The Un-Shorts




An interesting trend (well, to me anyway) is the not-quite-a-pair-of-shorts shorts.

It's like the designers don't want to admit they're making what is traditionally knock-around-on-the-weekends attire. Although shorts do have a growing acceptance as casual business attire and going-out wear.

Alexander Wang had his apron shorts. Now there are these. They're not perfect — check out that price, nearly $1,000. Woof. Plus, the angled cut gives 'em a wedgie look. Not attractive.

Still, I like the idea. Just several hundred dollars cheaper and with an even hemline, and I'd be sold. This is where knowing how to really sew would come in handy.

Wow, that really is a wedgie look---not at all attractive.
