I find anything above the knees makes my legs look dreadful and capri's make my legs look short. All the mums on the playground wear them and look fab I'd love to joing them - any suggestions please? Why don't they suit me? On an alternative note - I've finally acquired a crisp white shirt - bought 2nd from ebay after quite a search - fitted with a formal cuffed sleeve - its nice too :-) I should love a pair of shorts or capri’s that I look good in – I am a pear shape with heavy legs, dreadful knees 5’9″ but possibly a bit overwieght (not excessively so).

However, I recently attend a "CABI" home show and found what I've been looking for. The front and sleeves are crisp but the sides and back are knit. It fits wonderfully and can be worn alone or under a jacket with no bulkiness. The price was approx. $85. Libby Kristine,

I do have two lengths of jeans, one for heels, one for flats, but I can also flip up the (very) wide hem of the longer pair to create a cuff and wear them with flats. Thanks for the note! -Diana Hi Debbie,

If you don't like the way shorts look on you, then by all means, opt for Capris. I know a lot of women who prefer longer lengths because they don't like how they look in shorts. Do what makes the most sense for you. -Diana Hi Cheryl,

If you don't, then don't worry about it. Spend your money on the clothes you wear the most. -Diana Hi Bolatito,

I agree except for one thing- I just can't stand the look of walking shorts on me. I own them, but never end up wearing them- I tend to have a 'formal' looking build, and they just look too sporty. I've substituted a pair of black cotton flood pants, which look casual but not suggestive of sport, and can be worn with sandals or tennis shoes. Any other alternatives? Great list!
