The dressier / more formal the short, the more fashionable in my opinion because you've got that element of the unexpected. And a fit that stays in place with movement is extremely important with any short, as that pesky ride-up can make even the trendiest pair look very dorky very quickly.

Daisy Dukes are denim diapers. When I see someone in them the word that comes to mind is unhygienic. I'm not saying they are necessarily unhygienic (though they very well could be) I'm just saying that's what I think when I see true daisy dukes. Yuck.

Again, I don't see where modesty or sexual repression need enter the conversation. It's a fashion issue.

It really does depend on your body. Age, not so much.

For example, Jessica Simpson actually played Daisy Duke in a movie and she looked okay in the Daisy Dukes (I thought she was too skinny though), but now, at age 32, NO ONE wants to see her put on a pair. It would probably be vomit worthy to see her giant joppa and elephant sized thighs squeezing out of them.

It really is all about size, fitness, and tone.

Some shortish shorts are totally appropriate for a wide range of ages like so

Some shorts are really appropriate never except maybe at the beach when you're a teenager and don't know any better.

I would hope most women have the good sense to dress appropriately but sadly age does not always bring wisdom.

Ive checked the Daisy Dukes laws and it reads as follows:

20 year old 5' 4" tall, 125 pounds - Approved for Daisy Dukes
55 year old 5' 4" tall, 125 pounds - NOT approved for Daisy Dukes
28 year old 5' 2" tall, 120 pounds, Approved for Daisy Dukes
28 year old 5' 2" tall, 165 pounds, NOT approved
30 year old 5' 6" tall, 140 pounds, Approved if no cellulite
30 year old 5' 6" tall, 140 pounds, NOT approved if flabby, saggy and cellulite is present
Any age between 18-40, any height from 5' to 6', Approved if athletic and/or normal healthy weight, with no cellulite, but must be toned/fit from constant exercise.
Overweight, or obese - NOT approved
Usually, if you are a woman who is heavier than 165 pounds, you are NOT approved to wear daisy dukes. Exceptions are made for 5' 11" plus athletic beach vollyball women like Gabriele Reece or any of these 160 plus pounder Olympic Volleyball players:

Considering about 80% of women have cellulite. Including models. You really aren't leaving many people to wear them.


I am on my phone, please forgive the typos.

Yeah, 80% where YOU live, but where I live I RARELY see women with visible cellulite.

I don't mind some. I never see many wear stuff they shouldn't either. Most have good judgement. If it's too much, it's too much. Age has little to do with it. Lots of 40+ are still on fire.

The only people who think otherwise are damn kids.

You can wear them as long as you want to attract the type of guy that dates a woman who wears daisy dukes. That kind of advertising is a double-edged sword. There's always someone with shorter shorts and a better ass. I'll leave you 'gals' to all that.

Some short shorts can be styled tastefully .

Again, it's all about who you want to attract.

Age has nothing to do with it...I have seen 12 years olds that SHOULD NOT be wearing shorts and I am thinking what are their mother's thinking!!! These poor girls are open to ridicule and bullying...just so sad.
