what's your opinion of jorts???

Re: what's your opinion of jorts???

  • When you say "jorts" my immediate reaction is NO. But I do think jean shorts can be cute if done right (only on women.) I'd have to see them and see what top they are paired with to make a decision.
  • Fine on women, DH hasn't worn jorts since we were teenagers.

  • DH wears jorts daily in the summer, much to my dismay. When it comes to picking and choosing battles, I've learned to leave this one alone because I know I cannot win. I've tried everything short of destroying them. His buddies have harassed him. We all fail. He's going to start seeing my bariatric doctor with me in a few weeks. My plan is not to let him buy more after his current ones are too big...

  • on men? over the age of "tween"... never. EVEREVEREVER. little boys/kids are cute.

    on women? totally fine as long they fit and they're not daisy dukes-length with the frayed edges and/or the pocket length is longer than the edge of the short. I think that's a really stupid look.

  • They don't really bother me. I don't see very many people wearing them though now that I think of it. I have a pair of denim colored shorts from target but they are more of a work pant material.  I think as long as your shorts cover your bum and aren't filled with holes wear'em

  • Update: a minor victory in the battle against DH's jorts last night! He was flopped on the bed and I remembered this post and decided to try yet again. I gently pointed out that nobody wears them anymore and it was time he upgraded to something like cargo shorts. He was reluctant, but I got him to agree that no more denim shorts would be brought into the house. It's only taken 7+ yrs, but he's finally willing to let go of them. It helps that I pointed out that our friend who wears nothing but shorts year-round doesn't even wear jean shorts... I think that finally did the trick!

    By the time he needs new shorts (either for the Jan cruise or next spring), he should be down a size or two. :D

    Next: get him some gym appropriate clothing. Working out in said jorts is not ok.
