Sorry I can't offer a better solution. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-denim-tapered-bermuda-shorts--which-wash#post-653296 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 15:39:36 +0000 Parsley 653296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both of these. The thing is, what tops are you planning to wear with them? For me, I would probably wear only longer tops, so the whiskering would be a non-issue. </p> <p>I agree, though, that you can probably get the same idea for less money. This is not an item that I would pay premium price for, IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-denim-tapered-bermuda-shorts--which-wash#post-653248 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 14:10:38 +0000 Tanya 653248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalie, BR has these ones which are in between in price and quality. The only thing is that they are a a bit shorter, but they would probably be longer on you than on he model:</p> <p><a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=65552&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=905268" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....pid=905268</a></p> <p>Maybe worth of trying?</p> <p>Oh, found more in I think the right length at AE:</p> <p><a href="http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?productId=6332_3109_439&#038;catId=cat380159&#038;bundleCatId=cat5600005" rel="nofollow">http://www.ae.com/web/browse/p.....cat5600005</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?productId=6332_3742_914&#038;catId=cat380159&#038;bundleCatId=cat5600005" rel="nofollow">http://www.ae.com/web/browse/p.....cat5600005</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?productId=6332_3067_142&#038;catId=cat380159" rel="nofollow">http://www.ae.com/web/browse/p.....=cat380159</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-denim-tapered-bermuda-shorts--which-wash#post-653172 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 08:28:21 +0000 Kiwichik 653172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dark wash </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-denim-tapered-bermuda-shorts--which-wash#post-653171 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 08:24:56 +0000 goldenpig 653171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! I like the fit of the lighter wash better but the appearance of the darker wash. Plus, the dreaded cameltoe assessment from Rae has me worried. These are pretty expensive for shorts since they're premium, so if they're not perfect, I think I will keep looking. I think there's got to be a good middle ground between cheap feeling Old Navy and pricey premium J Brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-denim-tapered-bermuda-shorts--which-wash#post-653149 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 07:00:32 +0000 jayne 653149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dark wash! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-denim-tapered-bermuda-shorts--which-wash#post-653104 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 04:11:18 +0000 Anonymous 653104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the darker wash because of the whiskering pattern on the lighter ones. I see what Rae sees in the photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-denim-tapered-bermuda-shorts--which-wash#post-653073 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 03:08:53 +0000 Anonymous 653073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great; I slightly prefer the darker wash. Too bad you don't have some skinnies with a hole in the knee. These would be so easy to DIY. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-denim-tapered-bermuda-shorts--which-wash#post-653032 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 01:44:16 +0000 Transcona Shannon 653032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like both washes so I would choose what works best with your tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-denim-tapered-bermuda-shorts--which-wash#post-652964 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 23:14:02 +0000 Meredith1953 652964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the dark wash. The length is great on both of them for your shapely legs but the dark wash just seem to skim over the body in a better way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-denim-tapered-bermuda-shorts--which-wash#post-652925 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 22:04:17 +0000 Jenava 652925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both...I can't see a huge difference between the two. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-denim-tapered-bermuda-shorts--which-wash#post-652691 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 14:55:36 +0000 Tanya 652691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fit of them both, denim tends to stretch out a little with wear. I prefer the darker wash on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-denim-tapered-bermuda-shorts--which-wash#post-652685 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 14:39:51 +0000 rae 652685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I usually love whiskering, but on my monitor the lighter wash whiskers give almost a camel toe illusion. The darker pair looks way better to me. I still like a lightwash pair for you eventually; light denim really helps dress down an outfit, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-denim-tapered-bermuda-shorts--which-wash#post-652682 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 14:31:00 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 652682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on team rear view and the first pair is very flattering in that regard (and from the front too!). Glad to see that Angie approves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-denim-tapered-bermuda-shorts--which-wash#post-652664 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 13:59:20 +0000 Angie 652664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They both look great to me and will stretch out a little during the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-denim-tapered-bermuda-shorts--which-wash#post-652649 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 13:03:29 +0000 texstyle 652649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just don't like the silhouette of either of these where they are so fitted in the thigh. Not up to your usual style. I'd keep looking for something more flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-denim-tapered-bermuda-shorts--which-wash#post-652646 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 12:56:16 +0000 Astrid 652646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look a tad too tight to me too. Have you tried one size up? I think the darker wash is dressier, but I think that I second Marie in this, I like the lighter wash better for MOTG shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-denim-tapered-bermuda-shorts--which-wash#post-652645 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 12:49:12 +0000 Marie 652645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the lighter wash for shorts (looks more relaxed for MOTG) but they appear from your pics to be a wee to tight for tucking if you plan to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-denim-tapered-bermuda-shorts--which-wash#post-652597 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 11:10:56 +0000 Deborah 652597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am unsure of the fit of both of these. I probably prefer the darker wash but can't say I think either of these are good enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-denim-tapered-bermuda-shorts--which-wash#post-652593 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 10:58:09 +0000 Irene 652593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair like those and never wear it because they feel too tight and I hate going tight in he summer -which is why I stick to dresses. They do look a tad tight on you, but I think that's how they are supposed to be. How do they feel? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-denim-tapered-bermuda-shorts--which-wash#post-652591 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 10:25:56 +0000 Jjsloane 652591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the darker wash (especially for your more polished style) but they are a bit snug looking in the front. If they do stretch and you don't plan to tuck much I think they're fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-denim-tapered-bermuda-shorts--which-wash#post-652588 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 10:07:54 +0000 Lyn D. 652588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the darker wash but they look quite firm in the fit? If they give a little as denim is wont to do I would say consider keeping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-denim-tapered-bermuda-shorts--which-wash#post-652582 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 08:38:56 +0000 goldenpig 652582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ever since Angie's tapered denim bermuda shorts post (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/06/04/bermuda-ensembles-for-the-casual-gal-on-the-go/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2012/06/.....on-the-go/</a>), I've been thinking that I need a pair of casual denim shorts--I don't have any denim shorts because my old ones were maternity. I tried the cheap Old Navy ones, but they were too baggy and cheap feeling. So I ordered two pairs of J brand bermuda shorts. Which wash do you think looks better? They are both size 28 but fit slightly differently. They're both comfortable. I like the fit on the faded pair because they are more fitted around the knee, but am wondering if the prominent whiskering is too much on the front. The darker pair looks a little more polished, but the legs are a bit more baggy around the knee.<br /> Which one would you keep? Or should I return both and keep looking?</p> <p>1-5. The faded blue one in Lilly wash:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/j-brand-cuffed-stretch-denim-shorts/3170818?origin=keywordsearch&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=517" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/j-.....ltback=517</a></p> <p>6-10. The second darker one in Saturn wash:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/j-brand-cuffed-stretch-denim-shorts/3302447?origin=keywordsearch&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=517" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/j-.....ltback=517</a> </p>
