The gauze shirt is just right with dark shorts too. I know what you mean about paper white legs; I ease into warm weather with linen crops before I break out the shorts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---slightly-preppy-early-summer-style#post-2410530 Wed, 15 Apr 2026 20:41:01 +0000 Sal 2410530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that this type of edgy footwear is very much part of your style Janet so it will always look right.&nbsp; Doesn't mean you can't wear lots of other styles as well though - you also suit sporty and more minimal styles of sandal.</p> <p>It's like pearls and light footwear are signature for Angie, and maybe Aviators are for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---slightly-preppy-early-summer-style#post-2410522 Wed, 15 Apr 2026 18:27:28 +0000 Janet 2410522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, thank you! These are G1 Paper Twill shorts and I believe they were offered in a variety of lengths. I’m not sure if they are still made — my searches always turned up results on resale sites. </p> <p>I can’t believe it’s still so cold there! I was in NY state last week and even there it was warming up quite a bit. But they had late snow and some of the areas I wanted to hike were still closed, doh!</p> <p>Thanks for the compliments! I wasn’t sure whether the chunky sandal was still a thing, but I do like them and they work for me. I let go of my two old pairs of lug-soled fisherman sandals and wish I still had the white ones, but they were getting really beat up. My sandals could use a little refresh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---slightly-preppy-early-summer-style#post-2410521 Wed, 15 Apr 2026 18:24:45 +0000 Sal 2410521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this polished casual outfit. I really like it. I think the accessories and the breeziness of the shirt make it lean away from preppy. </p> <p>Great accessorising. And the legs look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---slightly-preppy-early-summer-style#post-2410520 Wed, 15 Apr 2026 18:19:39 +0000 Vicki 2410520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, yes, and yes, from head to toe! I love preppy and, likely, always will. Your metallic Dolce Vita sandals are wonderful and for the first time in a long time I’m wearing a metallic belt, as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---slightly-preppy-early-summer-style#post-2410518 Wed, 15 Apr 2026 18:15:48 +0000 LJP 2410518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a great outfit Janet. I feel like I’m living on another planet temperature-wise though . Still barely above 0C here . I love shorts but find it almost impossible to find the right length and fit . What brand are these ? I’m also off to find those sandals - I could justify a new silver pair with some presence / chunkiness . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---slightly-preppy-early-summer-style#post-2410517 Wed, 15 Apr 2026 18:08:43 +0000 Janet 2410517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s 90 degrees today and I don’t love wearing shorts, especially this early in the year, when my legs are pasty white (as opposed to slightly less pasty white in a couple of months, LOL), but I just received this pair and decided to rip off the bandaid and expose the old legs to the outside world. </p> <p>The shorts are a near dupe of my favorites, which I bought in Santa Fe back in 2019. The original pair is grey and they’ve been summer workhorses. The length, straight-cut leg, and fit of them just work for me. I looked in vain for the same shorts for years, and finally a pair popped up, new with tags, on Poshmark, in navy! I snapped them up. </p> <p>Worn here with a new Caslon white gauze shirt. Breezy for the hot temps outside but long sleeves for inside the grocery store. I like the shorter length of shirts these days so I’ve been investing in them when I find a good one. I semi-tucked here but can wear this untucked too. </p> <p>Accents of silver in my Jenny Bird bracelets, ring from the Gaudi museum a decade ago, Dolce Vita sandals, and Rag &amp; Bone belt. Bag is from an artisan at the Smithsonian annual craft fair. </p> <p>The overall effect with these shorts is a bit on the preppy side, but I don’t mind that as long as there’s a little twist on it. </p> <p>In a couple of days we will be back to more seasonal temps, and I will need to get wear out of my spring stuff while I can! </p>
