Short Shorts for Winter

[missbliss]

Oh & just to clarify, I think it's a bit more practical to wear them in the fall as oppossed to the dead of winter. Just like people are wearing sweater dresses & mini dresses, those are two huge trends this fall/winter season. They both expose your legs & most find the solution for that is to wear thick tights. Some people aren't even bothering putting pants on & just walk out with thick leggings etc. so that I would have to say would be clasified as insanity.

Yeah, here I would catch pneumonia if I wore shorts any later than september

This is a huge trend at my school...
..I tried it last week....
navy shorts, green/blue opaque tights, bright aqua shirt, cdg-esque boots...
...'twas pretty cool...

Short shorts in the winter? I think of only one place where this is possible (and I mean no disrespect)- Japan. Some Japanese ladies were brave enough to wear short shorts in wintry temperatures.

OMFG! This just brought back all the memories of my childhood spent in Japan. The Japanese people there are CRAZY! I had uniforms in kindergarten, and we had to wear shorts ALL SEASON LONG. Yes, even when it was snowing outside. And Tokyo's (where i lived) temperature in the winter is not far off from where i live now (southern canada). To top it off, we were only allowed a thin fleece jacket in the winter. I think my immunity was really good back then though - i don't remember getting sick that much.

Could anyone suggest, what would be the best type of boots to where with this look?
Thanks!!

I really like this look, if done right. IMO it can look really cute. Maybe I'll try this in the fall when I find myself a cute, tailored pair of short shorts that don't look like they belong in a Guess? ad.

I wear shorts when it's cold out and I live in Scotland As long as you wear boots and thick tights it's cosy. I find it more comfy even than jeans if you're going out to eat or to a pub cos you're sitting down for so long. Mind you, I wouldn't really wear it day to day, only if I'm doing something a bit different..

I like to wear short shorts in the winter, it's not really that much colder than jeans as long as I use warm, thick tights made of wool. Love the look!

I do wear short tailored shorts.. I'm in SoCal so the weather allows me to get away with it.
But I still put on tights and pair the shorts with flat boots..just think that baring your thighs looks strange in winter!

ehh I don't know. I'm on the fence about this. I've seen it styles well really less than a handful of times. People were wearing this look last winter as well. To be honest, for the most part it makes me think of the 80's when I used to do this to imitate my cousin who i thought was so cool.

It's very plain here,lots of girls wear short shorts and havaianas with leather jacket or other tipe of outerwear,but who wear that are not fashionistas but people who just want to be comfortable and show their legs!I find that hideous btw!

i wore this look for a little while now.
mainly because i wanted a thin len silouette with my chunky winter boots, but was tired of skinnies. i like it the more i wear them!

A friend of mine has been running around in shorts and leggings w/ her flat boots. Im like...You look CRAZY, it's 50 degrees out and you're wearing tweed shorts!

I guess she's not so crazy now...
