. . .unless you’re Kate Moss, on the beach, or in your own backyard, please spare us and keep them mid-thigh or else you just look trashy {even if you do have perfect legs …which, let’s just be honest, is subjective}
{not a question of hotness obviously, the subject at hand is taste}
* Longer *
* In the name of Humor *
Absolutely Unacceptable . . .

Well, yeah, the last guy is really the poster child for denim shorts. Over 30 or not.

Ali
Love it – glad SOMEONE finally said it!
Sher

ilovecoolthings
i agree! even though i could possibly get away with it, i refuse!!! I might do it with a black opaque tight this fall though… but they’ll definitely be in the longer range…
ps – this should also apply to any below 30 year old that doesn’t have PERFECT back of thighs.. ahem.
emily

Haha, I don’t think the booty shorts are acceptable under any circumstances, no matter how rockin’ your body is
love your blog, I’m following
Sarah
It’s funny, I just got some denim cutoffs, but I’m going to be 21 soon. Now I’m thinking, damn, I can only wear them for 9 more years lol. great post and very true statements!
Miss Madeline

Amy
agree…but i think even if you’re under 30 you have to be careful about baring toooooo much junk. how old is jennifer aniston, anyway? i swear she’s benjamin button. she keeps getting hotter!
Meghan
Ha! I love this post. I just saw several teenage girls with these shorts yesterday while out shopping and thought they were highly inappropriate.
Keith
Hey there. Great post. I hope you’ve been having a wonderful weekend. Take care. Cheers!
Angela
Thank you for posting this!!!!! I did a similar post on cargo shorts a while back, and HAD to take issue with everyone and their dog wearing these super short shorts: http://www.stilettosandgrace.com/2009/09/ask-angela.html
You’re right, some people do get free passes. But, some people think they get a free pass, wear the offense, and turn the stomachs of all the walk by.
diane
A bra might be in order for the girl in the orange shirt.
Hilarious post, love your sense of humor. : )
karuliine
denim shorts, brrr tricky trend to me… maybe with tights a la Kate?
anyway, your blog is fab! just found it and i´m following you. DIY projects are especially cool!
xoxo,

Meghan
A lot of these photos are bad but that last one takes the cake.
Brett Alexandra
Love the tights idea. I would totally sport that! Last photo is hilaaaarious!
TheBeautyFile
So loving the “free pass….” Love Rachel Bilson, Elle and Jenn…they like, kind of just radiant gorgeousness…
LifestyleBohemia
OMG, I am laughing so hard right now. Amazing post!! What a way to end the weekend 🙂
xx
Amy
What a fantastic post. I think I will continue to chuckle away all day after seeing that chap at the end – what was he thinking? Where do you find all this fabulousness on yr blog.? You must spend hours and hours putting it all together BUT so worth it.
Thanks for the laugh. Oh and btw I WILL NOT be seen dead in anything so short!
Amy
I have been meaning to ask… Please may i possibly have your hair? I think it will be really cheap to ship to the Uk and i promise to take very good care of it. Your wardrobe would be good too although reckon I might not be able to pull it off quite as well as you! x
janettaylor
I agree with U!

AAAH that last image caught me off guard, haha. The cutoff jean has been my summer uniform, so glad I have several years before my cutoff license expires :~)
Bruce
I can tell you were never a fan of the Dukes of Hazard….
Kristin
Thank you. That last image has now made my day.
Style Porn
Mmm…I second the notion that if you’re that guy, you should wear cutoff shorts whenever possible.
Susan
hahaha, that was funny :))
xoxo
Chessa!
OMG! thank you! my sister and i were saying this the other day. you should see the people in manhattan who do this. they sit on the subway with these freaking shorts. I don’t even like my bare arms to touch the subway, let alone my legs and they look like they are wearing a bathing suit. I mean, I know it’s hot out but COME ON!! this is New York not the back woods! sorry…I had to get that out:)
and btw, that last photo. how did you even come across that one. I’d like to see the google search! lol
jennine
i have to admit i wear them. and i’m in my MID 30s. well, not the short look at my ass ones, but the more baggy longer ones like MK or Ashely is sporting. no one’s looking at my ass then.
omg…the capcha had lexpro, isnt that some kind of drug?

Oh my gosh. I just got a great laugh out of this. I was just shopping around for a pair of jean shorts for 6 Flags this weekend and kept thinking, they are all so short! Not appropriate at all!

The last photo is wrong in soooo many ways!!! I’m glad that you put it last. lol.
Love your blog!

I will keep my unacceptable short shorts, I love them, trashy or not. There is no way I will be caught dead in mid thigh shorts…those are basically pants or even worse capris. I realize this is based on your opinion of what looks fashionable, however, in my opinion mid thigh shorts belong on a grandmother. They make skinny legs look like sticks and fat legs like sausage in casing.
