High waist makes this trend look more demure, like you're wearing more fabrics.... 
I see this trend having trouble translating to the mainstream since it seems to strictly work on extremely sculpted mile long model legs.

Right...I guess it's better to go for short shorts then!Good point... And since it is already really short when standing, imagine when you're sitting!!!!

ahhaha so true about the seats thing! I love the helmut lang stuff. I think when it comes to the short stuff you really need to do it simple sometimes, otherwise it looks too tacky
I am definitely going to invest in some slightly above the waist classic cut, rolled up shorts. I think adding a leather belt gives it a more elegant twist since you can easily end up looking too overly "in your face sexy".
And since it's only simple shorts, it's not going to cost an arm and a leg. Definitely heading to Club Monaco for the classic cuts and style. And since it' s been around for a few seasons now, like Meg said, it always comes back around the summer time so it's not wasted money.

I wore a dress very similar to the 1st dress to my prom.

I like this look...I need all I can get to make my legs seem longer!
She's lovely Ale, and wearing the trend so refreshingly different that the others that are..shall we say more professionally styled and lacking a certain Je ne sais quoi..
I was so enticed by her I had to see more.. which was when I noticed.. you must have misspelled the source.. please post the proper credit
She's got legs, she knows how to use them
She never begs, she knows how to choose them
She only lets you wonder how to feel them
Would you get behind them if you could only find them
She's my baby, she's my baby
Yeah, it's all right
She's got hair down to her fanny
She's got a dress slit right up to her panties
Every time she's dancin' she knows what to do
Everybody wants to see, see if she can use it
She's so fine, she's all mine
Girl, you got it right
She's got legs, she knows how to use them
She never begs, she knows how to choose them
She's got a dime all of the time
Stays out at night movin' through time
Oh, I want her, said I got to have her
The girl is all right, she's all right

I've always thought that these tailored short shorts (in reference to Posts #20 and the first picture in Post #24) were classy shorts for ladies to wear. I've seen certain short shorts in pictures of certain ladies who went to the nightclub wearing such shorts. You can't get away with wearing these at the office, but as classy as these shorts can look, it almost seems like you SHOULD get away with wearing pants like these. My favorite of the three pictures I referenced to is the lady in the orange-yellow and white striped tank top with wedge sandals (Post #20, second picture). I'd really like to see a lady try to go for a professional suit outfit, only wearing one of those tailored short-shorts instead of traditional career wear pants or skirts.
Now on to dresses. I like the Anne Valerie Hash dress in Post #6. And even though they aren't very stylish nowadays, I still love those puffy sleeves like what the dress has. The pale yellow or champagne color with the top part of the dress offsetting the bright colors is very nice. I probably would have liked a magenta or Midnight Blue color for that part of the dress. Otherwise, still lovely.
If this trend is popular among ladies 21 and younger, I wonder if this will re-ignite the "ladies shouldn't be wearing skirts/shorts this short" rant. Heck, I've been wanting to see the "bare your legs" deal even as skirts were being ruined with leggings (I've gradually eased up on this trend over time). The traditional "if you got it... flaunt it" statement applies. Nothing like baring your legs wearing such clothing in the Spring and Summer. I'd probably go with those short-shorts if I were a lady. I would mostly wear longer garments anyways. It could range from the most basic of jeans to floor-length skirts if I were a lady.
Lots of possibilities. No way to do this trend wrong.
