I do like the idea of them, but the rise is just a tad too low - I'm constantly feeling the need to pull them up. I will keep looking for ones with a higher rise.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---white-shorts#post-918809 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 18:11:46 +0000 Thistle 918809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like these on you!&nbsp; I vote keep. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---white-shorts#post-918808 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 18:10:23 +0000 Astrid 918808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Kelly! I need new underwear anyway, so it's no bother to throw some nude ones in. The white shorts do seem to be dressier.<br /><br />Thanks Liz! Yes, I do live in Berlin. We do have plenty of shopping, but for me it's almost too much. I have to say I'm easily overwhelmed and I don't really have anybody to go shopping with, so I'm mostly on my own. So even though we have a lot out there I sometimes prefer online shopping.<br /><br />Thanks Denise! My problem is that most pants don't come up high enough in the back and/or have a loose waist if they fit my behind. I really don't like pants shopping. But the fit on these here is relatively good!<br /><br />Thanks Glory. Yes, I think you're right and they're different enough. <br /><br />Thanks Diane.&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---white-shorts#post-918784 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 17:46:42 +0000 Anonymous 918784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Very nice Astrid! I would keep. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---white-shorts#post-918783 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 17:45:44 +0000 Glory 918783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They are completely different shorts imo. The blue ones are still in order. I would keep them - I am sure they will be a great spring and summer addition. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---white-shorts#post-918781 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 17:43:52 +0000 CocoLion 918781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The white ones look perfect to me! &nbsp;The blue pants still look wearable to me, although I understand how falling down pants are frustrating. &nbsp;EVEN when I wear a belt I have this problem of pants sliding down over time, I have written about this before I don't know if it's because of being an hourglass with a relatively small waist and fuller hips. &nbsp;I just live with it and hike up those pants. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---white-shorts#post-918765 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 17:37:25 +0000 Liz A. 918765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The light blue shorts still look totally wearable, but I don't see why you shouldn't have both white and blue, one fitted and one slouchy.&nbsp; Is it true that you live in Berlin?&nbsp; I would think you'd have plenty of options for shopping! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---white-shorts#post-918762 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 17:35:27 +0000 kellygirl 918762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the bright white paired with the blues in that top. So spring-y and pretty. Seems like the old pair would work as well but would&nbsp;just not look quite so crisp. I don't think show through is avoidable with white bottoms. Even my thick denim shorts require nude underwear. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---white-shorts#post-918755 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 17:28:02 +0000 Astrid 918755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Ingunn and Mona! I'm not sure if I should keep them though. I just went back and tried on my old lightblue denim shorts again. They're practically cut the same as the white ones, maybe I should better invest in shorts in another style? I can still wear the blue ones if I embrace the baginess of them. And that's practically what Angie suggested. I always felt like they didn't fit anymore, but I guess that's because I bought them when they were a snug fit and they're no longer that. They here are two sizes bigger than the white ones and they stretch a lot more in comparison to the pic below.<br /><br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---white-shorts#post-918746 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 17:17:42 +0000 Mona 918746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is a nice addition to your summer wardrobe. I hope they don't stretch a lot. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---white-shorts#post-918744 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 17:15:00 +0000 Ingunn 918744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They look good on you!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---white-shorts#post-918739 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 17:12:12 +0000 Astrid 918739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Glory, I'll do that. Although it might be not so good if they stretch too much, as low as they're sitting. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---white-shorts#post-918732 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 17:08:31 +0000 Glory 918732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These looks good. I would recommend wearing them around the house a bit to see if they stretch out and for comfort level. Sometimes they stretch quite a bit. That just might make them a perfect slouchy look for you https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---white-shorts#post-918730 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 17:06:37 +0000 Astrid 918730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Scarlet. I think you're right and a different style might be better stylewise. I've tried a slouchy fit (hems rolled and with belt) at a store recently, this one <a href="http://www.amazon.de/ESPRIT-Damen-Jeans-Normaler-R80198/dp/B00BJ02486/ref=sr_1_37?s=apparel&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1366995454&amp;sr=1-37" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://www.amazon.de/ESPRIT-Damen-Jeans-Normaler-R80198/dp/B00BJ02486/ref=sr_1_37?s=apparel&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;amp" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.de/ESPRIT-Da.....8&#038;amp</a>;</a>. The fit was good, but it was way too dark. I really want to go lighter for summer. I just had another look and found another pair of white Esprit shorts on Amazon, 100% cotton: <a href="http://www.amazon.de/ESPRIT-Jeanshose-Shorts-Bermuda-R21086/dp/B004RE94TS/ref=sr_1_20?s=apparel&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1366995454&amp;sr=1-20" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.de/ESPRIT-Je.....&#038;ie=U</a> They're from two years ago though. But maybe something like that might be better.<br /><br />ETA<br />Public transport IS impossible. I saw quite a few mums with stroller today who had to wait because they just couldn't squeeze in between the people on the train. And those elevators and escalators are always out of order when I'm lugging my big suitcase around to get to central station...<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---white-shorts#post-918688 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 16:35:24 +0000 Scarlet 918688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would have said to size up too, wear a belt, and cuff. But maybe that is just my taste? I think it would also be bohoier that way though, in light of your other thread. This way is very classic. Also, I have similar denim shorts from Esprit (but faded denim) that I wear belted, loose, and cuffed, so maybe I am just biased.</p> <p>I was out in public transport today too. Fortunately my husband was with me because as usual the elevator was broken on some leg of our trip. He can carry the stroller with the baby by himself, whereas I would be lost by myself, especially when trying to get somewhere on time. I don't know what the poor man in the wheelchair did. The elevators are always broken! and frequently the escalators too. Humph. Okay, back to the topic at hand... </p> <p>ETA: forgot to add that I always have to wear nude undies with my whites, so I wouldn't worry about that. I just ordered some white skinnies from Esprit, so you are giving me hope they may work out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---white-shorts#post-918593 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 14:31:25 +0000 Angie 918593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Then you are set. Keep these! <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---white-shorts#post-918591 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 14:29:15 +0000 Astrid 918591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Angie. I actually like the overall looser fit of the size up a bit better too, but the low rise coupled with the loose fit is a bad idea. I'm just feeling like they're going to fall down any moment in the bigger size! The smaller ones pass the sit down test, but they could be a bit higher for my peace of mind. That's the only real problem I see with these shorts.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---white-shorts#post-918587 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 14:22:53 +0000 Angie 918587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the shorts! But was going to suggest trying a size up too. (I seem to be sizing everyone up these days!!). Yet, you have the larger size and prefer these, so if you've done the sit down test - you are good to go :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---white-shorts#post-918549 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 13:44:55 +0000 Astrid 918549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The white shorts came and now I have to decide if I want to keep them or not. This is the smaller size of the two I ordered and it fits perfectly, although the rise could be a bit higher. They sit fairly low on my hips. The fabric is stretchy, there's a bit of spandex and polyester mixed into the cotton. I'm not sure if it's visible in the pics, but you can definitely see my undies. So I'd have to buy some nude panties if I keep them. I also tried them with the legs rolled up, but they end up being too short for me to feel comfortable in.<br /><br />Please excuse my exhausted looks, I just spent one hour standing packed in public transport...<br /><br />What do you think? Keep or return?<br />
