I like them as is,top then with a fluid shirt and IMO your good to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-these-shorts#post-1255824 Mon, 19 May 2014 20:22:39 +0000 Zibbets 1255824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute shorts and slides!<br />I'm with CocoLion. Either length works, but I'm not loving the roll. Having to pull them down to stand would be a deal breaker. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-these-shorts#post-1255816 Mon, 19 May 2014 20:12:58 +0000 CocoLion 1255816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like either #1, as is, or #6, considerably shorter (hemmed not rolled).</p> <p>I can see why you love those sandals, they have both pretty and cool going on at the same time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-these-shorts#post-1255807 Mon, 19 May 2014 19:56:02 +0000 Laurie 1255807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the longer length, but they work rolled too. &nbsp;I love the color. &nbsp;Style these babies and show them back to us! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-these-shorts#post-1255754 Mon, 19 May 2014 18:29:30 +0000 rachylou 1255754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The butterfly sandals are great. I like the shorts in #1 and 2. I don't see a troubling flare... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-these-shorts#post-1255751 Mon, 19 May 2014 18:23:14 +0000 Neel 1255751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote 1 too! I didn't even notice the flare until you mentioned it! Definitely worth playing around IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-these-shorts#post-1255742 Mon, 19 May 2014 18:14:49 +0000 Gracie 1255742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote 1/2 as well – a boyish lenght, the color is fab and the sandals are mesmerizing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-these-shorts#post-1255689 Mon, 19 May 2014 17:15:52 +0000 carter 1255689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great shorts. #1-2 look best to me...very flattering length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-these-shorts#post-1255675 Mon, 19 May 2014 17:01:51 +0000 Anonymous 1255675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first look best. Some of the others look uncomfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-these-shorts#post-1255662 Mon, 19 May 2014 16:43:55 +0000 Angie 1255662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 best too - by far. Looks great to my eye. And those are fun slides.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-these-shorts#post-1255656 Mon, 19 May 2014 16:37:40 +0000 Mo 1255656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a very similar white pair. &nbsp;I want to say I don't like the idea of flare but in reality, it doesn't bug me one big at that spot. &nbsp;If we start talking midway up the thigh flaring, I'm an adamant no. &nbsp;I cut my jean BF shorts for just that reason when I first got them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-these-shorts#post-1255643 Mon, 19 May 2014 16:18:52 +0000 rae 1255643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, could you taper the hem slightly to be more like this?<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vince-side-buckle-twill-bermuda-shorts/3681095?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=0&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_1_C">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vi.....earch-pers</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-these-shorts#post-1255642 Mon, 19 May 2014 16:17:09 +0000 carambola 1255642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting. I relate to&nbsp;what Sarah said about having similar length/shape shorts and not liking that slight&nbsp;flare on myself, but it doesn't bother me on you at all. </p> <p>I think 1/2 and 3 look good. I would leave them as is and then roll to increase the taper as they stretch with wear.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-these-shorts#post-1255641 Mon, 19 May 2014 16:06:43 +0000 jackiec 1255641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I actually like #1 the best! Doesn't bother me at all. I'd be interested to hear what Angie says. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-these-shorts#post-1255638 Mon, 19 May 2014 15:57:34 +0000 Sarah 1255638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will be following this thread because I have a similar pair of shorts (and a similar body shape). The flare bothers me on my shorts but looking at your pictures I kind of like 1/2 the best, the flare doesn't bother me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-these-shorts#post-1255635 Mon, 19 May 2014 15:47:08 +0000 Susie 1255635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The flare would bother me, at least at the current length. I like them best in #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-these-shorts#post-1255630 Mon, 19 May 2014 15:43:03 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1255630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a very poison eye for the combination of the lenght and flare in photo #1, but have to say that completely changed by the time I got to photo 3. I know there are others that aren't fond of shorts.but they are a must in my climate and think that they are worth keeping and wearing the shorter way... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-these-shorts#post-1255629 Mon, 19 May 2014 15:38:37 +0000 Anonymous 1255629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me the length in #3 looks perfect, because that's how I like mine too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-these-shorts#post-1255627 Mon, 19 May 2014 15:35:11 +0000 JAileen 1255627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know about the shorts. If it were me I'd keep them because I wear lots of shorts in our very hot summers. I don't know what length is best. I'd probably leave them as is. But I love the sandals! How fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-these-shorts#post-1255622 Mon, 19 May 2014 15:27:05 +0000 kellygirl 1255622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them in 1/2. I don't mind the tiny flare at all. I think it's a very flattering length but I'm also kind if tired if the fitted Bermudas that are really fitted at the knee. These look perfect to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-these-shorts#post-1255620 Mon, 19 May 2014 15:17:47 +0000 Janet 1255620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had these for a couple of years (maybe 3?). They are very casual but potentially useful if I could figure this out. I like the color too. My conflicting feelings about my legs probably gets in the way of me really seeing what looks best.</p> <p>The fit on these is kind of boyfriend-y. They stretch out with wear, and in the hot summer, a loose fit might be better anyway. But the hem of these bothers me. It flares out slightly and ends just below the knee. I think the length is not bad on me, but the flare annoys me. Does it bother your eye or is it just me? </p> <p>I've shown them here full length (1-2) , rolled (4), and folded up to two slightly different lengths to give an idea how they would look if I had them hemmed (3, 5). Rolling shorts is not ideal fore because my thighs are thick and rolling tends to make the shorts stick to my thighs, so I have to yank them down when I stand up, unless they loosen enough with wear. </p> <p>Pic 7 shows the way the shorts are currently hemmed -- it's a lot of fabric, but not suitable to be let down to a longer length because of the fading around the stitching.</p> <p>Ignore lack of styling. Just a tee and flat sandals, but I don't want to have to rely on heels to make these look better on me. And my hair is frightful! But I'm about to go for a bike ride.</p> <p>Bonus shot of my favorite old knock-around butterfly-print sandals. I love these and wish they weren't getting beat up! </p> <p>What do you think? Are these worth working with? What length do you think is working best on me? </p>
