I'm not wearing any makeup in no 7 (or any of them) - perhaps if I were I'd feel better about it. I also may like it better if I semi-tucked - but despite the reminders above I tend to forget about that option!</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks Stag. I didn't read yours until after I went shopping. I did in fact come home with a white cotton top&nbsp; - and it is actually at the same cropped top length you liked in the pink tee outfit.&nbsp; I did see some linen out there but not silk. I do have dresses that have been very heavily worn for years that are made of cotton so I find it durable. Much better than viscose which I find wears very easily.</div><div><br /></div><div>I might hit the op (thrift) shops next. I need tops in colours other than white!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Angie</b> - thanks for the explanation<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lablonger-denim-shorts#post-2251973 Tue, 15 Feb 2022 15:18:10 +0000 Angie 2251973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Anne</b>, mine are longer! I leave them un-rolled to cover my knees. But rolled they are your length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lablonger-denim-shorts#post-2251945 Tue, 15 Feb 2022 07:59:31 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2251945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck shopping! Look for silk &amp; linen in your floaty new tops. They are much more durable than ultra-thin cotton. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lablonger-denim-shorts#post-2251943 Tue, 15 Feb 2022 06:31:00 +0000 Jenni NZ 2251943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a bit late but I like 2, 6 and 7 the best. I’m sorry that you don’t like 7! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lablonger-denim-shorts#post-2251939 Tue, 15 Feb 2022 04:42:33 +0000 anne 2251939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz! Great shopping inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lablonger-denim-shorts#post-2251937 Tue, 15 Feb 2022 04:17:35 +0000 Suz 2251937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear shorts like this quite often. I like to wear them with woven tops (examples in Finds) untucked or tucked. Sleeved versions with sleeves rolled up in heat.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also wear them with blouses left untucked (examples below). With blouses t's (Zara striped top) and with looser t's, sometimes semi-tucked.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lablonger-denim-shorts#post-2251936 Tue, 15 Feb 2022 03:49:34 +0000 anne 2251936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rachy - yeah - no -one likes 3 (including me!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lablonger-denim-shorts#post-2251935 Tue, 15 Feb 2022 03:29:00 +0000 rachylou 2251935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These shorts are sooo good on you! The only top I’m not keen on is #3… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lablonger-denim-shorts#post-2251934 Tue, 15 Feb 2022 03:23:37 +0000 anne 2251934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thank you all so much for responding.</div><div><br /></div><div>FWIW I liked the more fitted tops too. However I'll need to find non- fitted ones that work too, as sometimes it's just too hot for anything else..</div><div><br /></div><div>I noticed that number 7 was polarizing. I like it as a top, and I think it looks great tucked, but personally didn't like it with the shorts. I also felt like the whole outfit was too low contrast.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks <b>Robyn. </b>It is nice to have some built in detail on hot weather clothes isn't it, when layering isn't an option</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Angie</b>, thanks. I thought mine were shorter than yours, but looking at the pictures they are about the same length. Nice to have your approval (teenage daughters are not so keen!) I agree with your least favourite list.I'm trying to remember if you have a post on outfits with shorts this length. - I'll have a look after.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Helena</b> - yes flowy is often what I need, thanks for the half tuck suggestion.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks <b>Stag. </b>Interestingly I'm think the pink one is the one I'd be least likely to wear. Too much likelihood of showing skin. I think if I was going to do that I'd go for a higher rise bottom.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Zaeobi </b>- thanks for the breakdown of those details - very helpful. You have pinpointed the exact issue I worry about with the outfit - the vertical dimensions and how it cuts the torso. I agree with all your points (except that I might be too inhibited to wear number 5 - see above!)</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks <b>Kellygirl</b> and <b>Slim Cat.</b></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Lesley </b>I think you have really got into the nub - this outfit WOULD look better with woven tops. And I'm realising more and more that hot weather woven tops are a real wardrobe hole for me right now. In fact I'm planning to go to the shops today and see if I can rectify the situation!<br /></div><div><br /></div></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lablonger-denim-shorts#post-2251888 Mon, 14 Feb 2022 18:50:23 +0000 Lesley 2251888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2, 5, 6, and 7 are my favorites! Shorts are so hard and jean shorts might be the hardest. I don't like the really fitted tops because the bottoms are fitted (just a preference thing... plus thinking of how I like that breezy feeling in hot weather!).</p> <p>I have personally found that with jean shorts I prefer woven tops (crisp poplin or linen blends), since they skew a little more polished and I like their contrast to the more RATE denim bottoms. The exception is I like a tank that just skims the body, like #2.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lablonger-denim-shorts#post-2251876 Mon, 14 Feb 2022 16:59:37 +0000 kellygirl 2251876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1,5, and 6 look great to my eye! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lablonger-denim-shorts#post-2251871 Mon, 14 Feb 2022 16:15:16 +0000 slim cat 2251871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 and #6 - good length and perfect showcasing of your slim waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lablonger-denim-shorts#post-2251867 Mon, 14 Feb 2022 15:27:23 +0000 Zaeobi 2251867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the curved hem of #7, the waist definition of #6 &amp; the cropped length of #5. The fitted tee in #4 also works in the shoulders, but not sure if the hem is slightly too long? (I'm thinking of the knee-length shorts as cutting you into 'thirds'). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lablonger-denim-shorts#post-2251862 Mon, 14 Feb 2022 14:50:53 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2251862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are the shorter-but-not-really-cropped pink one and the polka dots. I’m not a fan of #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lablonger-denim-shorts#post-2251856 Mon, 14 Feb 2022 14:28:55 +0000 Helena 2251856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these! I have a slight preference for the more fitted ones, but in hot weather loose and flowy might be more comfortable ... I might try a semi tuck with the loose ones if that tweak floats your boat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lablonger-denim-shorts#post-2251855 Mon, 14 Feb 2022 14:28:00 +0000 Angie 2251855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE these shorts <b>Anne</b>, and wear them. I find them very flattering! I have two pairs. They are available in the Netherlands every season because people like to wear them.&nbsp;</p> <p>All the tops work. Personally, #3, #5 and #7 are my least favourite.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lablonger-denim-shorts#post-2251846 Mon, 14 Feb 2022 13:48:15 +0000 RobinF 2251846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! My favorites are 1 and 7. I like that they have a little more detail than the plainer ones.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lablonger-denim-shorts#post-2251835 Mon, 14 Feb 2022 13:12:57 +0000 anne 2251835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sisi and Star.&nbsp; I'm not going to say my own thoughts yet but I appreciate your feedback. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lablonger-denim-shorts#post-2251827 Mon, 14 Feb 2022 10:59:17 +0000 Star (Lise) 2251827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1, 4, 6 &amp; 7 are the most flattering to my eye. I like these shorts (I also call them bermudas). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lablonger-denim-shorts#post-2251826 Mon, 14 Feb 2022 10:50:21 +0000 Sisi 2251826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find&nbsp; the tops # 1 and # 6 the most flattering. Both have in common defined waist, defined shoulders and right length. I also like # 7. Also a fluid top would be nice, but then I would choose something more refined than # 2-5. You look good in these "long shorts"! (I call them bermudas).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lablonger-denim-shorts#post-2251825 Mon, 14 Feb 2022 10:22:29 +0000 anne 2251825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This Australian summer I bought a hewi: summer shorts. I wanted a longer style but they have been hard to find for years and I finally found these. I would have preferred waist high, but didn't find. Loose shorts are probably more flattering but bunch up annoyingly between my legs. So I am aware these may not be flattering, eg see Imogen's post on shorts and body shape <a rel="nofollow" href="https://insideoutstyleblog.com/2021/12/how-to-choose-the-best-shorts-for-your-body-shape-html.html">https://insideoutstyleblog.com.....-html.html</a></p> <p>Anyway, I would love to have your opinions on which tops work, particularly which styles, length and colours. (I am not attached to the tops or even that fond of most. 1-4 were hand me downs)<br /> Thanks! </p>
