Hmmmm, I kinda like these and have not worn shorts in years.  Not sure I can sport a tucked in shirt like you have, however.

They remind me of the Madras plain shorts I bought when I was a teen.  They were for teen boys, but I liked the baggy look.

They look cute on you!

@Witchy Woman 

they're very breezy and cover my knees which I appreciate! LOL I don't know who decided that women should only wear fitted shorts or that the available 'baggy' ones should be the matronly knits with an elastic pull-on waist?!

L.L. Bean has some nice madras bermudas but they're not as roomy

I so wish I had kept my Madras plaid (not plain!) items.

Authentic Madras is almost impossible to find now, and very expensive.  I liked the feel of the slubbed cotton and the colors.

I'll take a look at the LL Bean shorts...but my short-wearing days might be over.

In the meantime, I'm going to keep your shorts top of mind.  This may be the summer I try them out.

OMG--there are no words.

Glad you found what you were looking for. Enjoy wearing them!

You're correct. So why bother with the snark? I'm well aware they're not everyones' cup of tea so what is your point?? Mean is fun?

@Andreatoo When you post a photo of yourself especially in something "different" you risk getting negative comments -- what you are calling snark - as well as the positive ones you were probably expecting from your friends and admirers. IMO I don't think those shorts, esp the first pair, are at all flattering (they make you look very disproportionate) and you could probably find a pair that are equally comfortable but more flattering.
You posted, you get opinions.

@Pearlee 

Yes. I posted. This does not mean I forfeit my right to respond.

Save your hypocrisy for a Logo thread

I don't understand the need to be mean, I really don't. I know I've hurt people's feelings before, but I have rarely (if ever) done it on purpose. 

Re: clothing --- not all styles are for everyone. But someone posts a picture of something they like and they model it on their body and they've acknowdedge it's not a look for everyone .. I'm just going to say bravo or nothing.  I did LOL when I saw the title of your thread and thought Andrea found her shorts!!! 

Happy you found the shorts.

@Andreatoo 

love love them!

me too, as far as looking for full shorts (wanting 10" inseam)

I did have some Cargo shorts (Columbia) and got rid of them! Dang it!

 You look so great!

I like them.  But then, I am a huge fan of cargo pants.  I don't like to carry a purse when we travel, so I wear a lot of cargos to carry all my stuff -- except I don't have any shorts, just capris and long pants.  (old Travel Smith catalogs)

Thanks for the pix
