Seems to me to depend on the number of shorts you own and how often you wear them. If it's just one great pair that'll get a whole lot of wear (like 2-3 times a week for 2-3 months), I *might* consider it --- though honestly it *is* a bit rich for my blood (but I'm also trying *not* to see that tag in terms of INR!) and I'd probably wait it out, if I were in your oxfords. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-is-too-much-to-pay-for-a-pair-of-shorts#post-579533 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 16:04:44 +0000 Heather 579533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kirti, while I agree that is a lot of coin to spend on one pair of shorts, if they DO fit you brilliantly, you will wear them all spring/summer and you love them then I say buy them now. If you wait for the French soldes (July, right?), you risk your small size being sold out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-is-too-much-to-pay-for-a-pair-of-shorts#post-579510 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 15:32:22 +0000 Irene 579510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd wait. They are cute, but I'm sure you can find something similar for a lower price </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-is-too-much-to-pay-for-a-pair-of-shorts#post-579507 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 15:29:39 +0000 Anonymous 579507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This seems like a lot for a pair of shorts for someone living in France and not in the desert, but they do fulfill some of your style resolutions if they are top quality. They are also red. If you feel fabulous in them, can wear them enough to get a reasonable cost per wear and think you may spend the rest of the season looking for something to equal them if your size sells out, get them.<br /> You might wait until your 15 day challenge is over and hope they are reduced a bit by then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-is-too-much-to-pay-for-a-pair-of-shorts#post-579500 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 15:25:52 +0000 Kirti 579500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>texstyle: Yep, there's one pleat. But I don't mind it! But you're right - I'm sure there will be a lot of shorts options as the weather heats up.</p> <p>Tanya: I'm in France and it is still pretty chilly here. I'd have to wait a few weeks to wear them atleast. </p> <p>Astrid: I haven't had a problem with shorts at all, so I guess I should just wait it out for a better pair. I haven't bought from Esprit during the sales yet, but I'll keep an eye out for these just in case </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-is-too-much-to-pay-for-a-pair-of-shorts#post-579496 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 15:23:22 +0000 Anonymous 579496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me it depends on your budget and how much you will wear them. My shorts were expensive given my budget, but I only have about 2 pairs which get lots of wear in the summer. So when I consider the cost per wear, it seems like a good value. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-is-too-much-to-pay-for-a-pair-of-shorts#post-579486 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 15:16:31 +0000 Astrid 579486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It would be too much for me. I think the most I would pay for cotton shorts (if I found the perfect pair) would be 50€. Have you a hard time finding shorts that fit? If yes and these fit perfectly I would think about it. I'm not sure waiting for the sales will work - they don't mark down everything (at least here) and if you have a common size there might not be any left even if they do. Were you successful with sales at Esprit in the past? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-is-too-much-to-pay-for-a-pair-of-shorts#post-579483 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 15:13:22 +0000 Tanya 579483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot where you live and what the climate is like there? If it is still too cold for them, than waiting for the sale would definitely be a great idea. I am a big fan of sales, but my size also tends to sell out first so if it is something I really want I have learned the hard way to get it immediately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-is-too-much-to-pay-for-a-pair-of-shorts#post-579476 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 15:07:06 +0000 texstyle 579476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seems high $$ to me. How much will you wear them? And are those pleated in front? I'm not a fan of pleats on shorts or pants in general but maybe others would care to chime in on that topic. Seems like there will be a lot of choices in bright colored shorts this season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-is-too-much-to-pay-for-a-pair-of-shorts#post-579438 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 14:47:52 +0000 Kirti 579438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks tanya! I'm also thinking that waiting for the sales might be a good idea? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-is-too-much-to-pay-for-a-pair-of-shorts#post-579426 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 14:44:59 +0000 Tanya 579426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While that is a bit much for shorts, if you think you would wear them fairly often, than I would go for it. They are very pretty, btw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-is-too-much-to-pay-for-a-pair-of-shorts#post-579419 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 14:43:17 +0000 Kirti 579419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried on this pair of cotton shorts in Esprit today and I really liked both the colour and fit. I was all set to get them, when I saw the price tag of €70. Is it just me or is that really too much for a pair of shorts? They are really great shorts though </p>
