Is This Modest
MInTheGap: There’s nothing cooler than wearing white, and keeping a shirt untucked allows for better airflow. That being said, a lot of shirts are short, and this one looks like it would show her midriff if she were standing. I like the material of these shorts– baggy is better both for airflow as well as for modesty– and I think they’d be a tad longer if she weren’t trying to show off her legs here. So, not a bad outfit, but the pose could be more modest.
Foy: You’re right – white is the best color to wear in warm weather, as it reflects the light and keeps you cool. But you have to be very, very careful, because as I have said before, white is quite see-through, this shirt especially. It’s also a bit tight. The shorts are tough. That material looks a little too thin – they give it a look of “they might just fly up in the wind”. A little bit longer, and a little bit thicker. But keep them loose to help with the airflow.
Your turn…

That’s a skirt. =/
I think you’re right… looking at the way the fabric falls down, it looks like it isn’t a pair of shorts.
That, the beaded drawstring, and the gathering seams. Even if you did see that material on a pair of shorts, you wouldn’t see those. Also:

Well, a skirt would be a whole different ball game. I’ve only ever seen a draw string on shorts, not on a skirt, hence why I started that discussion.
If it’s a skirt, it’s definitely too short.
I think that even if it’s shorts, since they’re so loose, they should be as long as a skirt should.

Assuming we’re talking about loose shorts (which, I guess have been proven to actually be a skirt), I would not say they’re not that modest. Just like a skirt, if you’re not careful how you move or sit, someone could see right up the wide leg hole. But because they’re shorts, a girl would probably be more likely to wear them shorter than she would a skirt.
Why are the standards for shorts any different than those for skirts? I only wear knee length skirts, so why wouldn’t I stick to bermuda shorts??

Right on! I so agree!!
I’ve wondered about that– especially when it comes to skorts– and my guess is that because there’s a definition when it comes to the leg, and the “opportunity” to view a ladies’ undies is reduced.
I actually think short shorts are LESS modest than short skirts because you see so much bare leg and what isn’t showing is still defined. A much smaller area to ‘fill in the blanks’ with. A mid-thigh dress in my opinion is more modest than mid-thigh shorts. Not that I consider a mid-thigh dress modest, lol.

Depends on how tight the short shorts are, I guess. For me, seeing that there’s no line makes it more seductive– or like my brain “How in the world can she bend over to pick something up?” I don’t have that problem with shorts.
Where would you draw the line with skirt length and short length– same place? Different? How far above the knee?
I see what you mean.
I draw the line for both at just above the knee. Not inches above it, but where the hem comes to the top of the knee, basically.
I’ll be honest though- I do allow flexibility within that. I do wear swimsuits which obviously show the thigh and I wear shorter shorts when hiking or doing other ‘active’ activities mostly to avoid overheating and allow for greater movement.
For everyday, public wear though I go with the knee-length standard.
