Because I totally would.
I know, they seem a bit silly. But hear me out.
I'm short. The dresses in my closet - and my closet's pretty much only dresses - are very short because I'm under the impression that the shorter the dress the longer my legs look. And this works fine in the winter because I can wear really opaque tights and flats.
But my spring and summer dresses have to be longer for decency's sake, and because I tend to wear giant platforms when it's warm. But if I had bloomers! Oh the short dresses I could wear with bloomers!
As Brett pointed out, "They look like Steven Alan underwear," which is so true, so cute, and so much more reasonable than Miu Miu's.
So if you see me walking down the street this summer, in what you think is my underwear and a really long top, it's actually my favorite pair of bloomers and a recently hemmed dress.
But would you wear them? Or do you think they're the silliest trend since fake glasses?

The people that I know who wear them are all short.
They'd be useful on my side of the height spectrum, though, since the overwhelming majority of mass-market "short" dresses barely cover my ass.
