Inspired by another thread......

Can anyone explain what these things are about?

These are the garment that are halfway between shorts and trousers. They are like trousers, but end halfway between knee and ankle.......like trousers that have badly shrunk.

Do the wearers hope to get a tan on the lower few inches of their legs? Could they not make their mind up between trousers and shorts that day??

MrsH and I refer to them as "Dork-shorts".......because the wearer looks such a dork.

Can anyone explain them? Does anyone admit to wearing them??

What a great forum this is, it’s full of fashion tips and you get a fascinating insight into fellow member’s diets and even their waist sizes.UndecidedEmbarassed

Maybe as we are discussing shorts an inside leg measurement would be more appropriate.Happy

I reckon there are some of those who have been on this forum for a long time who might be expecting a comment from me!!!  Several know that I wear sandals all the year round.... and I generally wear socks when I wear long trousers.  For the record, I very rarely wear socks with shorts, but I only tend to wear shorts while we're on holiday in the van, 'in climates that suit'.

Do you wear your sandals with your bow tie and DJ? Black patent ones I can imagine.

Actually, I did once!!  I was going to a concert - fortunately it was only a very small concert when I was conducting one of my choirs.  I went in dress suit and bow tie and I had intended changing my sandals for shoes just before the concert.  When I came to look for my shoes I realised I had left them at home.  To far to go back and fetch them.... it just had to be done...  Laughing

You put me in mind of a chap who inadvertently came to work wearing odd shoes. Everyone knew within minutes but no one said a word. To this day, I think that he believed he'd got away with it. But we, and now CT knew better.

Back in the days of the 'winter of discontent' we had a power cut just as I was getting dressed for work. Power came back on shortly after arriving at the office with one black and one brown shoe.

You must be getting me confused with someone else R2B.Wink

My inside leg is 33 inches but I usually have to buy 34, 32 won’t do, I can’t stand trousers that are too short.Cool
