It's not fashion Thursday yet, but how would you style these shorts?

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

I would cut them shorter as that length is terrible on my body type. Then I’d pair them with some high top Vans, a ratty band t-shirt tucked in the front of the shorts a little, and a black and white flannel.
Yeah, long and a high waist wouldn't work for me at all.
Gimme hotpants any day, though, and I'll rock 'em :-)
I envy everyone who can pull them off haha. Short inseams look...off on me? Summer's rough for me because short shorts make my hips look narrower and I'm also like 90% leg because of my height.
I think I look really good in hiking shorts and high-waisted linen shorts, but moreso in a camp counselor kind of way, and I also wanna pull off an alt look too without boiling in jeans. Someday I'll figure it out!
Yeah, they don't work for everyone ... lots of other shorts combos make me look frumpy though, lol.
For you, how about Capri pants in linen?
If you don't want short shorts or to look like a youth leader, then maybe lycra shorts would work. I have to be careful picking them though, because of camel toe issues :-/
Love those ideas! Lycra shorts + old band tees/tanks are great when I go jogging.
Thinking about what works with my linen and hiking shorts, I think it's the high waist and the wide leg so it's still leggy (but like 75% leg instead of 90%), but creates an hourglass shape around the hips.
Cutoffs tend to be really form-fitting, so maybe I need to find a pair of denim shorts with a wide leg. Maybe I'll still look like a camp counselor after that, but screw it. Goth camp counselor. 🐈⬛ ⛺
Well, good luck in your shorts adventure o7
