This is a little harsh, but I generally agree. Even if you look great, at a certain age it looks a little desperate walking around in coochie cutters. As I have gotten older, I've wanted to look a bit more sophisticated and put together (I am 35) so something like shredded denim hot pants isn't really part of that look no matter how great my legs look. Leave if for the young girls or the beach, if you must.

Wow. I bet the first woman commenting is more like 50+ and you agree with her at 35. Surely you don’t have gray hair and crepey skin and age spots at 35?

No, I don't have any of those things and am thin without cellulite, so I wear 3-4in shorts. I don't wear things like this and think there is definitely an age cutoff where it starts looking inappropriate.

You know nobody is talking about shorts like that when we say short shorts.

My caveat- I wear clothes appropriate for the occasion. I’m not shopping at the mall in short shorts. I’m not going to restaurants in short shorts. But for an outdoor cookout? A hike? A walk in my neighborhood? A quick trip to the grocery store? You might be subject to my not-so-perfect 54 year old legs. I apologize in advance. 😂

What are we talking about? I’m 50 and athletic and have a few pairs of 4 inch denim shorts from Madewell and Agolde. I like them for very casual outings.

A modern cut, not shorts from Hollister 2001 that we’re designed to show a thong. Something like this:

I'm 36 and I wear jeans this length all the time in summer. I look and feel good in them, didn't know they are forbidden for certain age...

It’s not forbidden. It just doesn’t look good. If you don’t care about that, go right on ahead.

Funny how the less attractive women love to criticize their attractive peers. Obviously someone who can wear 2-inch shorts have nice legs. Just admit you are jealous, LOL

If you're thin and don't have cellulite, wrinkles, or varicose veins on your legs then it there's no reason why it wouldn't look good indefinitely until you start to have one of the aforementioned problems

If you truly look good in them, you can wear them.

I’m 50 and I have a pair like this by Agolde. I wore them to walk the dog with DH and I asked him if he could see my butt cheeks. He said no but they look good on me. I like them too.

How old are you? I have something similar and feel like they look good on me and I’m 50.

If you have the legs for them, they're hot at any age. Trashy looking, but but MILFs gotta MILF or GILF so get it! Not all of us want to look like we are bartenders in Tampa, but as long as you have the body for it, there is really no age limit.

I think if you look good/no crepe/no sag/no cellulite, go for it no matter the age- and if you are doing at at 70 with some of the above, good for you, too. I don't want to do it but if my parts look good enough for 'that age' I might start wearing booty shorts again.

-flat abs/not toned legs crew here.
