They really look like a skirt. I feel like if anyone can pull this off, it's Diana! It'll be a different vibe than the tweedy winter shorts looks though. I feel like it would be interesting to pattern mix this with houndstooth, if you have any. It may fail but could be fun to try? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-can-i-winterize-these-summery-shorts#post-779555 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 22:51:23 +0000 AJ 779555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Treat the shorts like a patterned skirt:<br /> <a href="http://www.refinery29.com/how-to-wear-your-shorts-in-winter/slideshow?page=5#slide-5" rel="nofollow">http://www.refinery29.com/how-.....=5#slide-5</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-can-i-winterize-these-summery-shorts#post-779553 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 22:50:43 +0000 Diana 779553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, I think you are all right. I may live in Boston now but sometimes I still think like a seasonally confused Southern Californian. Winter? What's that? Do you mean Not-Summer? </p> <p>Well, maybe I will wait for spring and try this, possibly with sheerer tights and oxfords. But it's probably not a good idea in November. =P </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-can-i-winterize-these-summery-shorts#post-779538 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 22:36:50 +0000 catgirl 779538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have three pairs of winter shorts (black, the ones I have on today, and a red and black checked pair) but all are in heavy wool fabric. I think these could be fall-ified but not winterized for Boston. Am willing to keep an open mind and see you try if you have ideas for them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-can-i-winterize-these-summery-shorts#post-779489 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 21:35:59 +0000 Janet 779489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the white background and floaty appearance makes these too summery to winterize, sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-can-i-winterize-these-summery-shorts#post-779484 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 21:26:55 +0000 Transcona Shannon 779484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm afraid no amount of "winterizing" these shorts would make them look like they weren't meant for winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-can-i-winterize-these-summery-shorts#post-779479 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 21:21:59 +0000 Anonymous 779479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just voted yay for Una's winter shorts because they are heavier weight wool shorts. I'm going to vote nay for these because they are summer shorts and I struggle with "seasonally confused" looks. But I live in a 4-season climate where winter is snow, ice and freezing temps. If you live in a more temperate area, this might work with tights, boots and a denim jacket...more of an autumn, than winter look. They are really cute shorts, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-can-i-winterize-these-summery-shorts#post-779470 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 21:11:11 +0000 Diana 779470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I have these blackbird shorts from Anthro. They are very summery in a light, flowing material (it's kind of chiffonish in texture but opaque), and are high waisted and kind of skirt-like. I was considering trying to pair them with tights and boots for a winter shorts look... do you guys think this would be a completely terrible idea? Too seasonally confused? </p> <p>By the way, I know from my poison eye thread that some of you have a poison eye for seasonally confused looks so it's OK if you think this is a terrible idea... </p>
