Reddit mentions: The best casual

I'm brand new here so what the hell do I know, but here's my suggestion for a basic kind of outfit that won't be a massive leap into anything crazy. First of all, while you probably won't need them during the summer, get a couple pairs of good skinny jeans, something like these maybe. Dark blue is super classic and seemingly never goes out of style.

Now, for summer, I would get a pair of tan/white-ish shorts. You can wear basically anything with them, so it's a good basic to have when you're still figuring out what goes with what. I like to find a comfortable brand and get a couple different colors of the same short. Here's an example from Amazon with multiple colors. Then find a top you like. Just go explore. Best advice my friend ever gave me was to go try on something that I thought looked cute/cool, but would "never wear". Once you see it actually on you, you might be surprised how much you like it. That being said, however, it never hurts to just have a few basic shirts in your collection, like these, for example.

So, for example: This shirt and these shorts.

Also, read this about matching colors, because it is incredibly helpful.

so glad /u/UpsidedownTreetrunk got the image working, I think I can help!

I also saw some very similar shorts at target this spring but I couldn't find them online, you might have better luck in stores? hope that helps!

Welcome to the crew!

I have always been self conscious about my legs and so I dont wear shorts, but I love this and would love to try them.

Thank you for the contest!

Oh my gosh, I can answer this! I bought these in February and only just now started wearing them to work out (winter just continues to hold on!). They stay in place and aren’t too long to look awkward. They’re comfortable and have great coverage. I got the grey but will buy the rest on my next paycheck. I just wish they had brighter colors.

As a girl I’d probably just look at guys shorts since there’s a lot more to choose from. There are some cute cargo camo ones that are shorter and more form fitting.

Goth related puns might be a grave mistake! You could laugh so hard, you'll start coffin up a lung! 🤣

Summertime can't come soon enough for me. Have fun shopping.

I couldn't find anything short enough (and non-shiny/denim) on Amazon, so I just ordered from discountdance.com. they've got some neat things for around $10 a pop.

Edit: Plus, right now theyve got a special running for first order $5 off :) (WELCOME5)


Edit2: i was going to order these from amazon but a lot of the reviews say its not good for workouts since its not very sweat absorbent and it rides up. It's an option to look at, but i wound up not buying it.

These are my go-to. Suuuuper soft, not constricting, appropriate length and lots of colors and patterns.

Did you search "ruffled drawstring shorts". A few results pop up. They're not all the same color, but same type

Something like these. High enough to suck in my belly but not high-waisted, and long enough to prevent thigh chafe.

Maybe the old larger ones didn't seem to help because you were already so bruised?? I would suggest wearing skirts for a few days to give yourself a break and then trying linen or other softer materials in shorts. I have some Lucky Brand shorts that are quite comfy.

Thank you! If you see something like them even in another color, let me know. Even if it is months from now. The waistband only goes just around my belly button (I think just below actually). I don't like things around my waist or neck, makes me feel like I am being strangled. I always wear extra long tshirts or tshirt dresses so it works out ok.

I just measured them. From the seam at the crotch to the top of the waistband is 7 inches. Then from the crotch to the bottom of the shorts is 14 inches. They are long, really hit the top of my knees. I wouldn't mind a little shorter.

I looked for drawstring Bermuda pants online and that is the style I like. I don't see those in stores. Why not?

I like these but the color is a little loud. Too bad they aren't a more earth tone like taupe, grey, black or whatever. Just not bright red. That wouldn't go with anything. I guess I could overdye them with tea or something.

I like these but $40 is way too much to spend on a pair of shorts.

Um, what the bleep did I just find online? Just what the hell is wrong with people? Just what the what? Some guy would breed with the creature wearing these and then its the teacher's fault when the resulting spawn can't do math. There's 171 reviews. Each one of them is an argument against Bernie Sanders' free college idea. I don't even want to pay for these hoochies' kids' free lunches. These shorts should come with a sterilization program. Then afterwards they can clip their ear and release these bitches back into the wild.
