After catching up with friends at the pub, it’s been a night of washing, dry and packing clothing for my trip to Sweden. I leave tomorrow night at eight o’clock.
The big dilemma? The denim shorts my niece gave me for Christmas. Should I pack them? On the one hand, denim shorts can be quite practical. They can be hard wearing. You can wear them a few times without need for washing. And they don’t need ironing.
But fashion wise? Do they look okay? So I took a photo, uploaded it to Facebook, Twitter and Google+ and asked my peeps. Here’s the definitive answer on denim shorts in 2011…
Denim shorts …… are we talking YMCA style denim shorts…..

Add YoursIn all fairness how can we vote accurately unless you provide a LEG REVEALING pic for us to pass judgement? From the pic above…can’t even tell those are shorts…
denim shorts are handy&hardy accessories for travelling particularly if you find yourself sitting or rubbing against scratchy harsh hole making surfaces…okay I don’t want to think about it…
Yes. Post a proper before and after picture (i.e. with shorts and without shorts) and we’ll tell you what looks better!
Hope you have a fantastic trip, looking forward to lots of tweets/blog updates!
Can’t offer an opinion without seeing the legs.

Travel safely and have a wonderful time, James. I look forward to the next instalment of Swedish posts.
Legs, legs, what’s with the legs? I’ll post some leg shots over the next week, undoubtedly. I have to say though, I’ve seen quite a few Swedes wearing denim shorts since arriving.
First time reader and thus first time poster. Quite curious as to where you got the bulk of responses from? Twiiter, G+ or FB?
Mostly Twitter.
