    Yeah, they don’t work for everyone … lots of other shorts combos make me look frumpy though, lol.

    For you, how about Capri pants in linen?

    If you don’t want short shorts or to look like a youth leader, then maybe lycra shorts would work. I have to be careful picking them though, because of camel toe issues :-/

      Love those ideas! Lycra shorts + old band tees/tanks are great when I go jogging.

      Thinking about what works with my linen and hiking shorts, I think it’s the high waist and the wide leg so it’s still leggy (but like 75% leg instead of 90%), but creates an hourglass shape around the hips.

      Cutoffs tend to be really form-fitting, so maybe I need to find a pair of denim shorts with a wide leg. Maybe I’ll still look like a camp counselor after that, but screw it. Goth camp counselor. 🐈‍⬛ ⛺
