, yes. Part of why I tend to favor plain dark bottoms. Which are boring after a while. I hate feeling restricted from fun colors and patterns on my bottom half, and sometimes I just want something easy but fun to pair with plain tees. Ah well, as Angie says, Next! I guess it's back to boring bottoms for me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268253 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:30:32 +0000 Isis 1268253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it all depends on how they are IRL. </p> <p>I love them halftucked like in 2,4, and 5.</p> <p>But in 1, it looks like the fabric is pooching out at the sides----are they too stiff a fabric?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268249 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:29:05 +0000 Neel 1268249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not loving it Janet .... Unlike your zara shorts which are absolutely killer :)</p> <p>These got a bit of PJ vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268248 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:28:35 +0000 gardenchick 1268248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that they're too voluminous, I'd pass on them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268246 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:25:57 +0000 rabbit 1268246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think part of it is the light color and pattern which to my eye helps increase the visual effect of volume, especially with a darker&nbsp;top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268245 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:23:53 +0000 Janet 1268245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Karie and Elizabeth! So far, you both are seeing what I'm seeing. In the mirror, it doesn't seem so bad, but pictures seem to emphasize the voluminous nature of them. They drape, but perhaps not enough. I wanted to see if this was just in my head, since I already feel like I have more than enough volume on that part of my body. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268242 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:19:24 +0000 Karie 1268242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I don't like being one of&nbsp;the first commenters on things like this! I do think they look a little big, but my disclaimer is that I have a bit of a poison eye for this type of shorts, so take it with an extra fine grain of salt :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268241 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:18:52 +0000 Elizabeth P 1268241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, my reply disappeared.</p> <p>Sorry Janet, but I have to vote nay on these ones.&nbsp; They look great from the side, but from the front there is just... well... a lot of them.&nbsp; And the legs seem to poof rather than drape.&nbsp; I think you can do better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asos-basketball-shorts-yn#post-1268237 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:12:53 +0000 Janet 1268237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will reserve comment for now, since I want unvarnished opinions. I will say that these are already pulled down below my natural waist -- before I took the last photo, I noted that the waistband is sitting a good four inches below my belly button/waist. I'll also say that they're comfortable, and that this is pretty typical of how I envisioned styling them. Casual for hot weather. I included a shot with top fully tucked even though I don't think that works. </p> <p>Would love to hear what you all think. </p>
