I am very critical of myself, and know when something DOESNT look good on me. Even if its stylish, I wont wear it if I feel I look foolish, or it just doesnt suit me.... I will always try to present the "best" me that I can..... Even at 70, my legs are great so I can pull off shorter shorts, but not sure they are appropriate ? My mirror is my Friend !
Proviso: I will never give up my "brief/speedo" style swimsuit for boardshorts, simply because I HATE the farmers tan look......
