I'm pear-shaped and have a relatively large bottom, and very large calves.

After reading the posts about white bottoms, I decided to purchase a pair of above-the-knee white denim shorts in Uniqlo. But would it be too brave an attempt since this will be actually the first pair of shorts that I dare to wear outside my house after hiding my calves in pants in years? Should I just stick to black or other dark colors?

But it's SUMMER right now, so I want to feel summery.
