I wear capris (a term which I often forget and call them clam diggers and/or pedal pushers - proving my ever advancing age, lol) all summer. I am short and fat, and no doubt look shorter and fatter in them. And I don't care. Because, HOT. I won't wear shorts in public, because they don't protect my legs from whatever I sit on. AND they look worse than capris. If I could find some inexpensive thin, cool, knit or woven cotton or linen pants with an elastic waist and pockets, I might stick with long pants, but until then - capris it is! I won't wear skirts or dresses on general principal. So I say be comfy and looks be damned!![]()
