Shorts for S/S 06

[softgrey]

I am looking for some shorts...
i like the ones on the dries spring runway..
but i think it is silly to spend $300 on shorts...

has anyone seen any good ones they can recommend?...
i checked old navy...but no go...

has anyone else gotten any recently?..
thanks...

what about johnson? Though I don't know if you're a fan of the label and i think they are around the $250 mark anyway. All I can say is I got a great pair from gap last year. they were short shorts but not like just under my bum short. Had pleats as well which made them slightly slouchy. As for right now....aren't they everywhere? What about topshop? Hollister? Forever21?

I bought some shorts the other week. Theyre tailored short shorts in charcoal with mixed subtle pinstripes. They were a bargain at just £3! i dont care if they dont last very long, i couldnt turn down that bargain!

I think A.P.C. do some decent priced shorts. Can only recommend UK high street ones......they're EVERYWHERE here.....

haha thus far it's only those of us in london that have responded, which only reinforces what you said susie....they're all around us......

I like these from H&M. I don't think they look like the Dries shorts if I remember the collection correctly but I was browsing and saw them so thought I'd post them.

thanks everyone...

i guess i am just very particular about what i am looking for...
i checked apc already....didn't like the fit-
checked old navy-too long...
nothing at forever 21-got somme good tops though
we don't have hollister or topshop...

i think i found some at urban outfitters that i like...
also have gap and jcrew on my list to check...

^ Good list There are some in the jcrew catalog with wide legs & pockets in the front that kind of mimic the volume of the Dries... though not the same of course

[Curious]

^ Yes, but this thread is dedicated to SHOPPING for shorts Two different topics...

soft, next time you are in NYC, chech out seven's selection of Preen shorts. They can be hard to pull off, as the shapes are sometimes a bit odd, but they are so beautiful. The are about 300 USD, but worth it.

I found a TON of adorable shorts at Forever 21 for less than $20! They had pleated cuffed short shorts, and longer bermuda shorts. All in a great menswear plaid print.

go to the boys department! i work at a childrens clothing store and i helped my friend pick out the cutest shorts! they sit kind of high on her waist and they go to right above the knee so she cuffs them and they are adorable!! they look so stylish but since they are just classic childrens wear they are inexpensive.

300 for such a little piece of cloth.... even jeans sound expensive to me in 300.... but of course if you have a lot of $...
