They are very light weight, but run VERY small, so you'll want to try them in the store. They come in all sorts of very fun colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-denim-shorts-help#post-638812 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 04:48:48 +0000 rae 638812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My lightest shorts are from Old Navy also. I don't think they're available anymore, but it may be a good place to take a look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-denim-shorts-help#post-638807 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 04:43:01 +0000 Anonymous 638807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With apologies to whoever suggested it on another thread recently because I can't remember, I found that their recommendation of Merona clam length cropped pants at Target was right on. There were 3 shades of light weight blue denim plus colors at the Target I went to. I got a bright coral that are just right when rolled a couple of times and they are on sale for $15 (or maybe it was $17) this week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-denim-shorts-help#post-638796 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 04:10:53 +0000 Scarlet 638796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought some from Esprit last year that are pretty light. I can't remember if they are still selling in the U.S. but their denim is pretty reasonable for the price point. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-denim-shorts-help#post-638667 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 00:57:10 +0000 JennyAnne 638667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sure there are. I remember seeing some kind of chambray ones (Banana Republic, I think) quite recently and almost buying therm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-denim-shorts-help#post-638649 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 00:12:26 +0000 Aida 638649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My denim shorts are from Old Navy (though they are shorter than what you are looking for). If you're willing to cut up a pair of longer jeans, going to a thrift or consignment store could be another good option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-denim-shorts-help#post-638646 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 00:07:34 +0000 Suz 638646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought some Gap Always Skinnies in the fall (as you may recall). And then I fell and ripped the knee! No loss. They are at the seamstress now, becoming bermudas. I think the weight will be "okay" although I would not wear them on the hottest of hot days - then I would prefer a dress or skirt. </p> <p>I also have a pair of denim legging jean cutoffs from the Gap last year. I like them a lot; they are lightweight, tapered and super stretchy. These I wear on almost all our days, even the hottest. But I can't find them this year. They have gone the way of the much lamented legging jean itself, I fear.</p> <p> I just realized that is NO help. </p> <p>How about Old Navy. I'll bet you could get an inexpensive pair of jeans there and hem to whatever length you wish. The Rock Star Leggings might work? They are not heavy fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-denim-shorts-help#post-638609 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 22:54:21 +0000 Abie 638609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites right now are from Style and Company at Macy's. They are very light weight, have some stretch, and the rise on them is really nice on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-denim-shorts-help#post-638602 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 22:45:29 +0000 Sona 638602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>have you tried the kut from kloth bermuda length shorts? not too heavy and a nice bit of stretch in my opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-denim-shorts-help#post-638485 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 18:59:20 +0000 Anonymous 638485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isabel, the weight of the medium wash Long and Leans from Gap is a nice weight for warmer months, in my opinion. Very soft, too. I recently cut off a pair of these Long and Leans just below my knee and rolled it twice to just above. They run large and stretch a bit, if you're not familiar with the sizing. I sized down 2 sizes in these.</p> <p>These: <a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=48595&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=673952" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.com/browse/prod.....pid=673952</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-denim-shorts-help#post-638436 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 18:27:50 +0000 Isabel 638436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meredith, I realized that I may not be able to find shorts...but a jean would do just as well for me to alter. Let's see what comes are way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-denim-shorts-help#post-638430 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 18:23:47 +0000 Meredith1953 638430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am looking for some denim capris but may have to resort to turning an old pair of denims into capris on my own. I will be interested to see what others suggest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-denim-shorts-help#post-638416 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 18:10:57 +0000 Isabel 638416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the ideas that Angie has posted about denim shorts. Most denim shorts that I find are heavy denim. Are there any out there that are a lightweight denim </p> <p>( Or lightweight denim jeans that I could turn into shorts . ) </p>
