I think this silhouette looks fab on slim rectangles and ITs (woohoo!) because winter shorts draws my attention right to the slim hips.</p> <p>I like this particular outfit as-is (lovely textures) but don't love it. The like-but-not-love is mostly a color problem, to my eye. May I ask whether the shorts are tweeded with a warm white (eg, cream) or a cool white (eg, pure white)? I ask because the cream sweater's tone is too-close-to-contrast but too-warm-to-match the shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me/page/2#post-779839 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 06:48:41 +0000 Rabbit Heart 779839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they'd work much better in a different styling - top tucked in (belt or no belt, up to you) and low boots (chelsea boots or oxfords or something like that, not higher than ankle booties). For me, this is the only way they can look good, sorry. Otherwise not a huge fan of winter shorts either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me/page/2#post-779820 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 05:33:27 +0000 goldenpig 779820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love winter shorts, so yay from me! But 5 degrees? You weren't cold? Dang you are tough stuff! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me/page/2#post-779807 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 04:55:12 +0000 JAileen 779807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look cute in them, but the shorts/boots look reminds me of vintage flight attendant. I guess it all depends on what sort of image you're trying to project. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779798 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 04:17:25 +0000 Marley 779798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779755 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 02:51:54 +0000 Clarissa 779755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute fall/winter outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779716 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 02:01:14 +0000 Anonymous 779716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my basics, but you love a statement piece, which is exactly why you should own and wear (and rock!) winter shorts. 'Nuff said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779715 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 02:00:46 +0000 Jaime 779715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look wise, I love them. Cold wise, I cannot say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779710 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 01:54:16 +0000 Aida 779710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 'em (but you probably could have guessed that)! I much prefer to wear thick shorts vs skirts in winter, and plan to add another pair or two of them to my wardrobe this season. I quite like the light gray visual, especially with all the colors you wear. Citron would look fab with these! Also silky tops. These look appropriately baggy and are especially fun with all of your tougher boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779656 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 00:53:50 +0000 catgirl 779656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, it was 5 degrees here (F), which was part of my DH's attitude... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779654 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 00:51:52 +0000 Suz 779654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them!!! </p> <p>I am sort of a winter short fraidy cat (because, like, it's WINTER) but as far as looks go, I think they're awesome. And with the right puffer coat over top, why not? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779593 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 23:26:21 +0000 Anonymous 779593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BOL- Your hubby sounds just like mine. It's a Yay from me, you look really good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779589 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 23:24:03 +0000 missvee 779589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them on you and second the idea that you could wear them with your citron sweater and the black tights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779472 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 21:13:46 +0000 Anonymous 779472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolute Yay!. Combined with the sweater and the boots, they don't look anything like summer shorts. It's a very flattering look on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779461 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 21:02:58 +0000 Mo 779461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A year or two ago I would have maybe been on the other side of this . . . but the texture makes all the difference to me. Wool, a tweedy mix, the tights, the sweater, the boots. Huge yay.<br /> And to answer the choppy question from before, I think if the tights were just the right color, it would read more as ombre from afar rather than: shorts, line, tights, line, boots, line. Ya know? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779460 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 20:59:04 +0000 Janet 779460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, thanks, Una! I'd like to try some on in a store one day if I find a pair I like. In fact, I might like shorts on me better with tights and boots than I do bare-legged in summer! I guess it's the self-consciousness about my thighs. I'd have to keep it very simple, I think -- tone-on-tone in maybe charcoal and black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779456 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 20:56:28 +0000 catgirl 779456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAHA, JR! You and my husband are on the same page! </p> <p>I totally appreciate honest feedback since I don't know if I CAN get away with these. I feel totally happy, but that's not always an indicator of anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779446 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 20:48:34 +0000 JR 779446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a fan of winter shorts. But if anybody can pull them off, you can. Not looking bad at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779439 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 20:43:00 +0000 catgirl 779439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies! i will play around with this some more but it looks like general approval. Janet, why on earth couldn't you wear this look with your amazing legs? If I can, you can! Look at Zap in hers - isn't she your size/height?</p> <p>My husband could not get his head around them. Our conversation was as follows:</p> <p>DH: What are you wearing?!<br /> Me: Winter shorts.<br /> DH: They're SHORTS.<br /> Me: I know, but they are wool and warm.<br /> DH: But they're shorts.<br /> Me: How is that different than a skirt?<br /> DH: They're shorts.</p> <p>Oh, well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779432 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 20:33:05 +0000 bj1111 779432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the look. think this would look better as is, rather than in black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779421 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 20:09:15 +0000 Diana 779421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big yay from me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779419 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 20:07:17 +0000 Parsley 779419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay from me!<br /> You've got the legs for them, and they look great with your new boots, btw.</p> <p>I'd say as long as you're warm enough, go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779412 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 20:01:29 +0000 Jamie 779412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big yay from me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779388 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 19:22:16 +0000 kellygirl 779388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Slouchy and cool. I'd totally wear this (if I was going to fly above the fashion radar!) I don't think it is too young at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779375 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 19:09:47 +0000 Janet 779375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say yay. </p> <p>I would love to be able to pull this off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779372 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 19:07:51 +0000 TraceyLiz65 779372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the length of these for winter use and that color is so versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779359 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 18:50:44 +0000 Transcona Shannon 779359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a bit of a poison eye for shorts in winter but I will say that you pull off this look beautifully and with panache! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779347 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 18:38:39 +0000 Raisin 779347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, definitely a yay! I was hesitant about this look for a while. Not because I don't like it, it looks great, but to me shorts and winter just didn't mix. But seeing everyone rock it is making me think I might need to try it. Anyway, I love the shorts, and they are definitely a yay on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779344 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 18:34:50 +0000 JulieJohn 779344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them!</p> <p>I think they would also look nice with a tucked in silky button-down shirt, like a Nexx. And your MaryK-picked fuchsia top with burgundy tights would be fun to see with these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-shorts-yay-or-nay-on-me#post-779343 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 18:34:41 +0000 Isis 779343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a yay vote; these look great! </p>
