I too am wearing shorts this summer. I actually realized I like my legs! They are strong . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand#post-1704836 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 06:45:43 +0000 Janet 1704836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you! I can relate. Also I have had the same realization as chewyspaghetti. Shorts in lighter colors tend to be a little more flattering on my pale legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand#post-1704538 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 20:41:23 +0000 Louise 1704538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't see the photo but good on you x It's taken a while but I've just picked up some black linen just above knee length shorts and I've got 2 pairs of workwear shorts. I couldn't find any suitable so bought trousers and got them shortened to just below the knee so they are smart enough for work but much cooler x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand#post-1704492 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 19:19:03 +0000 catgirl 1704492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pic? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand#post-1704340 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 15:21:21 +0000 Anonymous 1704340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amen to what <b>JAileen</b> just said. You shouldn't feel like you can't wear shorts in these Hellishly hot temperatures we've been having. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand#post-1704337 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 15:12:43 +0000 JAileen 1704337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see a picture, but I think everyone should feel free to wear shorts. Our local forecast for today is 105F. I will be wearing shorts!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand#post-1704317 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 14:42:14 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1704317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you - I'm not going to suffer the heat in pants no matter what my legs look like.&nbsp; That being said, there are definitely some short styles that work better on me than others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand#post-1704278 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 13:52:31 +0000 unfrumped 1704278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray and I get this for sure.<br /> And what chewy spaghetti said- for me it's " medium- light" colors like khaki, gray, medium range summer colors and footwear in same range.<br /> As I grow older there's less and less ability to deny aging changes and the realization that, if I'm lucky I will live to be pretty old and well, if so, I'm gonna LOOK OLD. So it won't be able to be much about the physical package ( notwithstsnding my happy glow!).</p> <p>That said, I'm still a long (er) pants person for a lot if occasions because I run cold and freeze in summer air conditioning. The ongoing " trend" for cropped pant styles and rolled hems that can be adjusted, and the slight BF styles that fit more breathably work well for me for casual wear- and my lookout is for lighter weight fabrics. So s goal is to keep uodated in some versions of these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand#post-1704218 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 11:51:07 +0000 Suz 1704218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see a photo either but I applaud you!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand#post-1704199 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 10:54:39 +0000 kkards 1704199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>we are our own worst critics….good for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand#post-1704197 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 10:51:29 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1704197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not only am I wearing shorts, but I am wearing the shortest shorts I ever have this summer....at the age of 43! For me, the color makes a huge difference in how I feel in them. I had always bought black or dark denim shorts. I'm pale, and I discovered white or light colored shorts don't visually cut my body up as much and I am much more comfortable in them, even in shorter lengths.<br /> Good for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand#post-1704190 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 10:28:31 +0000 viva 1704190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish your picture were here, Echo. I'm struggling with shorts this summer and am inspired by your words!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand#post-1704182 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 09:57:51 +0000 Summer 1704182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see a picture, Echo, but good for you for getting back into shorts. I haven't worn them for some years now, but maybe I should give them another go, at least for wearing around the house and garden. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand#post-1704174 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 07:43:52 +0000 Anna 1704174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand exactly where you're coming from. After reading the postings on this forum and hearing everyone else talk about taking a stand for the first time in 30 years I have worn shorts this summer. I never felt good doing it before but eventually you just have to be comfortable with yourself. Good for you ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand#post-1704155 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 05:53:25 +0000 Echo 1704155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I realize that this might not seem big for many other people, but I haven't worn shorts for years. This isn't the best pic, but I am in New Orleans taking a stand with my summer body . </p>
