I did this last year with a pair of black linen cropped trousers I bought on eBay. They looked terrible worn as they were intended, but after hacking a few inches off and re-hemming them they became my favorites. And saying "favorite shorts" is a rather peculiar thing for me, because I hate wearing shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-bermuda-shortsmaybe-this-was-a-bad-idea#post-1281334 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 17:29:30 +0000 Ledonna N. 1281334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see that big dog and you still look lovely way to save the coins by reinventing and I still stand by that I like the other pair as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-bermuda-shortsmaybe-this-was-a-bad-idea#post-1281167 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 14:34:55 +0000 Angie 1281167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the denim shorts. Nice fit. You can also size up on that style. As long as you wear a belt, you're sorted.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-bermuda-shortsmaybe-this-was-a-bad-idea#post-1281153 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 14:26:47 +0000 ameelizabeth 1281153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just went out for a walk to get breakfast and hit the farmer's market (strawberry season, yessss!). They loosened up a little and feel great now! Here's the outfit:<br /> Ps: somehow my 180lb dog who is standing directly behind me is pretty much completely hidden </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-bermuda-shortsmaybe-this-was-a-bad-idea#post-1281107 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 13:41:00 +0000 jackiec 1281107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea! Like the fitted ones a bit better but they both work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-bermuda-shortsmaybe-this-was-a-bad-idea#post-1281101 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 13:33:27 +0000 viva 1281101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fitted ones too. I think you can either go baggy, or go fitted. Both are "looks." Wear the fitted ones with a looser top, and they'll work.</p> <p>But are the fitted ones so fitted they are uncomfortable? That may not be good. Maybe you just need to get used to them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-bermuda-shortsmaybe-this-was-a-bad-idea#post-1281076 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 13:03:36 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1281076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the fitted ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-bermuda-shortsmaybe-this-was-a-bad-idea#post-1281031 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 11:57:10 +0000 ameelizabeth 1281031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rute, I was wondering that, but thought the fitted longer shorts were also a look of their own? Maybe these are too fitted, though...</p> <p>I took a (hopefully) better picture with the other pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-bermuda-shortsmaybe-this-was-a-bad-idea#post-1281024 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 11:45:39 +0000 rute 1281024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My problem with 2 is that they seem too tight for shorts, they should be a bit more loose.<br />1 is hard to see on the picture..&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-bermuda-shortsmaybe-this-was-a-bad-idea#post-1281017 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 11:39:51 +0000 ameelizabeth 1281017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, thanks guys! I was worried the jeans ones were too tight... My legs felt a little sausagey at the cuff area. But after wearing them around the house they stretched out a little. I'm excited to wear them! </p> <p>I always scoffed at these length shorts, thinking they could never flatter a pear shape, (even though they are the length routinely suggested for pear shape). But like with skinny jeans and boyfriend jeans, I figured I should give it a shot. Glad I did! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-bermuda-shortsmaybe-this-was-a-bad-idea#post-1280913 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 04:57:22 +0000 Anonymous 1280913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look just fine. I'm planning to do the same thing if i need more shorts for the summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-bermuda-shortsmaybe-this-was-a-bad-idea#post-1280905 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 04:52:23 +0000 Neel 1280905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both .. Not a bad idea at all! Why spend money on something that you can make out of your old jeans? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-bermuda-shortsmaybe-this-was-a-bad-idea#post-1280876 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 04:11:29 +0000 MrsK 1280876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree, great idea and they look good. I think #2 could go a touch shorter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-bermuda-shortsmaybe-this-was-a-bad-idea#post-1280818 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 03:12:12 +0000 Ledonna N. 1280818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, I think it was a great idea. Angie had a post on this not to long ago. I really like the length on pic one I think it is very flattering on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-bermuda-shortsmaybe-this-was-a-bad-idea#post-1280817 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 03:11:54 +0000 Marmee 1280817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm having a hard time seeing #1 clear on my monitor, but they look pretty good to me. &nbsp;#2 look like traditional skinny jean bermudas. &nbsp;I think the length on both looks fine, but I'm no expert. &nbsp;Good for you for trying this!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-bermuda-shortsmaybe-this-was-a-bad-idea#post-1280708 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 01:42:53 +0000 ameelizabeth 1280708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Being on a tight budget (more so than usual thanks to recent major dental work), and having just invested in a pair of BF jeans and a nice pair of nude pointy-toes flats, I've got to put a hold on the spending for a bit. I wanted to try the whole bermuda shorts thing, but couldn't justify buying more clothes at the moment. Sooooo, I took some scissors to some work jeans and an old pair of capris. I would like to eventually buy some "store bought shorts," but thought I could try the trend free of charge first. My question is...do they look ridiculous? Too long, too short? They're just haphazardly rolled at the moment. I'm sure I could find a better looking pair in a store, but would these work to get me through the summer? </p>
