    I am hearing and reading that short shorts are coming back. I was amazed when I found this video and these old guys and gal are still singing about short shorts 63 years later. I had sworn off wearing short shorts last year, but this summer decided to give it a go again. So far just around my place for the shorties and for out walking, halfway down to the knees. I have never liked knee-length shorts. I also heard that short shorts are coming back for guys.

    I wish I could pull off short shorts like this 92-year-old.

    I sure hope the older ladies that wear short shorts have legs like Tina Turner!!:D The older lady in the picture looks like she has nylons on. And older men in short shorts, oh gosh, I hope not! When the weather is too hot or cold, I walk at a recreation center that has an indoor walking track. I have seen some older men (and women) wearing shorts that are waaaaay to short, the kind of basketball shorts of the 60's and 70's short.:eek: I haven't worn short shorts since I was in my 20's. My legs are not pretty at my age.

    Good eye Krystal! I missed that she was wearing nylons. I wondered why her legs looked so smooth.

    Of all the possible reactions I could have had to this picture "pull off" was definitely not one of them.

    Oh my, bad choice of words on my part. I should have said, "I wish I could "rock" shorts....." Maybe "model" would be most correct. :D:D:D

    In our neck of the woods, short shorts have never left and are modest compared to what some of the ladies are wearing.

    Do we get to wear white calf-high socks with colored rings on the top with them?

    Isn't that the truth? The things the young gals wear around here have no inseam and with such a low rise, aren't flattering in my opinion. I think the style that we used to wear (I still do) with a 2" inseam and high rise over the navel, are the most flattering to the female figure.

    I think that my justification for wearing vintage style short shorts comes from a revival I attended as a teen with my mother and the preacher giving his opinion on how Christian women should dress according to the times said, "When the women of the world go nude, a Christian woman should wear a bikini." :D:D:D

    Or in my case, compression stockings. The cardiologist wants me in them so I'll wear them around the house but outside? With shorts? Nope.
