Even at high end stores. May I add white button down shirts. Very frustrating. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-finding-white-shorts-be-so-impossible#post-596492 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 12:03:40 +0000 ButterflyLady 596492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel your pain. I recently ordered white jeans from Boden (in the UK) and the pocket linings were that nude colour - I'm not sure if they do white shorts, but it might be worth a try? I think white denim is the way to go, as the fabric is naturally thicker than the skimpy, thin stuff manufacturers seem to use for everything these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-finding-white-shorts-be-so-impossible#post-596317 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 22:04:20 +0000 sarah 596317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all of the suggestions! I will certainly keep you posted on the ones I bought and how they fit.</p> <p>I have cut off an old pair of white skinnies, but they don't fit perfectly in the waist and I do have my white clams from last year that I made from long IPL pants, but they're a bit baggy in the rear. So, those will tide me over. Plus it's supposed to snow in a couple of days! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-finding-white-shorts-be-so-impossible#post-596180 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 18:15:53 +0000 velvetychocolate 596180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tihnk it was Christy who'd found a nice-looking pair of white denim shorts at LOFT just recently. Here's a link to the shorts, and a link to her thread about them:</p> <p>The shorts on LOFT's website:</p> <p><a href="http://www.loft.com/loft/product/product%3A275126/LOFT-crop-view-all/Longer-Length-Shorts-in-White-Denim/275126?colorExplode=false&#038;skuId=11037651&#038;catid=cat810024&#038;productPageType=fullPriceProducts&#038;defaultColor=9000" rel="nofollow">http://www.loft.com/loft/produ.....Color=9000</a></p> <p>Christy's post:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-white-shorts" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ite-shorts</a></p> <p>Just for the record, I bought the KUT denim shorts last year and they are fabulous! I love them. I have two pairs, I like them that much. Flattering and comfortable. In these, you may end up sizing down as I find KUT denim to be on the generous side for jeans/shorts. I really like these shorts, and would recommend them for sure. </p> <p>Unfortunately, I just took a look around for the exact pair of KUT bermuda shorts I got last year (purchased mine from Nordstrom I think) and I can't find them...I'll keep looking. Here's a picture of the ones I have (photo from Amazon, but they are 'unavailable' on Amazon too):</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/KUT-Kloth-Womens-Pocket-Bermuda/dp/B0033PR99E/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/KUT-Klot.....d_sxp_f_pt</a></p> <p>The ones I see on Nordstrom right now have a different style of pocket (a welt type pocket). Not sure if that makes a difference. </p> <p>In the meantime, I'll be sure to post back here if I find "the" KUT bermudas I got last year anywhere this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-finding-white-shorts-be-so-impossible#post-596155 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 17:42:26 +0000 Amy 596155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, by the way, don't bother with the Banana Republic white trousers either. Same problem. *sigh* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-finding-white-shorts-be-so-impossible#post-596136 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 17:22:42 +0000 Suz 596136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've probably already seen or tried these, but just in case: </p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/halogen-taylor-curvy-fit-bermuda-shorts/3301780?origin=category&#038;resultback=4366" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ha.....tback=4366</a></p> <p>I don't know if a curvy fit is a good thing or not. Hard to say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-finding-white-shorts-be-so-impossible#post-596081 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 15:51:12 +0000 Suz 596081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, will you please report your perceptions of the blue denim Kut bermudas? They look good to me, and because I quite like my Kut Diana white skinnies, I am wondering if these would also work for me. I figure if they do work for you, they'd probably be good for me as well. </p> <p>And good luck on the white shorts hunt. I'll keep looking too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-finding-white-shorts-be-so-impossible#post-596067 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 15:36:00 +0000 Mellllls 596067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>mine are from aeropostale and i LOVE them! however they are from a few seasons ago and i know aeropostale has changed the cut of their bermudas. i tried to buy another pair last season or so and they were cut differently. good luck!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-finding-white-shorts-be-so-impossible#post-596065 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 15:33:51 +0000 Jonesy 596065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a challenge! Agree with Amy about the beige pockets! I have a pair of Gap skinnies from a few years ago that I cut off into clams (and cut out the pockets). Not the best strategy, but it's all I got :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-finding-white-shorts-be-so-impossible#post-596064 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 15:32:11 +0000 Meredith1953 596064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't wait to see how they look on you! I am looking for white walk shorts myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-finding-white-shorts-be-so-impossible#post-595943 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 11:59:15 +0000 sarah 595943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your sympathies, ladies! I ordered them, along with some blue denim Kut bermudas. We'll see.</p> <p>I actually have been trying on white pants, too, with the thought of shortening - no luck there yet. But I will persevere and let you know how they turn out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-finding-white-shorts-be-so-impossible#post-595899 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 06:58:40 +0000 catgirl 595899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sympathize! But have no suggestions. Nothing more frustrating than a quest for something that doesn't seem to exist... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-finding-white-shorts-be-so-impossible#post-595894 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 06:40:31 +0000 cciele 595894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ended up buying a pair of white jeans that was not see through and having them hemmed to Bermuda length (I think). That worked well, except the shorts keep slipping down my hips (annoying). Anyone want a pair of size 29 bermuda shorts? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-finding-white-shorts-be-so-impossible#post-595837 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 05:11:59 +0000 christieanne 595837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Scarlet on the substantial opaque white tshirt! Shorts would be twice as hard to hunt down. Good luck on the quest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-finding-white-shorts-be-so-impossible#post-595814 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 04:16:58 +0000 Scarlet 595814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't find a white T-shirt that's not see through, pffffff. I did have a good pair of white shorts from Ann Taylor once, but that was 15 years ago when most things were not actually made like a piece of garbage. Good luck in your search. Maybe check white denim shorts? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-finding-white-shorts-be-so-impossible#post-595806 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 04:01:43 +0000 kellygirl 595806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried a pair at WalMart and they were horrible. Cross those off your list too ; ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-finding-white-shorts-be-so-impossible#post-595802 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 03:57:04 +0000 Sveta 595802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have nothing to loose - order and report!<br /> I understand you are looking for not-denim shorts; otherwise you can check out Kut, they are usually pretty substantial. You also can buy cropped pants and shorten them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-finding-white-shorts-be-so-impossible#post-595722 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 02:30:38 +0000 Suz 595722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you.

That would make way too much sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-finding-white-shorts-be-so-impossible#post-595718 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 02:27:41 +0000 Amy 595718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been through that a lot recently too. What I want to know is why they don't use nude colored pocket linings so they don't glare through the fabric. That's the general practice amongst the sewists I know.</p> <p>With nude colored undergarments and, the semi-transparent nature of the fabric wouldn't be so horrible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-finding-white-shorts-be-so-impossible#post-595707 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 02:16:13 +0000 sarah 595707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Free shipping, free returns...I don't even have to drive to THE mall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-finding-white-shorts-be-so-impossible#post-595700 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 02:04:00 +0000 MNsara 595700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just feelin' your pain here . . .I haven't subjected myself to any recent white bottom tortures.</p> <p>Those Gallia Moda shorts have a nice length.
