I also wonder about short-shorts on those of us 30-somethings and older. Is this more popular in warmer regions? In my area of the NW, most women over 30 wear walking shorts or clams instead of short-shorts. </p> <p>But there are still many capris too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-shortening-capris-at-their-best#post-81570 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 23:38:38 +0000 Angie 81570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In Seattle, everyone is on a leggings kick. It looks SO MUCH BETTER than those awful, awful capris. I think I've seen two people all season here. So fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-shortening-capris-at-their-best#post-81555 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 23:14:32 +0000 shiny 81555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, you would think! I don't know how they handle the legal complications (other than applying the black bar)</p> <p>Here in Boston I've been noticing less and less capris, and more and more clamdiggers. I guess people here got the memo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-shortening-capris-at-their-best#post-81514 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 21:08:21 +0000 Angie 81514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the light of today’s blog post, THESE NEED AN EXPIRATION DATE. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-shortening-capris-at-their-best#post-81512 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 21:07:38 +0000 Angie 81512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the light of today’s blog post, THESE NEED AN EXPIRATION DATE. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-shortening-capris-at-their-best#post-81471 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 19:15:24 +0000 merry77 81471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just returned from a farm show in Wisconsin. It was full of ill-fitting clothing and very little ppl! Sadly, I was one of the best dressed people there wearing my required logo'd apparel because my clothes actually fit. I go to lots of farm shows, and this was the worst yet as far as fashion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-shortening-capris-at-their-best#post-81468 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 19:02:38 +0000 Anonymous 81468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sadly these pictures could have been taken in 10 minutes or less this summer at any mall in the Midwest. Shiny, I also wondered about the ankle-length commentary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-shortening-capris-at-their-best#post-81467 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 18:54:07 +0000 marianna 81467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking about the legal aspect of this. I have no idea, but a gem I remember from one of my media law classes last semester is that if a photo is taken in a PUBLIC place (like Michigan Ave), there is nothing you can do. Public places are free game. If the photo is taken in a PRIVATE place (like your home) then there can be legal repercussions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-shortening-capris-at-their-best#post-81404 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 14:43:02 +0000 Angie 81404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is not what I saw in Chicago - but I guess I was in the stylish part! </p> <p>Dawn, the bike shorts are fine as leggings or for biking. Absolutely. They're tapered and skinny so they work a little better at that unflattering length. But only just! </p> <p>Shiny, can’t people sue? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-shortening-capris-at-their-best#post-81403 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 14:41:44 +0000 Laura 81403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now do you see what we deal with in Chicago?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-shortening-capris-at-their-best#post-81357 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 07:34:53 +0000 Louise 81357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-shortening-capris-at-their-best#post-81320 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 03:28:34 +0000 Chris 81320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Confirms the No Capri rule. They do look cute on the last little girl but over 10 - no. My neice is growing at a quite rapid rate so capris have been helpful to the budget (but she's 8 and not to be worried by looking like her legs are shorter). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-shortening-capris-at-their-best#post-81306 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 02:18:07 +0000 cciele 81306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I don't know whether to laugh or be horrified. Thanks for the link Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-shortening-capris-at-their-best#post-81281 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 23:17:03 +0000 shiny 81281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I disagreed with the commentary, which said ankle-length would be more flattering. I think ankle length is *just* as bad!</p> <p>MariannaCecile - check out Glamour.com's do's and don'ts... just like in the mag, but people snap pics and post it up for a vote... I am always paranoid anytime a stranger is near me snapping pics, and go run check it to make sure I'm not a don't!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-shortening-capris-at-their-best#post-81280 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 23:14:15 +0000 Dawn 81280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*ahem* I find those lycra bike shorts quite useful... they're gear so I don't think you can really throw them in with the other atrocities. I own bike shorts around the same length as my grey leggings as they're warm enough for spring and autumn without overheating in full-length lycra or freezing in shorts... but going shopping in them- that's a fashion crime! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-shortening-capris-at-their-best#post-81279 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 23:12:10 +0000 marianna 81279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder if these people knew their picture was being published. I'd be mortified and furious! (Guess I better be careful next time I'm on Michigan Ave!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-shortening-capris-at-their-best#post-81277 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 23:07:45 +0000 Maya 81277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this and was horrified. Most of them aren't just unflattering because of their length but because they are just ill-fitting, ugly colors, and sloppy.</p> <p>I have to admit when I was in France I found some of the man-capris kind of endearing. But not those bike shorts that the first guy is wearing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-shortening-capris-at-their-best#post-81276 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 23:05:11 +0000 Angie 81276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A reader posted this on the blog post today.
