Delightful Dittos

denimdittoshorts.jpgSpring is finally here!
Well, at least according to the calendar if not the thermometer. Of course we’re one step ahead – already stocked up on sandals, a spring jacket and florals that we can’t wait to wear. But we’ve stopped short of shorts.
First of all, we’re still ghastly white. Secondly, shorts are hard to wear. They have to fit perfectly – long enough to be comfortable but short enough to be flattering. They need, for our purposes, to be at least semi-chic and fashionable but still doable on a daily basis.
So it’s a good thing we just came across the Taxi Short by Ditto.
They’re the perfect blue. They’re high waisted enough for tucking in shirts without looking costume-y. The inseam appears to be the perfect length and the belt loops look just big enough for our favorite woven brown belt.
So now that we have the clothes, we could really use some sunshine.

Also a perfect short are the J Brand Cuff short. I caught them on sale in November ($70) and can’t wait to wear them regularly. Perfect length and love the darker wash of them.

One look at those shorts and all I could think was “Where is my butt going to go?”
Looks like one more year of linen pants and A-line skirts…

Am I the only person in the world who thinks that adults should not be wearing shorts unless they are excercising or at the beach?

guest at 12, come live in 95 degree weather with 90% humidity. Shorts in summer are a must for me.

camel toe is NOT allowed for a fashionista! This pair is over-rated.

I started getting cellulite as a young teenager, despite being a middle-and-high school runner. no shorts for me, ever again… it makes me so sad.

I totally relate to Guest 2:29. My cellulite started around 6th grade, even though my nickname was stick. Completely hereditary and has gotten increasingly worse over the years. Now I am 32 and it has me in shame spiral every summer, even though i am still very thin (under 110-high metabolism). I did cross-country for years, do sports, yoga, pilates, eat well and still it’s there… no shorts for me.
I do admire those girls who will rock the short shorts regardless. In the days I feel brave and water-bloat is low (I think it makes a difference), I notice boys looking… Maybe this year I’ll just say F*ck it and get some AA booty shorts

I think the length of this short shouldn’t be worn in a jean style or without some time of “tights” unless the women is of a certain age. I’m 31 and I have great legs ( I’m a runner) but I wouldn’t be caught dead in this summer of love/childrens shorts…sorry.

Fashionista…if you opened an LA office you could be wearing these shorts right now!

I would look like an egg in those. I love Dittos. . . but I’m passing on this one.

Men want to see you in shorts. They don’t care about cellulite. All women have some cellulite!
However those shorts? They’re a one-way ticket to flat ass.
