Is it appropriate to wear shorts in Sicily?

Yet another question before my trip in June. Allow me to clarify: I am talking about short-shorts, ones that end a little bit above mid-thigh. Some people have told me it is fine, but others said I will get unwanted attention and that it is not appropriate.

So is it ok to wear shorts like this or not?
Additional Details
Note: I wasn't trying to insult Sicily by asserting that it is backwards because shorts may not be appropriate or anything! I just want to know so I don't draw too much attention to myself. So please don't think I am attacking its culture and lifestyle :(

It's ok if you are visiting the beach or the seaside. For the city you might want to go with a lower pair of shorts, you might want to visit an artistic church and they won't let you in without "appropiate" clothing (it's like if you are going to a mosque in Turkey they might ask you to remove your shoes and wear a scarf on your head, it's a matter of respect).

uhmmm no..it's not very appropriate

although there are tourists from a specific european country who wear sandals with socks -_-


MM
Perfectly OK at seaside locations, near the beach etc. Never OK if you're visiting a church.

Other than those places, you can wear them - generally - but yes, they're borderline inappropriate (esp. in smaller towns) and get ready for unwanted attention/comments/ strange looks. People in Italy like to stare at you and comment. I know, I'm one of them...

it's really OK, nobody ll tell u or think anything...

You can wear whatever you want!!!obviously they are perfect for the sea-side but you can also use that to travel or see the places...


Don
I lived in Italy for 13 years and unless you don't care or doesn't matter to you then don't wore, the only thing i will say about that is confine that to the beach and don't ware that in town because then you will draw a lot of attention and that kind you don't want.
I was on a military base and worked for the military in Catania, Sicily.

why not???

Anyway I think that those kind of shorts are perfect for the beach and not to walk around the city.
If you really wanna wear shorts be prepared to get a lot of male attention and various comments.

would you wear shorts in your hometown? If so, why shouldn't you wear them in Sicily?


mg@
if it is appropriate in your country so it is in mine.

what do you mean with "appropriate"?

sicily is like the rest of the world. women can wear mini-skirt, heavy make-up, show a lot of cleavage. we can even talk to men!
