I Like Short Shorts

@JulesJohnson Actually no, I preferred to wear shorts. Indeed sometimes my mother told me I should wear my jeans. As I liked shorts I just wore them. I still prefer shorts. Indeed at the age of 58 to this day have not worn a single pair of long trousers for about 3 months since I retired. Hope to stay in shorts right through the winter. Just far more comfortable.

@JulesJohnson Well when I grew up I wore both styles of shorts. As I insisted on wearing shorts my mother said well for posh does, going out for meals etc I want you to look smart so you can wear neat grey flannel school shorts. So I did. It was no problem for me, I wore grey shorts, white shirt and sometimes a tie and a jacket worn with long grey or white socks and start rite sandals or black lace up shoes. People used to think I was very smart.

@JulesJohnson I must admit that my grey shorts did look good on me. They were always nicely pressed and fitted perfectly and were the correct length. It was the 1970's so they had an inside leg of no more than an inch.

I was also lucky in that I was athletic so had good looking legs or so I was told and smart grey shorts really showed them off.

p.s I am now 58 and still look fine in shorts (I run and practice a lot of Yoga etc)
