This young lady looks almost provocative with her tailored jacket and long, summer legs. However, under that jacket, she was wearing the same jean shorts that all the other young ladies are wearing this time of year. From the front she would seem unremarkable, but from the back it’s a whole different story.

Understood. I have worn several "tunic" length tops and jackets lately that both hit nearly the bottom of my shorts. I have often wondered if this is proper or tacky looking. But then I think, "Its summer and 110 degrees outside, one must do what one must do". I think this young lady looks great, the shoes speak volumes. They tell you, when she turns around she's going to look just great. I looks forward to the weather cooling down and being able to wear a blazer. Wow, what a wonderful thought!

this would look better with heels. It would elongate her already beautiful legs and add to the proportion of the jacket.

No, it would then be simple and tacky. The reason it works is that she isn’t trying to show off her legs, she just is. Shorts with heels is almost always a bad idea. But especially here it would ruin everything. But of course some men simply like things like that, because oits more “sexy” which trumps style to them.
This way is perfect.

August 30, 2010 at 9:20 pm
I believe he makes an interesting point. I would walk up behind her and say wow, that girl could probably use a some more clothes, and yet as she turns around i would've realized she has shorts on and i wear the same kind of shorts sometimes. Should women not wear shorts this short or just not jackets that long at the same time? The photo is also interesting because of the use of color and angle. The eye level is shorter so she has to have been standing there for a decent amount of time for the picture to have been shot at a low angle, which sparks the question for me, what's she looking at? Are the people across the street looking at the same thing?

She's touring the facility
And picking up slack
I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnng jacket……

Ok, I can’t wait to wear this. Absolutely perfect idea. The heels would totally ruin it. Then it loses all meaning, because jean shorts and heels are tacky together. in fact heels look tacky a lot more often then people think. They look amazing with short dresses as long as the person wearing them doesn’t wear much make up, so you keep the summer image. They also look great with wide pants, but I can not think of any reason other then that to wear high heels. Men always say they wish a woman like that would wear heels. But if she did you would see how it just ruins things. Heels never really flatter legs unless they are with pants, and they make them look bulky. Also, they look like someone is trying very hard. With flatts any look is casual. She looks perfectly perfect like that.
