You said: Bring em on!  A whopping 77% of you are loving this warm-weather favorite.  Not since we asked about Nautical fashion did we see such an overwhelming vote of approval.  Only 11% believe shorts are out, and only 12% think they’re on the way out. Omiru’s take: We’ve been loving the variety of silhouettes out there–from the short shorts to the more forgiving knee-length styles.  A few figure flattery tips from us to you:Long waisted (e.g. short legs): Try shorter length shorts to give your legs as much length as possible.  On a casual day, pair these shorts with a pair of wedge sandals.Short-waisted (e.g. long legs): Look for low-rise styles that give you the appearance of a longer torso.Petite: Your best bet is a long short (ha) that hits you right above your knee.  Look for shorts with a slim fit–avoid wide legged styles.  Full Derrière: Styles with medium sized back pockets minimize the size of your rear.  Try pairing a dark colored short with a lighter colored and/or patterned top for best results! Next Question: We’re (still) seeing those Victorian-inspired high-necked blouses everywhere.  Tell us, what do you think about Victorian-inspired blouses?  Are they In, or are they Out?  Cast your vote on the sidebar!
