I am much stricter at work but I also need things for super casual summer days at home.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1217357 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 17:25:09 +0000 rabbit 1217357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like cut off looser distressed shorts, but for me these seem to be sending their volume sideways rather than downward as a softer fabric would do. &nbsp;</p> <p>I think if the leg opening was a bit narrower, even with the volume above it, that would help. &nbsp;For example, in RL if the roll wasn't sewn in place it&nbsp;wouldn't stay there, because it's not tight against your thigh, it would unravel, kind of like Janet's example. &nbsp;That looks more 'natural' to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1217315 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 16:48:19 +0000 Janet 1217315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, here are my shorts that are a similar length, although they're cutoffs unrolled (I think Lucky Brand meant for them to be rolled to short-short length, but not on me, thanks). I also have some BF type shorts that are old cutoff bootcuts that were too big after I lost weight -- I cut them off and roll them to just-below-the-knee/clamdigger length, which is the other length that seems to work pretty well for me. </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extremely-casual-wiw" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....casual-wiw</a></p> <p>It's a really casual look, to rachy's point, but we need something for really casual summer days, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1217254 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 15:57:14 +0000 rachylou 1217254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look fine, but I do think you look like a 15-year-old at summer camp. Yes. Call me a BF hater. I suck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1217179 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 14:51:13 +0000 Janet 1217179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them. I hear you on the length, but I like that these are not short-shorts and they're not bermudas. Shorts lengths are soooo tricky! This is actually one of the lengths I can wear too -- a little longer than mid-thigh (probably something like a 8" inseam). Funny because we're proportioned so differently! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1217141 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 13:48:32 +0000 modgrl 1217141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am leaning towards keeping them and your comments have definitely helped in the decision process. I like that these shorts are soft and worn. I was a little bit worried at first that they wouldn't have alot of longevity because they are already so worn out, but I think as they wear, I can put other denim patches on them and that will just add to their character over time.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1216052 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 06:00:41 +0000 Deborah 1216052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think they look bad.&nbsp; I simply prefer a slightly longer short but that is my personal taste. You have nice slim legs and the proportions do look good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1215934 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 01:27:06 +0000 Glory 1215934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these for you - a fun and casual look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1215805 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 22:49:54 +0000 sarah 1215805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'd definitely wear these. In fact, I have a similar pair that I wear a LOT in the summer, on the weekends. They are<a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/kut-from-the-kloth-catherine-denim-boyfriend-shorts/3272871"> Kut Diana's.</a>&nbsp;The only difference I see from yours is that they are just a tad narrower in the leg, which I think I prefer, given that I'm not a 5'8" Rag and Bone model ; )&nbsp;(FYI, mine are sized up just a bit from the way the model is wearing them). But I do like the ones you are modeling.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1215702 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 19:39:59 +0000 MsMary 1215702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these!&nbsp; I like the look of your slim legs emerging from the wide legs of the shorts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1215641 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 18:01:47 +0000 Diana 1215641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this length. You all know I have poison eye for Bermudas so this is the length I like my shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1215635 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 17:55:09 +0000 catgirl 1215635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a general yay on BF shorts and wear them all the time in summer.&nbsp; Not sure these are the right pair - maybe an uncuffed frayed hem in a longer length? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1215624 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 17:26:48 +0000 Kristin L 1215624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the length work well for you. That's around the length I like my shorts.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you like everything else about them, re-hemming this wouldn't be too hard or expensive.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1215525 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 14:23:40 +0000 ironkurtin 1215525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's super cute. It's a very young look, but that can be a good thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1215494 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 13:49:32 +0000 dustt 1215494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally wear this length a lot - but I am 5'9" - I think it could work for you with another shoe choice - the cons are too closed in - perhaps with a very open sandal - and perhaps one additional roll </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1215191 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 23:50:31 +0000 Beth Ann 1215191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this length on your legs -- good for overall proportions, if that makes sense.&nbsp; Usually, I like this length and width best in a lighter weight, like a linen, so there's real draping going on.&nbsp; That said, these aren't inappropriately short at all and I love the fluid fit.</p> <p>BTW -- I have two pairs of BF shorts and I love 'em.&nbsp; Mine are adjustable, and I move the rolls to suit the overall proportions of the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1215187 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 23:48:24 +0000 Marmee 1215187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them, and think they are a good choice if you're looking for something shorter than you currently have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1215184 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 23:40:26 +0000 kellygirl 1215184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them. Like you said, you already have clams and slim shorts. This is a different silhouette and great for casual days. I think they are a fun option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1215180 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 23:31:36 +0000 modgrl 1215180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, if I have to get out the seam ripper they are going back</p> <p>Deb, I like the baggy look, I was hoping for that. I already have lots of slim shorts and clams. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1215179 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 23:29:28 +0000 Mo 1215179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, then you really have to decide if this is your ideal length. &nbsp;Or . . . get out the seam ripper LOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1215178 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 23:28:40 +0000 deb 1215178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the legs are too wide for the length. Try pinning them in to se if that is the issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1215177 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 23:25:35 +0000 Raisin 1215177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the length is good myself. &nbsp;I do like the fit too. &nbsp;Looking for a pair myself. &nbsp;I find the ones in store to be tight, not very BF fit. These look good. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1215175 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 23:21:06 +0000 modgrl 1215175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Mo, The roll is sewn in place. The length is not adjustable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1215174 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 23:13:39 +0000 Mo 1215174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure. &nbsp;Do you have other shorts for comparison? &nbsp;Mine are about this long, but mine hit a bit higher above the knee (because I'm taller obviously) &nbsp; I do kind of feel like they are right in between at this length. &nbsp;Can you roll one more, or one less? &nbsp;Or is the roll sewed into place? &nbsp;(I cut my BF shorts and made them shorter for me, as they hit at a place very close to this near my n knees and I found a bit shorter worked for me) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1215172 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 23:12:04 +0000 cinnamon fern 1215172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think they're too short, but I do think they're an awkward length - either a couple inches longer or a couple inches shorter would be better.</p> <p>I think this length is tough for us short people. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-shorts-yn#post-1215159 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 22:57:30 +0000 modgrl 1215159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know these are not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but I'm really wondering if I can pull them off... They feel borderline too short for me.... Too long for the style but too short for me... I definitely do not look like the 5' 11" rag and bone model in them.</p> <p>Yay/ they are ok length<br /> Nay/ weird awkward length </p>
