Very fab demonstration of healthy self esteem. What I’ve learned from this is is to question the cut and style of the clothes and not to blame my own body for not making them “work”.
This is the funniest video I've seen in ages!!! You have perfectly captured that bewildered feeling we get when we try on clothes we thought we would like, only to find ourselves wondering who on earth they were designed for!
Lol, I can definitely relate! That's pretty much the conversation I have with myself in my head when trying on shorts and doing all the bending in the changing room.
You’re a rare one, Ruth!!! And I love you for it! Others would wear those and not care-but there’s something about modesty that should still be relevant!
I laughed so hard at your demonstration "Can't get your keys!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love it! Also, the dress looked amazing on you!!! I really liked it, but those shorts... Definitely not designed for people 😅
You are hilarious! I got myself ones from target. Mom shorts. They call a lot of things “mom” now. Great shorts. Not too short, high waisted and comfortable which is hard for denim to be. Oh, at the pull on from Walmart are magic! Not denim, come in different colors. You guys have to try those!
I pull the 'struggling to do up shorts' face, and also do the dance of the wriggling worm having a seizure, trying to convince myself that I can squeeze into them. Such a fun - and in point - vid
That might have been a total waste of your time but anything that makes me laugh this much is definitely not a waste of mine. Thank you Ruth, you are such a tonic 💛.
Best shorts this year the Marks and Spencer Mom shorts. I got them in black and I just don't wanna take them off. High waisted, the make my legs look leaner. Greetings from Greece!!!
Great video as always! Try the Everlane cotton twill shorts. They are short, but flattering. I highly recommend them. Currently it seems like the lighter colored ones are truer to size for me.
💯 agree short shorts are everywhere and are SO tight around the legs! it’s like some horrible sausage McMuffin situation. 😫 if I get a bigger size then they are horrible and gappy around my waist and still look hellish. What happened to high waisted loose fit mid length shorts? Can’t be bothered with denim speedos
You made my day. Sorry the purchase was underwhelming, but your honest response to it all was amazing. I haven't dared try H&M after I hit 40. You are brave, thank you.
Soooo relatable! My other half asked me why I bother placing orders, when I send them all back😂. And what are girls shorts that short too!?! I’ve a 10 yr old and she’s in age 12-13 and they are all short shorts….which I don’t want her in….and they are so uncomfortable too.
I guess that other half is the husband: support him in getting into his mid-life Magnum PI moment and buy him some sets of decent vintage 1981 denim short shorts with Hawaiian button up shirts. Your daughter will be bored by short shorts very fast!
Welcome to Gen Z, mami! LOL! You're such a good sport for doing this, and as another over-18er, I recommend just buying well fitting chinos and hand trimming and sewing them into shorts that fit. TFP : )
I have had to put leggings on under my shorts today, for the sake of common decency and any human who sees me, which entirely defeats the purpose of wearing shorts!
whaaat do you mean unsuccessful, well you had my attention for four and a half minutes, you earned yourself a thumbs up, I was searching for the song 🎵 short shorts, The Royal Teens, I think you wear those outfits very well Ruth.
I went to school for fashion design back in the day and according to industry standards, H&M are not women's clothes; they are categorized as "misses," which does not mean what you think it means. In the fashion industry it means young woman, such as 16 - 29 years of age. The whole cut of the clothes is made different for "women's" category of clothes, which are suited from women 30+ especially if they've had any babies. I suppose we could all have a body like a 16 - 29 year old if we really worked at it and chose to eat a lot less, but who has time or desire to live like that when we have so much else to do and love? xx
H&M is the worst lately. Everything is so SMALL. Gap has cute high-waisted denim shorts that have a 6” or so inseam. I’m tall, too, and they’re my favorites this summer.
'Gynecological'...thats the funniest thing I've heard in a ling time! Loved this short video!
Very fab demonstration of healthy self esteem. What I’ve learned from this is is to question the cut and style of the clothes and not to blame my own body for not making them “work”.
I like my shorts to be to my ankles. Sometimes they’re referred to as trousers.
Hillarious
Or at last cover my knees😂😂
😂😂😂
This is the funniest video I've seen in ages!!! You have perfectly captured that bewildered feeling we get when we try on clothes we thought we would like, only to find ourselves wondering who on earth they were designed for!
Now this is refreshing brutally honest content. I can truly relate. 🤣
Sometimes Ruth, you are the most honest person on TH-cam. Love this video.
Lol, I can definitely relate! That's pretty much the conversation I have with myself in my head when trying on shorts and doing all the bending in the changing room.
This gave me a good old laugh. 🤣 I felt like I’d visited the H&M changing room with an old friend.
This is literally the BEST thing I’ve watched in forever….
🤣🤣🤣🤣 This was amazing! I loved every second of it and identify with this struggle so much hahaha
Thank you! I'm trying something new with posting insta stuff here too. Is an experiment! x
This was the best content I've seen in a while, thank you!
This was delightful. The musical interlude was so appropriate 😊. Thanks for the lighthearted fun, Ruth!
Best ever, clothing review. Please do more. So honest. 😂😂😂 thank you Ruth.
The nicest shorts are high waisted linen that fall like a floaty skirt, they can be short but still look classy
Lol yeah I feel the same way about those gynecolically short shorts 🤣
Just enjoyed watching. Good to see we all get those days
😂😂😂 brilliant video! The struggle is real! Hate short shorts lol
Ruth, I just bought the denim shorts from Everlane that I worried would be too short, but actually worked out nicely. I bet they’d look great on you.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels like this😜😜😤😢
You made my day!!😆😆😆😆😆
:)
Never ever, EVER change, Ruth. Love you so. 😆💗💗💗
You’re a rare one, Ruth!!! And I love you for it! Others would wear those and not care-but there’s something about modesty that should still be relevant!
And you’re a model! Imagine how us mere mortals feel. 😂😂😂
This had me lmao 😂 😂 lol .. scout shorts 🤣
I feel your pain !! Hush & good old M & S are great for shorts , happy shopping xxxx
These are the exact conversations I have with myself when I buy new clothes 🤣
🤣 brilliant, best try on ever despite the disappointing outcome. Revolve has really good laid back styles but on the pricier side
I laughed so hard at your demonstration "Can't get your keys!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love it! Also, the dress looked amazing on you!!! I really liked it, but those shorts... Definitely not designed for people 😅
Ruth you look amazing!! 🤩 Can you do a what I eat in a day and also what exercises you do 🙏
Love , love, love your videos. They never fail to make me chuckle 😤
You are hilarious! I got myself ones from target. Mom shorts. They call a lot of things “mom” now. Great shorts. Not too short, high waisted and comfortable which is hard for denim to be. Oh, at the pull on from Walmart are magic! Not denim, come in different colors. You guys have to try those!
Oh my gosh. You are hilarious !!! I loved it. More of those raw fun videos please 😃
I pull the 'struggling to do up shorts' face, and also do the dance of the wriggling worm having a seizure, trying to convince myself that I can squeeze into them. Such a fun - and in point - vid
You wouldn't think buying shorts could be so blimmin' complicated !
I'm laughing loudly 😂
That might have been a total waste of your time but anything that makes me laugh this much is definitely not a waste of mine. Thank you Ruth, you are such a tonic 💛.
More of these! Yes to Me&em 🙏
Fantastic video! I’m in stitches 🤣 Really useful feedback though - I’ll stay clear of those shorts!
I’m glad you made this ,I thought it was just me!! I currently have zero pairs of shorts I like and 2 pair I hate!!!
Best shorts this year the Marks and Spencer Mom shorts. I got them in black and I just don't wanna take them off. High waisted, the make my legs look leaner. Greetings from Greece!!!
Great video as always!

This was the best 😂 I love my short shorts but definitely need to pick where you wear them imo lol
You are such a breathe of fresh air 🥰

Could be your best video everrrrr,,,,hilarious!
That’s so hilarious! Loved it xx
This made my day
Can relate, glad im not the only one levis do some good denim shorts.
Yeah am ordering some today!
Hilarious!! gynaecological!!🤣🤣 loved yr flowery blouse at the end though, where was that from?..x
I almost spit in my morning coffee! Hilarious!
The blouse at the end was my favourite.
You look gorgeous in everything 💗💗💗
Thanks Ruth, you really gave me a laugh. 🤣🤣

You should try newlook boyfriend denim shorts or vintage levis shorts both are a non obsence length xx

Hahahah
Ruth - I just LOVE you lol 🤣🤣🤣
I never comment but I absolutely loooooved the vid.
That really made me smile, thanks, so funny x
😂😂 I once put my back out putting on a pair of jeans - I thought you were going to do the same! 🥰
On line shopping.... it’s a struggle 😖🤬.!! Hugs from the states 😍💖
Hahaha I loved this...please do more. 😃
You are absolutely hilarious 😂
Ruth-I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!😩
whaaat do you mean unsuccessful, well you had my attention for four and a half minutes, you earned yourself a thumbs up, I was searching for the song 🎵 short shorts, The Royal Teens, I think you wear those outfits very well Ruth.
Loved this so funny xx
If RUTH can't pull them off.... What was I even thinking!...🤣
Most relatable video I've seen in ages. :P I hate those short shorts, and mostly I just can't stand denim shorts, what's the point?
Best video ever!!
Hello, may I ask, was the last blouse from H&M also? It looks lovely
I LOVED THIS! lol
You are not the only one. I am with you
I’m all about this! 😂
The only people who can wear shorts like these are tiny teenagers haha! Love the vid!
LOVE the thumbnail lol
😂😂😂 the struggle is real
I don’t know anyone who can actually wear h&m clothing 😂 their sizing is abysmal
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This made me giggle!
😂
(you could wear the cutaway top with a racerback bra, that usually works)
I love the shorts they are so nice and short
Hillarious just what I needed
This was soooo funny!!! Loved it! And all clothes are awful. What‘s up h&m?

Looking gorg 💕
Thanks Hollie x
Ahh Ruth, you are so comical!
I ended up buying some men's denim shorts as I couldn't find any ladies ones I liked!
Hilarious 🤣
I find Gap shorts are the best fit. Shame they're leaving the UK
Haha loved that
So relatable :D
Thank you
Thank god it’s not just me!
Shorts are just a giant NO for me. Thanks for a good laugh!
If the stunning Ruth has the same problems as I do, I’m fine. ❤️
Hilarious 😂
PS: I tried some shorts once and they were so tight, I felt like Kenneth from Benidorm!! 🤣🤣
lol...thanks for the laugh
H&M is the worst lately. Everything is so SMALL. Gap has cute high-waisted denim shorts that have a 6” or so inseam. I’m tall, too, and they’re my favorites this summer.
