And I am 40. (So I am biased!)</p> <p>I think it really depends on how the whole ensemble looks. I would buy the shorts and try some stuff out with them, as you described, and see how you look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-shorts-too-short#post-1078439 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 01:27:36 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1078439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For out to dinner or to a bar, sure, especially with tights. For work, I'm not so sure, but I suppose it depends on your work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-shorts-too-short#post-1078403 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 00:56:25 +0000 minimalist 1078403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Depends on so many factors.</p> <p>Just passed another cyclist wearing a very short skirt, interesting boots, and thigh-high stockings with lace elastic at the top. Didn't seem to be having any mobility options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-shorts-too-short#post-1078377 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 00:21:06 +0000 gradfashionista 1078377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, could these work for a woman in her 30s, with black tights, and booties or flats? Or are they too short? Top would include covered arms.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://us.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?searchTerm=leather+shorts&amp;storeId=13052&amp;productId=11479502&amp;urlRequestType=Base&amp;categoryId=&amp;langId=-1&amp;productIdentifier=product&amp;catalogId=33060">http://us.topshop.com/webapp/w.....toreId=130</a></p> <p>I'm thinking of getting a pair of leather shorts as a substitute for a shorter skirt because you don't have to worry about coverage in the same way you do with a mini, which means for versatile options if you want to go bare-legged. These look really cool with the cutwork--envisioning a white blouse, black tights, black flats, and shorts. Maybe a long lack cardigan, too. My concern is whether they are objectively too short. I have fairly short legs, 5'6", 29" inseam. Also not sure about the quality, but in any event, they can still go into the&nbsp;fantasy wardrobe.</p>
