I think of clamdiggers as slimmer and over the knee, it these look cool.

I love the slightly roomier fit--works so well when the weather gets hot to have a little breathing room :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdiggers#post-2194653 Wed, 12 May 2021 17:13:04 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2194653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clamdigger-lite! That's a good call, Angie. I was also thinking they were a little less tapered than the clamdiggers Angie showed. In any case, I really like them on you, and I like them with the top. Maybe you can find another pair to fit your new size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdiggers#post-2194646 Wed, 12 May 2021 16:58:41 +0000 rachylou 2194646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I maybe would have called them bermudas too, but they *are* verging on clam diggers. They’re cute tho, whatever they’re called! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdiggers#post-2194593 Wed, 12 May 2021 14:46:43 +0000 Star (Lise) 2194593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>FI and Alwaystrying</b>, I also believed clamdiggers to be quite a bit below the knee and slim fit.&nbsp; The name implies rolling up your long pants to dig for clams.&nbsp; I think the difference being (maybe) is that capris are not necessarily slim fit, where clam diggers are.&nbsp; Mine do have little slits on the side although not visible in the pic.&nbsp; I remember the name pedal pushers - I think from the 50's and they had a revival in the 80's.&nbsp; &nbsp;Angie confirmed mine are more bermudas which I thought, so all good.&nbsp; Some definitely are not that flattering when they end mid-calf, although if paired with a strappy espadrille with a slight wedge could make all the difference (for me).&nbsp; Thank you for chiming in.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdiggers#post-2194590 Wed, 12 May 2021 14:45:07 +0000 slim cat 2194590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great on you - lovely picture! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdiggers#post-2194587 Wed, 12 May 2021 14:38:06 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2194587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Always trying, the nomenclature I’m familiar with is close to what you mentioned—Bermudas are close to but above the knees, clamdiggers and pedalpushers for slightly below the knee, probably with skits on the sides. I have never heard “Bermudas” used for below the knee, but maybe it’s different outside the USA. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdiggers#post-2194585 Wed, 12 May 2021 14:34:30 +0000 always trying 2194585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I call above the knee bermudas, and below are called skimmers if they are just below the knee.&nbsp; There seem to be many names for all lengths longer than just below the knee to ankle--clamdiggers, the old name pedal pushers, various lengths of crops, some that roll up (these are hard to find these days) etc.&nbsp; Anyone remember that Clayton?? guy who told women all those pants ending on calves made us look awful Fat stumpy legs, old lady looks, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdiggers#post-2194577 Wed, 12 May 2021 14:21:29 +0000 Star (Lise) 2194577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie</b>, thank you!&nbsp; The low rise is the only thing I dislike about the bermudas.<br /><b>RobinF</b>, what a fab compliment!&nbsp; The top is even older than the bermudas, had even more wear and is still going strong.<br /><b>Mirjana</b>, thank you!&nbsp; That is the Balkan mountain range in the background, where it meets the sea.<br /><b>Brooklyn</b>, thank you!&nbsp; Yes, I only wear longer tops now to disguise the low-rise (which I hate), but love all the other aspects.&nbsp; I wear these a ton every summer, so comfy by the sea.<br />Thank you&nbsp;<b>Midwestchic</b>!<br /><b>Suntiger</b>, I thought you would like that top, your colours!&nbsp; I am not so into florals but this one works for me.&nbsp; A bit moody without being dark, if that makes sense...<br /><b>Sisi</b>, thank you!&nbsp; It is a beautiful place, with a fascinating history (back&nbsp; 3000 years).&nbsp; The top is very cool in summer, it has been a favourite for many years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdiggers#post-2194551 Wed, 12 May 2021 13:17:54 +0000 Angie 2194551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’d say more of a Bermuda, but clamdigger-lite! That’s how low rises used to be. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdiggers#post-2194547 Wed, 12 May 2021 13:14:13 +0000 RobinF 2194547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This could actually change my mind about that length. They look great and love the top with them. I would call them bermudas I guess but either one works.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdiggers#post-2194537 Wed, 12 May 2021 12:58:33 +0000 Mirjana 2194537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I agree we called them bermudas. I also have a two pairs , bought a couple years ago and wear them mostly in my weekend house. Beautiful picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdiggers#post-2194526 Wed, 12 May 2021 12:20:46 +0000 Brooklyn 2194526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say they are. And they look great on you! The rise might be a little low by modern standards - but you could disguise that with an untucked top if you wanted to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdiggers#post-2194523 Wed, 12 May 2021 11:59:58 +0000 MidwestrnChic 2194523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear these well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdiggers#post-2194520 Wed, 12 May 2021 11:54:41 +0000 Anonymous 2194520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to be there :)<br /> Love the top! I'd call them clamdiggers or long bermudas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdiggers#post-2194517 Wed, 12 May 2021 11:52:22 +0000 Sisi 2194517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a nice place! You look fab and happy. I like the colour and print of the top paired with the denim. I would also call these bermudas but according to&nbsp; Angie's post they are clamdiggers. :)&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdiggers#post-2194509 Wed, 12 May 2021 11:16:36 +0000 Star (Lise) 2194509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Fabbers</p> <p>Further to Angie's post today, are these clamdiggers?&nbsp; They are Benettons and were purchased around 2004.&nbsp; This pic is from 2012.&nbsp; I was on holiday, I now live here on the Black Sea.&nbsp; These have been worn ALOT although are now quite big as I am 7kgs lighter, I will still wear them with a belt.&nbsp; I thought they were bermudas, but not sure now. </p>
