Shorts... help!

I'm looking for a pair of shorts, y'know, the tailored kind, to wear on Saturday night. They have to be black, pretty smart, and to just above the knee if possible. WITH NO POCKETS!
I found some in Dotty P but they had pockets and that upsets me.
Can anyone help?!

I haven't actually seen long shorts around I don't think, but maybe thats 'cos I'm not looking.
Get shorter ones :flirt:
I want to wear them with tights and my gorgeous leopard-print super-high heels... I'm being so precise because that's what girls are like.
Other ones I saw on our crazed shorts shopping hunt were in Topshop (very plain, very fitted pair with a white lining and also a silky pair with a fairly simple but ruched waistband AND a cotton/wool mix pair which were gorgeous and I was tempted by myself but they didn't have my size :grump:), Miss Selfridge (mid-thigh length black shorts with a fairly subtle lurex stripe, mid-thigh with turn ups a bit like the NL ones but much more expensive) and in all the other usual suspects too. The city/tailored shorts look is huge at the minute it seems, most of the fashion shops have them in but they're usually quite well-hidden for some reason, at least that's what I thought as it was like mission impossible finding them.
I'd say hit New Look first though, they had quite a selection... even in our (fairly crapalicious) branch :thumb:
I saw the ones in Miss Selfridge that you're talking about, they would have been perfect but they had them in size 10 only... there's not a chance I'd get them over one thigh! Haha - I'll try New Look tomorrow.
You're a star!
Zara also have a pair which are mid-thigh so maybe a wee bit shorter than you want, but they are a silky-cotton mix so fairly dressy and they look like they'd be flattering as from what I could tell the pockets were sewn down (v. important). They had more plain knee-lengthish ones but I reckon they had pockets with a button detail.
I am such a shorts expert at the moment it is unbelievable. It's lucky I went on a four-hour short hunt the other day eh
But yes, H&M have some. Just to confirm..and stuff.. :yeees:
Yes, my knowledge of black shorts on the high street is pretty formidable innit :razz:
I'll get some tomorrow, I'm going to Manchester after work (Friday afternoon, I clearly have no brain) and I'll make sure I get some. Maybe I'll treat the Pictures thread to a snap or two after Saturday night!!
I was about to mention these I have them, they're dead nice.
Thanks briggi and co x
we want to see pictures. :yes:
