These usually come in at least six different colours (even some stripes), and are very flattering and comfortable. One of my summertime faves.&nbsp; </p> <p>Kut from the Kloth Denim Bermuda Shorts (pic #3):<br /><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/kut-from-the-kloth-denim-bermuda-shorts/3400608?cm_cat=datafeed&amp;cm_ite=kut_from_the_kloth_denim_bermuda_shorts:624964&amp;cm_pla=bottoms:women:short&amp;cm_ven=Google_Product_Ads&amp;mr:referralID=f2d728db-0865-11e3-a969-001b2166c2c0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ku.....8;cm_ite=k</a></p> <p>Club Monaco "Grace" Shorts (Pic #4 from the YLF Blog) - sorry, no link to the actual shorts on Club Monaco's site - they might be all gone by now? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/showtell-me-your-favorite-shortsclams-for-summer#post-1008607 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 00:20:33 +0000 nancylee 1008607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the great suggestions, everyone. &nbsp;</p> <p>Suz, Jules, and Diane, I <i><b>wish&nbsp;</b></i><b></b>I had a pair of jeans I could part with. &nbsp;I've been such a diligent closet purger over the past couple of years that any unworn denim is long gone! &nbsp;</p> <p>kkards and Wendi, I'm ordering some JCrew shirts for my son to take back to college so I might just order a couple pair of bermudas for me. &nbsp;They still have navy, khaki and white in my size. &nbsp;:)</p> <p>Wendi and Adelfa, thanks for the suggestions. &nbsp;I do love my Kut boyfriend jeans, so I'm sure the shorts would be good, too.</p> <p>I'm also trying&nbsp;these Jag shorts from Zappos:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zappos.com/jag-jeans-lilly-bermuda-short-fine-line-twill-nutty?zfcTest=fcl%3A0">http://www.zappos.com/jag-jean.....st=fcl%3A0</a></p> <p>We'll see! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/showtell-me-your-favorite-shortsclams-for-summer#post-1008560 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 22:03:28 +0000 Adelfa 1008560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last summer I got a pair of bermuda denim shorts from Old Navy.

Very comfy they were too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/showtell-me-your-favorite-shortsclams-for-summer#post-1008437 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 17:17:08 +0000 Wendi1984 1008437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got some fabulous Kut from the Kloth bermuda shorts earlier this summer in a dark wash. My one complaint is that they do stretch out while wearing, so I can only wear them once before washing. (I usually like to get 2-3 wearings out of denim.)</p> <p>Then last weekend, I picked up a pair of "ex-boyfriend" bermudas at Macy's. They're Style &amp; Co. Curvy Fit. Faded and a bit slouchy. Very nice fit. And they were 50% off. (One advantage to living in a hot climate is picking up summer clothes on clearance when we've still got some more summery weather ahead to wear them.)<br />I got the Kut shorts from Nordstrom&nbsp; Rack. I don't know if they still have that style, but they always have a selection of that brand in stock. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/showtell-me-your-favorite-shortsclams-for-summer#post-1008427 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 17:04:18 +0000 Jules 1008427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah I took some boot cuts that weren't PPL but fit great in the waist/hip and turned them into something like Angie's. They have been my favourite shorts this year. I suggest leaving them longish then you can experiment with different rolls and lengths till you hit your sweet spot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/showtell-me-your-favorite-shortsclams-for-summer#post-1008333 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 13:51:50 +0000 Suz 1008333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh! Do you have an older pair of jeans you don't love so much anymore? You could simply try <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/08/01/sweatshirt-shorts-and-sneakers-my-way/">Angie's trick here.&nbsp;</a>&nbsp; No spending necessary!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I have been wearing the same Always Skinny cutoff shorts for 3 years now (Bermuda length, pic 1.) I have two pairs that I rotate.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I also got a pair of Vanns (if you can believe it) last year that I like a lot. (pic 2)&nbsp;And I have a pair of white Mexx shorts that work pretty well. (Pic 3)</p> <p>Oh...and I wear the VC skirts for work at home casual, too. Not for gardening, obviously. But for pretty well everything else. Just throw a tee or a simple shirt on over top and you are good to go.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/showtell-me-your-favorite-shortsclams-for-summer#post-1008328 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 13:35:42 +0000 kkards 1008328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like the basic chino shorts from jcrew, and what i like most, the choices of in- seam. (depending on how tall you are and how long you want your shorts they have a 7 or 9 inch in seam).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/showtell-me-your-favorite-shortsclams-for-summer#post-1008316 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 13:01:41 +0000 nancylee 1008316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here it is halfway through August and I'm just realizing that I have a shorts deficit. &nbsp;I've been teaching in the summers for the past four years, so my focus for summer clothing has been more work focused. &nbsp;I have only two pair of (Jag Jeans) Bermuda shorts for casual wear, and&nbsp;I'm realizing that I could really use some more. &nbsp;I'd also like to give clams (clamdiggers)&nbsp;a try.&nbsp;</p> <p>Do you have a favorite pair or brand of shorts or clams that you could recommend, YLFers? &nbsp;(I'm most comfortable in Bermuda shorts these days, FYI) &nbsp;I realize it's the end of the summer, so I might be out of luck finding sizes and colors, but at least I can get some shopping advice. &nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks so much! &nbsp; </p>
