Subject: Where to buy modest shorts?
My non-girly 12 year old DD found the perfect shorts . . . in the boys department (RL Chaps). She wanted khaki/chino type but those in the girls department/juniors were all cut so strangely. She wears a size smaller in boys. She liked their t-shirts better, too!

For a 13 year old? No where. For a 43 year old? See the links that people are posting above!

I just got these at Anthropologie:
4'' inseam/3 colors - http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/clothes-shorts-casual/38679403.jsp#/
4'' or shorter if you roll them -

Slutty
ITA. My 8-year old didn't want to wear a certain pair of shorts (which were not that short, btw) to school recently because one of her classmates talks down to girls who wear short shorts. Clearly this is learned behavior. If parents don't want to let their girls wear short shorts, fine. But don't tell your kids that girls who wear them are sluts to make it easier for you to enforce your house rules. Instead, explain to your daughter why you don't want her wearing those shorts, which may make you reflect on your biased/stereotypical attitude.
Seriously. Just don't use that term to describe clothing choices (or people, or anything for that matter). It is based on a sexist double-standard and does nothing but reinforce the idea that women who express their sexuality do not deserve respect.
Or that 8 year old bodies are sexual and should be covered at all...
