I've been in a desperate need for new shorts! The only two shorts I owned were too big for me now. They were also pretty short. Since I'm getting older now, I decided I should start wearing shorts with a longer length. Not as long as a bermuda length however; They make me look stumpy.
I also decided that I need a variety of different shorts: denim, black, and a print (most likely a plaid). I stay away from white bottoms because I feel exposed in them. Most white bottoms seem pretty sheer to me. I also stay away from khaki bottoms, just because I feel they don't suit me.
So I kept my eye out, and most of the ones I was attracted to were ones with cuffs. I believe cuffed shorts are the trend now, as I have been spotting them all over the place. So far, I've purchased two pairs of shorts.
Patrick Robinson for Target denim shorts - dark wash, $24.50I love the length, and I love all the details! There are zipper pockets in the front and in the back. There's a short knit elastic band in the back of the waistband. I also like that it's not a low waist. And it fits my tush nicely!
Express "short short" - Hampton Blue color, $3.66!!!! (originally $24.50)They were 25% off, plus I had a $15off coupon! I know these aren't exactly a much longer style, but they're still longer than my old shorts. For the price, I'm not complaining! I love it's wide waistband and cute pleats. I would have wanted these in black though. However, for the $24.50 original price, there were none.
I'm still on the hunt for black shorts and a printed pair. Express had some Editor style black shorts in the clearance racks for $14.99, but, unfortunately, none in my size. Maybe I'll try another Express store.
