I had to stand up to see where this actually falls on me (I'm also 34 so its been a while!) I'm tall so have really long arms and legs and I was surprised to find out that my fingertip length would be maybe a 2-3" inseam at most, basically ruling out the 1-2 inch inseam.

I'm not tall, and I don't have long arms or legs, and my fingertip length is a 4" inseam.[/quote]

I'm actually in a pair of shorts right now.  I'm about to wear them to a Dr appt and I guarantee no one who saw me in them would think they were 'sexy' or 'short'. In fact your teenagers wouldn't be caught dead in them because they are Mom shorts. I would (and have) worn these shorts to my kid's school that has a dress uniform and felt completely appropriate in them.  I wouldn't wear them to an office job (they're jean shorts), but would wear dresses this length and would certainly wear them to work if I were a preschool teacher.

They have a 4.5" inseam and come to my knuckles. Fingertip length only if my hands are cupped. [/quote]

I'm the original tall poster and this kind of proves my point that middle ground, murky dress codes are just kind of stupid and open to too much interpretation. Finger tip length is kind of BS. (Guess I am even leggier than "armier" than I thought too!) It means different things on different people. I have shorts that are 2-3 inch inseams that are definitely NOT booty shorts and definitely no one would think so, but I also couldn't wear a dress that length because it would be way too short. So its all just kind of grey area crap that is 100% aimed at policing women's bodies more than men's.

I'm not anti- dress code. I just think it should be really narrow (more like uniform guidelines) or not because otherwise you get into these ridiculous grey areas![/quote]
